Anyone have any luck getting Child of Eden to work on the Xbox One now that it is supported via backwards compatibility?
I've tried my own original 360 disc but to no avail, just get told it's not yet supported.

Gamestop offered 130 euro for a standard X-Box One with controller. I left it, I think I can get more for it elsewhere.

This includes the 50% extra, they were offering 90 quid for it.

I knew E268 sounded too good to be true :P

It might be because it was day one version with extra controller and Kinect?? (Even tho Kinects are selling for 20 quid after they've been discontinued)

I'll keep looking and come back to it if it really is the best price I can get for it because it seems low right now.

I went to GameStop and got €268 for my day one with one controller and Kinect
Cex value should be on the website

Can you post up a copy of the receipt so we can see the amounts you got for the individual items?

Jenda · 31-10-2017 4:19pm

Looking into it more

eBay ones are selling for 150, so thats about 130 with fees

CEX price listed on website is €107 cash

It's probably NOT that bad a price with these in mind then, I was just pure spoiled from the post above

TheYardStick · 31-10-2017 4:46pm

I was in with them there and was told the same thing for a 500gb One S - €140 plus 50% to make €210 and 5% on top of the for level 1 membership for a total of €220.50.

Considering I got it for €224 with Destiny 2 and Forza Horizon 3 in September I can hardly argue with that.

What did you get for it from CEX?

I'm going to trade in my standard original X-Box One to upgrade to the One X and I'm not sure whether to do the Gamestop trade-in deal, sell to CEX or try to sell separately basically.

€101 cash is what I got as it was scratched. I know I would have got more if I sold it myself but I find that is too much hassle.

31-10-2017 5:30pm

I still want to know how @OmegaGene got E268 for a day one console :P

Did you get that in cash or on a gift card?

as a trade in against the xbox one x

Venema · 31-10-2017 9:28pm

how much they offering for just a trade in of a brand new S?

I posted a receipt so you can see what was what

receipt now deleted as there was too much info on it

Too slow, I got all the information I wanted off it. Also I would like to thank you for paying for my Xbox One X. Just a heads up just to soften the blow when you go to Gamestop on launch day and they inform you that your purchase was transferred to another individual.

Might not have happened.

Gizmo55 · 31-10-2017 9:56pm

Are the people who are trading in with Gamestop able to get the One X on Day One?

Here’s a copy of the receipt without my email and phone number
GameStop is better for trading in the Xbox than going to cex and much less hasssle than selling on boards

Why did the store assistant write on your receipt? I think they made a mistake because the €180 you got seems very high for the original X when another poster got offered €80 before the 50% bonus?

It's a nice chunk for you though off the X!!

he said the computer wasnt accepting an extra bonus, for the console with controller the receipt says €198.00 and the kinect is €17.82 giving €215.82

it was the store manager i was dealing with and he said he would get the written amount added on later via head office

i am not complaining anyway i was expecting €150 max

He made a mistake though. A 500GB One S is worth €140 trade with the controller with an extra 50% bringing it to €210. You had an original Xbox (I think) which is worth €80-€90 before the trade in bonus.

It looks to me he refunded you the price of a second hand One and manually added a top up bonus :pac:

Look at the date, for some reason he got the trade value of the original Xbox One against the Fifa deal. Thats why the trade value is so high.

Spudman_20000 · 01-11-2017 4:36pm

How confident are people that Gamestop are going to have enough stock come launch day? Especially for those who have traded in their old console already? A lot could be left waiting a few weeks.

thats why i was asking about midnight opening.

smyths have a comment on their webpage saying first come first served for preorderd, and unfulfilled preorders will be filled by nov 19th. i read that as a preorder does not guarantee a console.

that's for the normal version, i have a scorpio preordered which i'm not even sure will have more stock after the first day so presume they have a console per preorder for that

OmegaGene · 01-11-2017 4:58pm

No midnight launch in my local GameStop, no hours for the staff the manager said

they had better have a scorpio for me. Preordered it specifically to have it, not to have a chance at getting it.

Lootbox RNG in real life.

That's my concern too. I don't want to trade mine in and be sitting here next week with nothing.

Anyone know how long the gamestop 50% offer runs? I can't get there until the weekend, Friday latest

rafi bomb · 02-11-2017 12:21am

What's the point in a pre order system if it's first come first served ðŸ€”

TrustedApple · 02-11-2017 8:32am

I am still on the wall about getting the one x.

I barely use my ps4 pro and the switch has came my number 1 console.

But I like sinny new things and i need a reason to tell her that 58 inch 4k tv there was a reason for it......

If you have the spare cash and can get a good deal on trade then it's worth the upgrade.
It's not essential however. It could be the hype train getting you caught up.
Same games, same controllers, same peripherals and OS. Just plays games better.

You'll get €330 trade in for the Pro against the X.

That's fine, but again if you have the spare cash to upgrade fire away. It's not essential however.
In line with the PS4 - PS4 Pro.

The jump for the X is much larger than the jump from PS4 to Pro though.

TheYardStick · 02-11-2017 3:23pm

Traded in with GameStop in Galway. I was told the One X was all sold out for the 7th and the next round of stock is expected to come in on the 20th of the month. Unless somebody doesn't want their pre-order I'll be stuck waiting a little longer than I wanted, but between a 500gb One S, Uncharted Lost Legacy and Zelda I got €300 off it so not much complaints from me.

Oh I'm not doubting that. But the thought process is the same.
As is the market target.

It's hard to know until we get our hands on it but I'm really looking forward to the single player games and seeing how they use the power.

hots · 02-11-2017 5:57pm

Looking to take advantage of the deal too, do I just need to rock up with cables, console (500GB S) and controller to gamestop tomorrow to get ~210 towards the X then? And then from reading it's first come first serve on launch day to see who gets what? Is there any benefit to bringing in the original box for it?

Looks like any pre orders now are going to be available on the 20th according to previous posters

Ah ok, not the end of the world, 50% trade-in bonus is probably as good as it'll get for a while until they do something similar to the S upgrade deal from a few months ago I'd say...

hots · 02-11-2017 6:20pm

Last question, anyone know how long the 50% deal runs for? It's not on the screenshot, if we can't collect the new ones until the 21st I might hold off for a few days more...

MiskyBoyy · 02-11-2017 6:43pm

I have an Xbox One X Scorpio Edition pre-ordered still on Amazon.co.uk but also have one pre-ordered from Smyths.

I'm going to take it from Smyths, so does anyone here still want a Scorpio Edition?

You would have to forward me the £450 and I'd change the delivery address to your home or parcel motel. It's a 1 day delivery in UK to be delivered on the 7th if anyone's interested. I'd send it as a gift so you'd get a gift receipt.

I'll cancel it otherwise, but just in case a boardsie is stuck.

I'd be careful. Symths are saying pre orders are first come first served which defeats the whole purpose of pre ordering

But Scorpio edition's are actually there for who pre-ordered I believe?

Either way, I'll be there first thing when they open just in case.

Not sure on the first point really. It seems an odd situation. Surely they have a list. When I pre ordered I was told to wait for a call on the day. If I do that now someone could order one today and get one and I wouldn't

CatInABox · 02-11-2017 9:54pm

Have to admit, I like the look of the NFL controllers, wouldn't mind an Arsenal or Dublin version.

See them here.

I have it pre-ordered only from the 1st. Does that mean I’ll get it on the 7th? Is it a midnight launch?
