    Hi guys I'm not sure if any of you will know the answer to this question but anyway it's worth a go. Argos have a bundle of a 500gb Xbox One with a Fifa 16 download, but in the offer section it says that if you tick the box you get an Xbox one controller for free. What I'm wondering is does this mean that you essentially get two free controllers, as I assume there's one that already comes with the console as standard, or if it's just one?

    Thanks to anyone that can help!

    well every xbox comes with one controller by standard (edit: default?), so technically you are not getting 2 free, because you're already paying for one with the xbox :D

    so you would have 2 controllers, 1 for free.

    /edit: you mean the offer for 369, right? the controller is valued at 55, so just make sure they are not charging you 424.

    Ah well of course, it never dawns on me to actually factor in the controller to the overall price 😂

    Thank you for clearing that one up!

    Edit: Yep I mean this one here - http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/4457910/c_1/1|category_root|Video+games|14419738/c_2/3|19780877|Xbox+One|37328270/c_3/4|cat_37328270|Xbox+One+consoles|37328802.htm

    when you buy it, just read the description on the box of the xbox itself while you are at argos, it tells you whats inside. just incase you're getting a strange model that doesnt come with a controller (doesnt exist, but you know, just to be safe), you can return it while still in store.

    Seems They've stopped doing the controller now. Unless i'm missing it?

    You mean you don't know about the secret menu? You need to know the special handshake.

    Argos change their console bundle offers regularly. Now that Microsoft offer way more bundles, there's greater potential for future Argos offers to be better in the coming weeks. November is always a great month for console bundles.
