    Ordered Forza edition yesterday midday tis still pending, few reports on Hotukdeals of orders being cancelled which is weird since they put it back in stock several times. Fingers crossed.

    The regularity of insertions has nothing to do with the purpose of an earth. Don't do this. The chassis of an xbox is aluminum and if goes live without an earth you could get a lovely wallop when you touch it.

    In many plugs the earth pin is not connected, it's only there to open the covers for live and neutral contacts.

    So I ordered this on Saturday morning .. to be honest it took ages I wasn’t even sure the order went through as the site wouldn’t work when I translated it into English ... I did get a pending email a few hours later. I couldn’t pay by Irish card for some reason so I paid by pay pal .. never got confirmation from pay pal that payment had be put through... any way got shipping confirmation tonight and a tracking number.
    Happy out another Christmas gift sorted for a decent price... thanks OP

    I think some HUKD buyers got orders cancelled because those wallies were messing around with fake addresses.

    My order is still showing as pending. This is pretty annoying as there are games on sale that I want to buy. I'd like to know if my order will be cancelled or not. Also, how the hell does Microsoft have such an awful purchasing experience?

    For a casual gamer which one makes sense One S at 169 with 2 controller or One X at 320 with 2 Controllers. Difference of 150.

    I do like 4k. But play very rarely. Please help.

    Can I return X Box X to Game Stop?? Not Opened Yet.

    Lol

    One-s is fine if you want to save money. Slower and not as pretty but you wont know any better if you've never played either


  • Registered Users Posts: 241 ✭✭Sponsorgate


    149 euro for same bundle in Argos. Still good value for a casual gamer ??


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,825 ✭✭✭IvoryTower


    Great value


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,651 ✭✭✭✭beauf


    I guess it depends on how many games on disc you play, or intend to play.


  • Registered Users Posts: 241 ✭✭Sponsorgate


    Reserved in Argos. Have until tomorrow evening to decide

    Its cheaper on Amazon France

    Had a look at that, the amazon france deal works out at €130, but shipping and VAT costs added on to it brings it up to about €143 and then if you need to buy a figure 8 cable for it, you'd be close to the Argos price, but for the extra few quid, you could pick it up down the road and easily return it if necessary

    If you're spending 150 you might as well pay the extra 20 euro and go with the 170 euro deal on the Microsoft Germany site for the full disc S version. (free postage)

    Comes with a game too.

    Excellent suggestion.

    You mean 2 Controller version or any version with games exist.


  • Registered Users Posts: 242 ✭✭dubliniift


    Amazon france had a bundle at 210 with 2 controller and 3 games. One S - with disc

    I guess had, Fifa 19, Forza and another game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,651 ✭✭✭✭beauf


    I was getting another as we wouldn't have to many conflicts on the one we currently have.
    But I realized we just have conflicts about the one with the disc drive then.
    Also we seem to break controllers fairly often. I know they can be fixed, but tbh I just don't get around to it, so just buy a replacement.
    Also then we have friends around and we need more controllers.

    A controller is about €50 two of them is €100. So that leave the Xbox with disc costing you about €100. Seems better value.

    What's the warranty situation if we order from MS Germany. Valid in Ireland? Grabbed with 2 controllers One S with disc. No games though.

    How to get 1e 3 months membership. Also how to maximise the gain say by buying 12 months gold pass. Clueless.

    TIA

    My €170 One S with 2 controllers arrived this afternoon, thanks OP! One for Santa.
    Great value even as a 4k disk player.
