    Mine arrived this morning... it was meant to be UPS as that’s the tracking number I had when it got or should I say when it was left at front door it was fastways who delivered it.
    It was lucky I got it at all as my fastway driver isn’t the best ...

    UPS has a service called i-parcel (https://www.i-parcel.com). I guess it is for legacy obligations and contracts that in Ireland it is Fastways Couriers that handles those packages here, despite UPS presence on the island.

    Hence the word similar and not the same.;)
    Still a decent price for an Xbox,3 games and 3 months Gold.

    Still cheaper than here and no point starting new thread - 2 points for You.

    Nah - it's just not a good deal. If someone couldn't get it for €99(my get lost with UPS, now it's showing up in Sligo after a week;) it's kind of a deal but not a super duper one:)

    I'm planning on buying the xbox one for myself for Xmas. Unfortunately I didn't buy at black friday. It'll just be for the odd few car games etc (not a gamer but enjoy it as downtime). I will prob also use it for Netflix, amazon video etc.
    Question is what's the cheapest right now and should I just wait till after Xmas sales at this stage?

    They tend to be snapped up quickly. Check the other European Amazon sites.

    Haggelzon is a good app to find the best deal for stuff Europe wide on Amazon.

    The €99 deals don't tend to last more than an hour or two. It was up on HUKD for a while before I posted.

    But it's a deal that's been repeating. Anyone who wants one should be able to get one easy enough. Not in time for xmas mind.

    This has been a repeating deal so I am sure there will be a few more instances. You have to bag them quickly though.

    Sign up for email notifications of this thread and a few others (eg bargain thread in the xbox section). Sign up for a notification alert on HUKD.
    You could put price alerts on camelcamelcamel though I find them too slow for a deal that sells out in a couple of hours.

    Have all your sign-in details, address etc sorted on amazon so you can do a quick checkout.

    I've a couple new wireless xbox one s white controllers and codes for Minecraft, Sea of Thieves And Fortnite. What would be a fair asking price for these?

    I'm using xbox as streamer with harmony remote.

    Maybe €30-35 for the controllers. Don't think you'll really get anything for the rest. They're either free or on Gamepass.

    After picking this up, many thanks and it comes with a discount code for 3 months of Xbox live gold. However, this is restricted on amazon to people residing in france. Does anyone know of a workaround or anyone in France who would like the code?

    Yes, use a fake french address as the default shipping address on account. Change after purchase.

    Got mine and it’s set up. I’ve never used one before (I played Tekken in arcades in the 80s) Anybody got any links for complete newcomers? Can the games be played offline? Me against the machine rather than randomers killing me after a minute? What are the most realistic war/fighting games to get?
    There’s a lot of buttons on the controller..... Complete nube

    Off top of my head most realistic war game in there is elite sniper 3 ( set during Italian campaign of WW2)

    It should of came with a free month of gamepass so you will the library of games.

    Agree with the above about getting Gamepass. Have a look in the Xbox forum on here and you’ll pick up loads of info!

    I would say around Easter would be the next best time ro buy. Raging would have bought it myself at that price and I have not played my 360 in a while but if I got one of these I just might start playing games again as I have a spare TV now too.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I have been fooling myself exactly let me that. The truth was I am bored with games, with all-the-same reheated burgers...
