    So we don't seem to have a thread to advise others of discounted/on sale/bargain price games & hardware...we do now though :) This thread can cover both physical AND digital game bargains, consoles & accessories but obviously isn't to be confused with our Weekly XBLA Game Deals thread, nor our Games with Gold thread. If we can keep things to discussing the bargains that'd be great, if you want to discuss the games themselves, you can do so in our What Are You Playing thread...or for more in depth discussion, head on over to the full on Games forum

    MOD NOTE by Calex : This thread is for genuine bargains only please, not discussion of cheaper games on regional marketplaces.

    Apologies if there already is a thread based around deals for the Xbox One.

    I am looking to pick up the Xbox One this month. Just wondering can anyone direct me to the best deals for it?

    Im still unsure whether to pick up the Xbox One with the Kinect or not. The Kinect less version is released on the 8th right?

    Anyone spot any special offers/ bundles? Would you recommend going with the Kinect?

    Any help would be great thanks.

    Don't know, don't own one.

    HOWEVER, in your position, I'd probably strike now, especially if you actually want Watchdogs and Titanfall. The way I see it:

    470 for Console, Titanfall, Watchdogs and Kinect

    beats 399 for Console on its own.

    I got mine in Argos and got a great deal - there are a number of offers where you get a free game, and then they also give you a voucher for a tenner off anything else...so i used it for another game which was already discounted to 56euro so ended up getting it for 46 - They are miles cheaper than all the others around (which i researched before purchasing)

    Especially for those of us not into multiplier shooters. Be interesting to see what sort bundles offered when the 400 quid xbox is launched next week.

    I'd wait until next week and go for the kinectless version, especially if you find a good deal on it.

    If you ever want kinect then Cex sell them for 30 euro.

    360 Kinect I would say, the Ones Kinect is probably around 100-120 when it seperates from the bundle....

    Is there an option below 'None'? ... They've just announced the Kinect-less package for the 'budget-conscious' core gamer about a week ago. They'll let that settle before tinkering with the price further.

    They may leave that up to the stores. It looks like it will ship without a game (on Amazon at least).

    Although, if you shop around there are bound to be bundles (like at Amazon) where you get the console, with Kinect and two or three games for only £40 more (link). I'd be sure that local stores or Argos might have some similar types of deals.

    Really?

    They won't be making a profit out of that.... :-)

    Had a look at their site there, the original Kinect sells for 35 without the Power supply and 40 with, that's madness, has to be an error on their part....

    Quick everyone - buy all the Kinects...!

    Haha ... Actually, could be handy for building a low cost Mo-Cap rig for a budding film maker (if you're able to use this model of Kinect as a Kinect for Windows or otherwise plug it into PC's).

    Damn they aren't offering watch_dogs with the Titanfall bundle for free anymore. Does Argos do game trade-ins?

    I picked up the Titanfall bundle in Argos yesterday for €470 and got FIFA 14 free with it. The deal isn't listed online but it was listed under special offers on their own digital catalogues. Not sure if it was a glitch in the system or if they just haven't updated the website.

    FIFA 14 or Thief free with selected consoles.
