    Looks like their Black Friday price. I checked this yesterday and it was €300.

    You'd be better paying €50 more for the Series S

    If it was for myself I’d agree. But getting it for a 7yr olds Christmas present. She wants to play her brother on fortnite.

    Can’t see her making use of the extra benefits of the series s.

    €199 or less is a more reaslistic price for these consoles.

    Far better to stretch for the Series S if possible, you'll get a few more years out of it.

    The all-digital model was €99 last year, on Black Friday and several times subsequently. Watch out for a repeat of those deals.

    You can be sure if you bought one your kids would only play games that require discs.

    They did a great job naming these consoles. Glancing at the thread title I thought it was new S that was discounted already. I'm sure there'll some Christmas confusion/disappointment.

    Getting a 7 year old a dedicated gaming console so they can play Fortnite?

    That’s all sorts of wrong.

    Really sorry to go off topic but you guys seem to know your console stuff. Is Google strada or other streaming games as good as an xbox one?

    so true...I bought the Xbox One X last year with jedi fallen order for €228.
    Buying a One S now for 250? you'd want to be insane.

    Nope, Stadia games are full price, the deals you get on Xbox games are way better and if you get the game pass, or ultimate pass, it's like owning a full library of games.. would recommend Xbox over stadia any day..

    Mods get rid of this.

    Just to be clear this us not the new xbox which retails at 500 euro or the less powerful version at 300.

    You would be absoloutly crazy to buy this last gen console for 250.

    MS sold it directly on their (I think) German store, plus a bunch of the European Amazon stores had the same deal. There was thread about it here.

    I don't have any info that it'll be repeated, but worth a shot keeping an eye out.

    Get yourself setup with a few years of gamepass ultimate and away you go, one of the best bargains I've ever availed of, not to mention the pandemic!

    Holding out to see if last years deals will be repeated this year... €99 digital model was a savage deal last year.

    Got one last year for €99 new from MS direct. Already had a controller so it ended up costing me €65 after I sold the new pad.

    €250 is not a bargain for this. It's not even a good price. It would be madness to buy this at €250 when the Series S is twice as powerful and will last years longer for €50 more.

    Look, I'd implore anyone considering buying this to stop and just go and spend the extra €50 on the new series S if you can afford to do so; the One S will soon be entering end of life and if buying for kids especially they're likely more clued in than you think regarding the new devices and will likely be disappointed if it's their Christmas pressie!

    However, if you're buying it for yourself and you don't care about any of that knock yourself out I suppose.

    I think that price reflects the fact that the old One S disc version is still a fairly high end blu-ray 4k player, so some people buy it for that quality alone. Dedicated players aren't much cheaper. The gaming part is a bonus.
