You can jam the plug into an Irish socket by pushing in the 'earth' at the top of the socket. I doubt you'll be taking it in and out that often so it shouldn't matter.

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.

The console has a two-pin power socket. The UK cable is two-core with a dummy ground pin in the wall plug.

Thanks but I can't get past checkout, problem with Ireland billing address, tried using VPN too, anyone get it delivered to Ireland via the Microsoft German site?

Dutchy · 01-12-2019 1:14pm

Yes I did albeit I didn't change language to English. Secondary school German came in handy after all these years. Danke OP.

loki7777 · 01-12-2019 1:15pm

Do as i did (after few hours fight): new account on outlook.de - location DE not Ireland. Order and put Deutschland on first screen(not Irland). As address use irish address - if you can - make virtual card with revolut - if not try with different card/paypal.

I did.

Wasn't able to input a card expiry date when the language was being translated to English automatically. Part of the site seems to break. But once in German it proceeded. Irish card. Irish delivery address.

Worked OK for me ordering to Ireland, just got dispatch notice. Already have an old elite controller so by the time I sell a controller and the game codes it'll only have cost 60 odd. Will be using it for game pass to play halo Reach remaster!

Mervyn Skidmore · 01-12-2019 5:22pm

I ordered earlier but got no confirmation email. The money is pending in my card. Anyone else get a confirmation email?

Same for me with star wars

autumnalcore · 01-12-2019 8:18pm

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.

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

harr · 01-12-2019 9:46pm

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.

Mervyn Skidmore · 01-12-2019 11:46pm

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?

dubliniift · 02-12-2019 12:41am

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.

Fuppin hell, this xbox quest is a saga for the ages. Spread over numerous threads.

IvoryTower · 02-12-2019 8:05am

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

Sponsorgate · 02-12-2019 9:56am

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

IvoryTower · 02-12-2019 10:33am

Great value

beauf · 02-12-2019 10:57am

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

Sponsorgate · 02-12-2019 11:03am

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

o1s1n · 02-12-2019 2:37pm

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.

loki7777 · 03-12-2019 2:40pm

Now the fun begins with UPS and delivery address:)

Excellent suggestion.

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

dubliniift · 03-12-2019 4:03pm

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.

beauf · 03-12-2019 4:37pm

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.

My is missing. UPS lost it

harr · 05-12-2019 6:50pm

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 ...

dubliniift · 05-12-2019 7:24pm

Mine was delayed also. Not in any rush for it but I don't like to hear about Fastway leaving them on doorsteps or ones going missing.

Can I ask was it UPS who delivered it ? As my was delivered by fastway even though it was sent through UPS.. are UPS now using fastway as a sub contractor because I detest Fastway.

loki7777 · 05-12-2019 8:46pm

Hi there, I wasn't at my office to receive it personally but all notifications were from UPS and we're on a UPS route.
