Good price for a 1tb console. Pay in euro, using a fee free card for a cheaper price.

You can pay in GBP too! at the end of the checkout procedure it gives you the option to choose your currency.
I ordered 1TB console + rise of the tomb raider + tomb raider definitive edition + cod bo3 Steel Book bundle yesterday for £294 delivered.. Checked the exchange rate online and it was the same as amazons so i went for it!
I don't think i'm going to get same deal for the price here in the UK even in the upcoming sales so i just went for it!! thETA is quoted as 2nd to 6th of Jan!!

Quite a good price by UK standards, but it's DeLorean time again I'm afraid.
I managed to bag one of these on December 4th for the princely sum of €327.91 (inc shipping), which eventually showed up on my Halifax Clarity CC ad £234.34, but then Amazon FR refunded me a total of €35 (approx £25.75) after enquiring about a 'Flash Sale' price drop after I'd purchased it.
Worked out at approximately £215.40 @ today's ER.
Gotta love Amazon in any flavour!

Same! Although I went with the pay in GBP rather than use my bank do the exchange rate. My refund was only £15 so I ended up paying £224 in total

If I get an XBOne soon, it'll be via a deal like this. And the option to pay in GBP is great.
This was £220 on Amazon Germany a while ago. :disappointed:

I'm not advocating one deal over another as some prefer Amazon but if you order from ms France you can get a second controller or a free game for this price.

I bought two XB1 bundles recently and on opening the box, everything is primarily in English.
Bundle # 1: 'XB1 Fallout Bundle'
This came with physical copy of 'Fallout 4' + 'Fallout 3' on DLC card, the text on the 'Fallout 4' box and the 'Fallout 3' DLC card were primarily English.
Bundle #2: 'Tomb Raider Bundle'
This came with 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' and 'Tomb Raider Definitive Edition'. Both games were DLC cards and and again, both were primarily English.
The 'Tomb Raider Bundle' also came with three other games (Amazon Lightning Deal); 'Call of Duty Black Ops III (Steelbook Exclusive', 'Wolfenstein' and 'The Evil Within'.
All of these additional games were physical copies and the text on all of the covers and booklets is Francais, which is a shame.
I also have an 'XB1 Elite' console on the way and I'm guessing/hoping that will be the same as the other two consoles bought recently and also be in English.
I still haven't opened any of the XB1s yet, so cannot comment on the system language itself as I'm still faffing through Lego Dimensions with my 8 year-old on Xbox360, but I guess the language will be the first thing to select on booting up the console.
