100% don't listen to anyone on here, its full of fanboys. The best and UNBIAS advice I can give is this:

- If you want to play your mates, get the SAME console as them... end of!!
- If you're not bothered about online (which would be mad as its a hell of a lot of fun!), google the exclusives and see what games you'd want to play more.
- If none of the above apply, flip a coin

Don't listen to the fanboys droning on about frames per second and resolution, it really does mean jack diddly, these things are games machines meant for FUN, do yourself a favour and make you mind up, then get stuck in :smiley:

Excellent deal just bought one. Total price including delivery to UK by Thursday 17th Dec was only £227 (paid 313 Euros on credit card that doesn't charge exchange fees). Bearing in mind the Tomb Raider game costs about £40, that means the 1TB console was about £185!. Also, spoke to Amazon in France and they confirmed delivery to UK is not a problem and the T + C are just the same as any Amazon UK purchase.

Arguably the Xbox has a stronger exclusive line up.
Xbox one is backwards compatible with some 360 games.. going forward more games will be supported.
Xbox live can be cheaper. (You now require a sub to play online on the PS4)
Games for Gold has caught up and some would argue that it has surpassed PS+'s free games.

The PS4 had a great start due to a combination of having better hardware, a cheaper price and Microsoft committing PR suicide.

Heat added, why can't Amazon UK offer the same price?

Hot! Great find! :smile:

£235.16 if you pay by GBP a and you don't have a interest free foreign card .

The price change has left a bad taste in my mouth...

Sure it said £218 before I posted my comment , sorry if it didn't . Voted hot :smiley:

Good price. Heat added.

It did briefly - changed as most use different card type :smiley:

Can you use travelex super card to pay in euros?

This is an honest question from someone who no longer games.

I had a 360 which i was addicted to (COD 3&4), my online gaming then dropped off. I sold the 360 (due to subscription) and bought a PS3. The PS3 has hardly been touched for 2 years. I found the PS quite a cold gaming experience but in the latest gen console war the PS4 seems to have annihilated the XBOX.

Some friends (who also drifted away) are contemplating a PS4.

What are the benefits of a XBONE? Im absolutely not a fanboy of either platform, infact i have never picked up a controller of either console.

I am curious about learning something without it descending into petty squabbles.

Thanks in advance.

As it's from France are you getting a euro mains plug with it?

if buying through Amazon fr, should problems arise is it acceptable to contact Amazon uk ?

Hooot ordered :smile:

Just as additional confirmation (as there didn't seem to be a great deal of confidence on this in some of the earlier French XBOne threads); I bought one recently and have it running just fine on a standard 3 pin UK kettle lead. Earth is not connected on the XBOne PSU but the neutral and live pins are spaced exactly the same, so you can indeed swap in kettle leads from any 220-240v region.

That's the one. Ordered, thanks OP. Merry Christmas! I see the 500GB Ori Bundle is now £240 on Amazon UK.... Shocking!

Tempted but do I need one????? Hmmmmmmmm what to do, I promised to wait out until they hit £200 haha

Yes, it is a good deal,but not as good a deal as the previous Fallout deal, no headset and 2 dlc games instead of the 1 dlc and 1 physical copy of the fallout 4 game,the physical copy could have been resold on completion to make the bundle even cheaper as well as the headset if not needed!!!

Cracking deal. This is initially the deal I wanted but I bought this package + black ops 3, wolfenstein and the evil within last week from amazon france. To anyone worried about plugs, just buy a UK kettle lead 2 pin version, mines works perfect. but as someone mentioned you can use a 3 pin as well.

wow

buy now or after Christmas..? will there be better offers when sales kick in or is this the best its gonna get?

Go for it, this is TOP notch deal, for 1TB with 2 outstanding game. New Tomb Raider is one of the few next gen games which really stands above almost all in terms of graphics, gameplay and storytelling

Great price for 1 terabyte model and Rise of the tomb raider.

I bought mine last year from Amazon Fr and it was shipped from the UK so the lead was fine.

I commend your approach. :man::smiley:

Or, you could just make the sensible choice of purchasing a PS4, the console with a future!

Xbox exclusives next year: Quantum break, recore, gears of war 4, new forza, Scalebound, crackdown, sea of thieves, Halo wars 2, looks like it won't be a bad year.

Great find :smiley:

The PS4 has a brighter future, it's outselling the XB1 at an alarming rate, has a better user base and also has a much better upcoming library. If I was to buy next gen, I'd choose the PS4.

quite determined to start a row, aren't you? :smile:
alarming rate? :smile:
better user base? :smile:
much better upcoming library? :smile:

Just accept that both have benefits, both have sold really well compared to last gen, and both have a great future :innocent:

Sorry, I'm definitely coming from the install base/secure future angle. I don't want a row, but surely fanboyism is zero tolerance to those with a differing opinion? I'll never forget how quickly MS dropped support for the original Xbox.

If you want to dredge things up from so long ago, who can forget the Sony CD rootkit that installed secret control mechanisms on your pc, or the incredibly slow sales figures when PS3 first released, or the video playback control software that came as standard on every ps3 that stopped you playing any video file it decided you shouldn't be (cidia, was it?)...
Neither company really has a glowing past.

Thanks

Sorry but what are you on about?!?! I had the original Xbox and don't remember it being dropped at all, it merely came to the end of its life?!?!? As for the " install base/secure future angle", you are aware that the Xbone has shipped MILLIONS of units and is backed by one of the biggest, and highly profitable companies in the world aren't you?!? The way you're talking you'd think they'd sold 1 unit!!! BOTH are safe, BOTH are great, BOTH have advantages and disadvantages.... end of! :smiley:

I would probably agree with you there I guess it's just your luck.

You forgot one!
- Buy both consoles and kcuf all the fanboys! :smirk:

..... then you'll get an ear bashing from the WiiU guys!!! :smiley:

After going up to €369 and then dropping to €349, the pack is now down to €329, which is about £240, maybe £250-£255 with back exchange rates. Still very good. Hmmm...when to bite?

I ordered last week and then cancelled. Ordered again. Thanks to OP.
