Nobby (great name btw) please stop scaring people and trying to convince them it's a risk to buy this, people have been buying xbox ones, ps4's and various other electronics from amazon sites in europe and they have worked fine with a cheap adapter..

Of your 7 comments on this site your last two were just scaremongering and people here aren't stupid so give up.

This is precisley why people should be banned, for providing information that is so factually incorrect that it costs people money they would never normally spend.

Replacement UK IEC mains cable £2.33 delivered

:smiley:

If she's only 10 and only wants minecraft, get a preowned 360? Quarter of the price

You see, clearly you have not got the slightest idea about electrical equipment in the EU, or probably in general. The AC to DC adapter supplied by Microsoft across the EU is the same SKU/Part number for all countries that operate 220-240v mains, the only difference being the lead that runs from the mains socket to the rear AC input of the adapter.

AC to DC is handled inside the adapter, and if there was any risk of fire, it would be equal to that of someone using it in France, Spain, or Romania for that matter.

Again please don't post baseless 'facts' if they are just rumour, speculation or what you personally believe.

Excellent price.
Build your own bundle :smiley:

If it is really £199.29 all in, then it is a hot deal

My daughter wants one with Minecraft for Christmas. I'm nervous about buying this :smiley:

£210.13 with delivery

Not sure what I've done but I think I paid about £202

I think it is slightly unfair to quote a price and then assume that buyers will have a certain card in order to get that price. It is a bit like the term "Graded" used for second hand PS4s

this is a steal! good find! just ordered with forza 6.. £222 :smiley:

*£226

​I just took delivery of Lego dimensions from Amazon.fr, only took 3 days for delivery and everything was as it should be - obviously this is a different thing but just saying Amazon France will post things here fine

It's still Amazon guys .... Worst case is different plug

so tempted by this and the moto g as it would halve the delivery cost getting two things but really can't afford the phone let alone the xbox. ahhhhhhhh I want though!!!

EDIT - £210 including delivery if you pay in GBP/let Amazon do the conversion for the Xbox.

I make it £202 delivered on my Halifax clarity card, thanks op!

If she's only 10 and only wants minecraft, get a preowned 360? Quarter of the price

indeed, minecraft on PS3 or X360 are fine.

Plus friends will most likely have the same console and can play together through Live

Woooooooooooooot

Need to think about the £20-£25 extra for a proper uk power supply.

Samantha got an Xbox with Minecraft when she as about 10, she's 13 now and still enjoys it. Only getting the Xbox One because she couldn't think of anything else she wanted for Christmas LOL Well other than a Furby Boom. :confused:

What power supply would I need for this please?

I personally wouldn't take the risk.

As good as any bundle so far today.

Ordered on my Halifax Clarity card, and added Halo 5 making it £227 for me

Amazon sell the UK 3 pin cable for £5, or use a europe to 3 pin adapter

The PSU is exactly the same here as in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the rest of Europe. Just the power cable from the plug the brick are different.
As said, use an adapter, or if you really want to be sure, get a cable from amazon/Ebay for under a fiver.

Scaremongers....gotta love 'em.

You can use the below link to work out the rate supposedly right now if you know how much % your bank charges too. I haven't bought anything yet so cannot comment how accurate it is but as it is Visa, it should be pretty much spot on:

https://www.visaeurope.com/making-payments/exchange-rates

EDIT - GBP is under British Pound as it took me a while to find that! :laughing:

Excellente deal :-)

Any idea on how long the delivery will take?

You are right, but that is the wrong cable. The xbox only has 2 holes not 3

Yes, which means the middle pin (earth) is not used, and does not stop this cable being used on the Xbox, just means if you want to use it on something else e.g. A PC PSU or whatever you can! :smiley:

This morning I bought 1TB for £225.00 from Amazon DE

Unless her friends parents gave in any already bought their kids next gen consoles.

If not, then she'll be "the cool kid". And all her friends will come round to play

Finally below the £200 mark.

When you couldn't get a wii for love or money in the uk I got a colleague to bring me one back from Spain, it's been plugged into an adaptor for 8 years now and no one has died, someone got smacked once when the wrist strap wasn't on but pretty sure that doesnt count.

Banned for providing safety advice and a link? Haha! Well done on not burning your house down, doesn't mean it's good practice.

It's not a risk buying a foreign Xbox as they are region free. The risk is using a £1 piece of plastic to handle the continuous difference in amps.

Anybody used HSBD debit card... do you know how much will loot ?

If you don't have a Halifax Clarity card, or similar, then you could use Revolut (a virtual Mastercard with no foreign exchange fees) for a fee free payment in Euros. The Revolut app also has a very handy exchange calculator built into it, so you know exactly how much you will be paying beforehand. Also, enter MSE during registration for a £5 credit into your Revolut account, making the deal even better!
He HUKD Revolut thread is here.
(Also added to the description above)

​Didn't think about that, good idea, and cheaper than the Xbox one version. Thanks. :sunglasses:

price is valid until 29th November and is still in stock this morning. :smiley:

It all comes from the same places across Europe (including dare I say the UK). When you place your order it is located in the closest and fastest distribution centre that it is then despatched from. Ordering from any amazon site will do this (apart from the US or Japan).

Ordered stuff from .de and it came from the uk, ordered stuff from .es and it came from Italy.

Does anybody know the cheapest prices for Fifa16 and Forza 6 to see what it would come out as a bundle price?

Edit: just seen deals on here for both at £24.99 for each for physical copies. Plus the extra controller at £35 all in for £285 seems a good price.

How does the warranty work? Do I have to pay to send it to France etc in case of repair! Thanks

my son currently has a kinect with his xbox360 and he uses it as the microphone so he doesn't have to wear a headset.

is it worth getting a kinect for the xbox one?

Eternal drive = Beyond lifetime guarantee? :stuck_out_tongue:

nice deal but hey amazon uk has this one for 224

Xbox One 500GB with Ori and Rare Replay

​If you want those games its a good deal, but I didn't

mine has just despatched, got an email for 10eusos promotional credit for placing the order. think it's for DVDs and BluRays.

Good deal just ordered with Forza 6 for £226 delivered to UK

Cold. I bought one with Kinect for the same price over a month ago................. Just kidding It's still hot. :stuck_out_tongue:

People should be banned for that?
Overreacting much?

How can this get heat and the game one for £230 or the amazon one for £220 cant? youd rather go through all the hassle of ordering from france than pay £20-£30 more with games??

Some people...

Normally I'd completely agree it is over reacting, but if these sort of people continue to just post 'facts' and that puts someone in the position of not buying this deal, and saving them money. Or even worse buying this deal and then spending more than they needed, it defeats the point of this site entirely.

So in this case, I feel that my comment was borderline, but very valid due to the nature of this site.

Great price.

Then you need a new plug too, thats hassle to me mate... also sending it back if any faults, hassle to me mate.
Then the fact you need a card to pay with no over sea costs, hassle to me mate.

What about the Raspberry Pi for about £25?
I heard you can play Minecraft on it.

You pay your money, you make your choices. I don't have any personal objection if you find this a more difficult way for you to buy and own, but for a lot of other people it will be just fine, and save them some of there hard earned money.

As for the warranty if it goes wrong, Microsoft UK will still be the ones handling the collection and repair of your console. With regards to having a special card to pay 'no over seas costs' as you put it. If you are a person who takes saving money seriously, and do any travelling at all, then not having one of the many fee free cards available is doing yourself no favors at all.

You make no sense... i doubt people who travel a lot whinge about saying £20 mate...

I am happy I make no sense to you. You are clearly not the target audience of sites like this and MSE. :smiley:

If you add some games from the same french site to the console to make a bundle, are they in English language?

even better buy her a kindle fire to play that, save more money

Sorry guys this is a bit off topic in regards to this deal.

I bought Xbox One on the Amazon.de deal earlier this week. I can't seem to find a kettle plug indoors, but I do have a shaving adapter to convert the two pins into 3. Is that OK to use for the power supply? Otherwise I'll just buy a kettle lead. I've tried googling but haven't found anything that helps. Any advise would be much appreciated :smiley:

Does the nationwide cashback pay if it's over £250 though, Or is it really 'any price, but pay max of £25'? It states 'up to £250'

Has anyone successfully ordered with a revolut card ? Mine keeps getting declined :disappointed:

I think you will find that she is not just saying "She wants Minecraft" she is saying "She wants an Xbox One And Minecraft".(as in it's really for the OP)

Great deal. We bought the Amazon Germany deal back in September for £225, it worked fine with the 2 pin plug supplied coupled with an adaptor....for about 3 weeks. One day while hubby was playing there was a pop and it went off. We weren't sure if it was the power brick or the unit so phoned Microsoft who said they would replace the faulty part but we had to figure out which bit was faulty. We don't know anyone with an Xbox one lead to try, Microsoft suggested we may be quicker to contact Amazon as they tend to replace quicker. I emailed Amazon explaining the problem, the next day I got an email saying that they had ordered a replacement to be sent out asap and we need to return the faulty unit and power supply and they will reimburse the postage fees.

Amazing customer service from Amazon Germany! The replacement arrived a few days later, but again with the 2 pin plug which we were wary of using so I messaged microsoft who said that they would exchange the 2 pin plug for a uk version, they sent me pre paid postage labels and once they received the "faulty" one they sent out the correct uk version for free!

All long winded and worrying but cannot fault Microsoft or Amazon Germany and I would definitely buy from them again. Sorry for the essay but thought it may help someone in the future.

I have the Halifax MasterCard Fee Free for Purchasing abroad in any country and for this, online buying from anywhere in the World
I use the card for holidays and this only, Card is FREE and sits 95% of the time doing nothing and only comes out of my wallet for these deals and holidays.
In short, the card is a no brainer for anyone who is on this site not to have, get one, use when you need it and that's it.
This deal is HOT due to the price and what you are getting.
Are you going to pickup a XB1 for this price anywhere else. NO, so if you want an XB1, get one. I you have the card, Use it for it, if you don't have the card and want to get this, then probs not worth it with the fees on it using a normal card.
I did the German deal the other day for FIFA 16 & 1 Months EA Access and Console for £217.57 with No Fees..
I will not get a Brand New XB1 and this package for this anywhere else, so no Brainer for me,
if i had not got that deal, I would have gone for this DEAL..
Each to there OWN and all that... Remember why you are on HUKDeals ;-)
To GET A DEAL!!! lol :laughing:

Isn't the power cable/plug for this somply a 3-pin female socket cable that sticks into the back of the xbox one? Isn't this the standard cable that fits the xbox 360 and which plugs into most computers power supplies? The sort of cable that most people already have?

its only £223.99 on uk amazon with ori and rare replay, think people without a non fee card are better going for that.

Can't understand French is there a way to translate on site ?

Thank you ! Was using safari on iPhone so couldn't see translate tab there

mines been dispatched and should be here Wednesday! :smile:

Don't worry about plugs it's only a kettle lead just throw it out and use a UK one

Is this much better then going for the Microsoft deal and make my own bundle with Forza 6?

Does anyone have a link for a good place to buy a kettle plug from?
