"With a 500 GB hard drive you've got plenty of space to store your games as well as videos and music"

Nah.

Real life copy? :smile:

All of 4 days :laughing:

Nice find op, heat added :smiley:

Yes, I am aware there are console owners that do not own a PC, but that is not my point...exclusives DO help sell consoles including the underrated Wii U which saw a massive sales hike when Mario Kart 8 was launched. There are many PC gamers that buy consoles due to exclusives.
No, the main problem for Microsoft right now is LOSING developers and exclusives. After owning the two previous generations of Xbox I refuse to be bitten a third time.


I am far from saying that the PS4 has a great line up right now, there again neither has the Xbox One. As a gamer and not a fanboy I can see faults in all consoles.....I do however have far more faith in software development going forward in the PS4 as with the PS3 which also was underwhelming with titles for the first couple of years.

The reverse happens with the Xbox...always a promising start then the titles dry up, there was very little of exclusive interest in the 360 after Alan Wake was released which in itself was underwhelming, not surprisingly the same developer has just released another underwhelming game in 'Quantum Break'.

Bungie handed over the Halo franchise, Microsoft axe Lionsoft studios, created an abortion out of Rare and now that the flagship racing titles in Forza are going to the PC, many a avid racing gamer would prefer a decent PC rig with multi screens that the Xbox One cannot deliver.

I somehow feel the future is not bright for the Xbox One, and hence for the first time since the beginning of the millennium it is the only console I have not bought...if things do change and Microsoft get some exclusives and some decent games out of what remaining studios they have working for them left I may change my mind...until then I will happily keep playing on the few titles I have on my PS4 and the wealth of exclusives on the Wii U, whilst awaiting the brilliance of Naughty Dog releasing Uncharted 4 next month.

The Xbox One has been out over 2 years and MS are bringing some of their exclusives to PC, I doubt anyone who owns an Xbox One or is thinking of buying one will care if every game goes to PC it makes no difference to them as the vast majority of console owners either don't want to game on PC or simply can't afford to that's why they buy the console in the first place.

The more money MS make by releasing on both their platforms instead of just one the more they will have to invest in future games.

What PS4 exclusives are you currently playing ?, you only mentioned a game that's not even out yet .

Actually, things are not great for MS, and as a multi console owner from the past three gens of gaming this time around I am not about to buy into MS due to lack of exclusivity things are definitely bad for MS. The introduction of games for Windows 10 that were Xbox One 'exclusives' now means I can simply play them on my PC instead. Leaving the exclusives solely for my Wii U and PS4 because there will not be any emulators any time soon to play the likes of Mario Kart 8 and Uncharted 4.

I never made the comment to imply that it was, just saying that 500gb is woefully inadequate. I was commenting because not everyone is aware, even I was not for a good while of owning my PS4 that games were being installed and filling the HD.

As for not being expensive or difficult that depends on the end user. Not owning an Xbox One I am unsure of the internal (warranty voiding) change involved, but with the PS4 you would either need a backup of your current data to the cloud or external HD to start with and then download latest firmware to a USB stick in order to get past the boot menu in formatting the new hard disk and installing the OS. Relatively easy for the technically minded but not all.....and also bearing in mind that an external drive attached via USB can be used for media storage only.

Admittedly things are easier on the Xbox One because you can just simply add external storage and install games to it. This has its pros and cons, whilst being easier being plug and play choosing instead to replace the internal drive which still is possible would thus invalidate the warranty.

But with nearing sub £200 prices of both stocks of 500gb Xbox One's and PS4s it is most certainly worthy of factoring the disc install and the possibility of inconvenience or hard disk change that would increase the cost.

For me a sensible option was a 2TB external HD which you can generally buy cheaper and remove from the USB controller, although not all brands have detachable USB to SATA interfaces (soldered connector) so you have to be careful which brand you have....Seagate are good choices for this and what I used.

I'll wait until E3 2016. Too much Xbox deals at the moment, have to be smart and patient.

Hardly a fan boy actually but I'm not going to argue with kids like you

I was thinking of getting rid of my ps4 and getting an xbox one, was considering going to Game and asking how much of a trade in I would get, but may buy at this price and sell my ps4 on ebay.
Hot price

500gb is never enough if you have a healthy library of games whether you buy your media physically or digitally.

This is the same for both the PS4 and Xbox One because even if you do buy physical media both consoles have mandatory hard disk installs anyway.

Even at effectively under 200 for the console, I am not finding myself drawn to buying it for the limited number of exclusives it has (and with TR coming to PS4 this fall, it gets worse for MS!)

Good price though if you want one!

Yup i only play Fifa and looking on youtube at the difference between the two consoles playing this game is not enough for me to part with me dosh...

Hot!

Ordered, thanks OP

Good Lawd! It's hot in here! Heat added

Next gen console with 1 game for £218 sounds ok to me.

How large is the game? 45gb? 500gb in this digital age isn't enough, I am a fan of the "real life" physical copies myself but with GWG/ps+ and the odd cracking sale title, plus update files and DLC 500gb is munched away in no time.

I prefer buying digital from other regions for the savings, I just thought it should be made clear for people considering purchasing this as it wasn't originally in the deal post.

Except, from what I've read at least, one of the filings implies a model which does not use the One's existing manual and if that's the case then why would updating the wireless chip require that?

I don't know what 360 version those are. I am referring to my 360- It is the 4GB version and is larger lxhxw and is heavier as well.

Er..?

Heat, because any xb1 near the £200 is a bargain,.... then pop into your local CEX store and pick up Forza 5/6, Forza 2 horizon, and Gears ultimate, all for a song of the original price, and enjoy.

Never been a better time to enjoy some xb1 games, your wallet will love you for it. :smiley:

Ah, so there is a reason- I stand corrected:) I hope the "fat " model 500gb come to under £200 now. It is far too overpriced.

The FCC application is for an 802.11ac wireless chip which could simply mean that MS are updating their wireless chip from the current model.

There's a 1TB version for an extra £27 on ebay/Boss Deals (is that good for an extra 500gb??)

Why is there a need for a "slim" version. Te XB1 is very smaller relative 360 and ps4/ ps3

Good price.

It should play whatever you put on it cos it is recognised as part of the system hardware. The Xbox 360 is a different breed of tech " older " I have 2 xbox one's & it works for me on both.

Yes it will play all the games you want to install to external drives, up to 16 Terabytes worth.

Would i be able to play 360 version of Fifa 16 on this would anyone know please?

Bye this to go with the Xbox one it is recognised instantly & you will have another 2tb another 32 games to store cos the 500gb only holds about 8 games http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-Expansion-Portable-External-Drive/dp/B00TKFEE5S?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00

So jealous. I got this bundle as a pre-order from MS for £249 :disappointed: should've waited

Thought you're a digital fan?

Yes i have been thinking this , i only play Fifa on a 360 UT its graphics are fine for my gaming. Just thinking it may not be worth it for me until 360 stops supporting Fifa games

Even if a slim comes out in E3, which is completely unconfirmed and a rumor, there is also a possibility of a 4k Xbox One early next year and may come at a premium price.
If you wanna wait, you can wait but as with all electronic gadgets, you may wait forever :-P

Thanks op...so does anyone think this first gen of the Xbox One will likely go much lower than this? I keep hearing rumours of a slim version approaching, though wouldn't have thought it would drastically alter the price of the original models much more than this?

how many days

Good spot OP. Heat added

thx op

damn, that is very good deal. will snap if I don't own xbox one yet ☺

Gotta love a real life copy, I hope the xbox is real life and not digital, knowing these spanners currys they would probably send that if they could

1 x digital xbox one
1 x real life copy of quantum


Heat

Heat added :innocent:

Heat added, great price but I know there is going to be a slim announced at e3 in June. Wait or buy? Hmmmmm.

"With a 500 GB hard drive you've got plenty of space to store your games as well as videos and music"

Nah.

Super HOT Deal, even if you don't want the game. Just sell the game :smiley:

Nice find op, heat added :smiley:

Worth noting for people that might be hoping to trade it in after they've completed it in 10 hours!

Digital copy of the game or real life copy?

Oi had loads of work to do :man::laughing:

All of 4 days :laughing:
