Great price for the 1TB Elite console + Elite controller + a standard controller. Works out at £334 ish if you let Amazon do the conversion, less if you use a card that offers better currency exchange rates.
1. Add the console (make sure you buy from Amazon*)
2. Add the controller from this link:
* Some people seem to be getting confused - buy from Amazon doesn't just mean the Amazon website - you need to select 'Amazon.fr' from the sellers list, otherwise you will get the 'Don't deliver to UK' message.

So you choose a non Amazon seller who wont post to the UK. Then vote cold because you have made a basic error? This is despite earlier posts suggesting users choose the correct seller (i.e. Amazon) to avoid this error. Really?
Thank you OP. I have been looking for a deal since I missed a similar one a few months ago.

It has a Solid State Hybrid drive vs the standard Hard drive, the console has a matte finish and it comes with the Elite controller included.
I paid £400 for the console back in February, so this is a good deal. The controller alone is £120
Incorrect,
Amazon only have an obligation to replace within 30 days if its faulty,
If its faulty within the other 11 months then you have to contact Microsoft like i have just done.
Warranty is in the EU so buy it from France, Germany, Ireland etc all under the same law.
Ms only ask for the consoles serial number not proof of purchase as their system can tell if console is still under its warranty
Hope that helps :smiley:

Is this an EU plug? And how do you translate french to english? "/

It will be a European plug, just buy a kettle lead UK plug and you'll be up and running. I got mine from Amazon Germany last year. Waaaaay cheaper than any offer in the UK and exactly the same (apart from the plu). Even the manual and paperwork was all I'm English as the 1st language. Why anyone would buy a UK one for much more monies is baffling.

I have this bundle. I can't compare it to a standard Xbox One so I can't comment on if there is any real difference with the console. The controller however is fantastic. I've used nothing but PS controllers my whole life and this thing trumps them all. The rear paddles are revolutionary for me.

I notice you ignored my reply to you above, I presume because you know you are trolling about the referendum, and know it will not make the slightest bit of difference to this deal post June 23.
Even IF a vote to leave occurs, nothing tangible will change for AT LEAST two years.
But you know this, don't you?

I was concerned about my consumer rights if this develops a fault post June 23. I wasn't aware that nothing will happen for two years. Why two years?

I'm not going to go into details, there are too many. Simply put the process of 'separation' is a process that in the statute books takes two years, but in reality will take far longer.
Simply put, it will take at least two years to legally separate anything.

Did you select 'Amazon' as the seller? Third party marketplace sellers wont ship to the UK, but Amazon.fr themselves will. Make sure it's the one that clearly says 'Amazon.fr' under 'Informations sur le vendeur' - 389 Euros. Then add the controller, then use the code at checkout.

Think about how much has to be changed and actioned? Are they going to round up all non-uk nationals on one day and tell them to leave if they don't have a visa? The vote is for a decision. Then they will start the leaving process and as already mentioned this could take years to be finalised. A new target date for final day will then be announced and will likely keep slipping as more issues are found..

Awesome thanks for confirming that, i ordered one any way and figured i could find a power plug for £5 some where, so its just a basic standard kettle lead? As some kettle leads are figure of 8 and the xbox one is slightly different power cable?

please show us the law, because I'm fairly certain that is not the case. if sale of goods act applies (maybe not in same form as ordering from France) then the seller has to provide refund up to 6 months after sale for faulty goods, if they refuse it is the sellers responsibility to prove the item is not faulty. beyond 6 months, they still have to refund for faulty goods, but the buyer has to prove they are faulty. this is definitley the case if ordering from Amazon.CO.UK. It may differ if ordering from eu, however since there is usually more consumer protection not less for European countries I'm fairly sure this would still apply. any exit from the EU on June 23rd definitley will not have retroactive legislation, so any sale contracts will persist until they expire so it's a non issue.

If you're not desperate to have XONE now I would hold off until E3, they're likely going to announce a newer version of the console with improved processor/graphical capabilities.

I'm not a sparks but I have spent more than three quarters of my life flitting between the UK and Europe and I'm 43 now so I do have experience in UK-EU/EU-UK plug adaptors.
When it comes to travel adaptors there's a clue in the word 'travel' because they are a short term temporary solution for travelling abroad.
Yes we share the same voltage bla bla bla but if you're buying a household eletrical appliance from abroad for permanent use in the UK cut the Euro two pin off and connect the lead up to a replacement UK three pin.
Extended long term use of travel adaptors can cause safety issues and changing a plug is a dead easy job anyone can do which only take five minutes at most.

Yes I am aware when I bought my console. it's the same for my PS4...50% cheaper now than day 1. I'm not grumbling. it will be the same if the PS4K materialises...early adopters like me pay the premium. This deal is really good value for a premium XB1 package.
