It's not, it's standing upright.

This is same price on Microsofts Store but they also do the White 500gb version with BF1 for £249.99

There is also a grey version of the console being released, but unfortunately that's a US only release :disappointed:

Just found this posted online about the BF1 game.

Great price but the console is hanging!

Ah, so it comes in black as well. That is a relief as I thought that it was just white.

If this was about £240 for the 500GB plus BF1 I might be tempted - if the loud clicking fan had been sorted but, alas, I think I will wait until they start putting a decent, quality silent fan in these things. Too many people complaining online about how noisy their Xbox S fan is.

I've been waiting for a non-white version other than the Gears edition, but not so sure on the green. Any news on other colours coming?

Great deal though, basically getting a free game.

Nice but prefer the black version

Ah, this is GREEN? Not black! Oh, sod that even if it had a silent fan. What a foul colour.

So, so far I have seen this in white, grey and green - all look awful. What on earth are Microsoft thinking?

Did they really have meetings where they all sat around a table and thought that these looked good?

Sounds like Battlefield are doing the 'PACK' thing again where you buy the initial game and then have to pay the same amount again, at least, to get the packs to allow you play all the game formats and maps.

Shame about the colour! Army green isn't going to look good in anybody's living room set up.

I guess it's an alright if you want a 4K Blu-ray player. Also I'm assuming it's in green, but either way that's an awful colour, looks like the colour of something you'd puke if you inhaled mustard gas, which I guess is thematic?

I think its also worth mentioning that i think you can get it for £199 if you trade in a selected console

Just a heads up that the white 500GB comes with the standard copy of the game, not the deluxe edition. May not matter to some, but just in case you missed it dude.

If this was white I might be tempted.

The colour and the game is terrible unfortunately.

I'll be canceling my Tesco preorder for this. Would rather have BF1 over FIFA

Thanks for that. I'm quite embarrassed to say I fell for the 'Only at GAME'....again :disappointed:

Tramped to cancel my fifa deal from amazon for this. I'm guessing it comes out in October as couldn't see the date on the site.

What about this edition

yuck

​dont forget £15 quidco from MS too

Wow that is a hideous thing!

​Precisely why I don't bother with pre order games. Better to wait a few month while the bugs are ironed out. Saves a few quid too on certain games.

I like the green.


I said it.

I feel better

anyone still playing bad company 2 online on 360? I'm really tempted to go back to that if people are playing it online

Mmmmm turd green

I think the green does look not too bad tbh, think I might get this instead of the FIFA bundle.

Release date is 13th October so you get early access to bf1 but you won't get the console until October.

As bf1 is mid October release I reckon they will make it available for others too; just like they've done with the cost of bf1 if you own earlier versions

How does the new controller S compare with the Elite controller?
Anyone used both?
I got the Elite console recently due to the price drops. Although I love the weight of the controller & the diamond grip. I find the paddles are a faff for my style of FPS play (i.e White knuckle grip) & I tend to just stick with the default thumsticks and settings after a bit of experimenting.
Nothing worse than pulling out your defibs by mistake in BF4 in a head to head encounter... Removes paddles!

Seeing as I can get the grip on the S controller alongside the additional benefits, I'd welcome anyones opinions on this.

Also, another vote for the Green here. I think it looks nicer than the white (the reason I went with the Elite).
White tech just gives me too many flashbacks to horriblle sounding Alba midi Hi-Fi's from the mid 80's...

Hoping the grey one comes to UK

how can i check what trade in deals they have on this bundle? and can i trade in more than 1 console at a time

Good price, but don't like either of those colours.

Thanks for the reply.
That's what I was afraid of. That & the fact that there will undoubtedly be an S style elite controller at some point which will combine the best of both.
How does the weight compare between the two? (seriously)
If it's similar, I can see myself going for this deal.
Overall, I'm failing to see the benefits of the Elite console bundle since getting it.
Don't get me started on BF4 on the One...
I transferred all of my stats for... unconfigurable Motion Blur!!!
Uh!

Don't be getting the scales out for my benefit. Just a guesstimate.

I have the 2tb s and it is really quiet. Nothing from the fan at all...

​me too! :smiley:

​me to reminds me of being high.

I am but unfortunately there aren't that many people playing it now. It's hard to find games with people playing.

I was really looking forward to BF1 as the later Battlefield games are all too fast and manic. After seeing gameplay it is far too fast for a WW1 game, a real shame.

Don't forget TCB on Microsoft store!

300 quid for an xbox? The 500gb One will be 150 with a couple games near xmas

£15 cash back from Quidco

Both look stunning but I am happy with my white 2tb. I love it in white and I love the Gears 4 limited one as well. MS knocking it out of the park with their special editions.

The standard X One doesn't have 4k blu ray, 4k streaming, HDR, built in power supply, the Bluetooth controller and this has a gorgeous form factor as well as the standard slim revisions like less power consumption.

Granted if you don't have a 4k tv and don't care about appearances a standard Xbox One for that price would be a brilliant deal.

Me, oddly enough. I was playing it about a month ago. People still play it. I managed to find games alright. I have a 360 that I take away on contract assignments. The nerdbox1 stays at home.

I was just about to hit the like button until i saw us only :disappointed:

​yeah it'd be awesome if they made it backwards compatible. I miss the total destruction you could do. Follow up games just didn't cut it.

​interesting might borrows cousin's 360 and buy the game again and see what comes up.

​interesting I might borrow cousin's 360 and buy bc2 again and see what comes up.

Need this to be released on Amazon. I have £210 worth of vouchers to use and I really want a non-whote version of the console to replace my busted Xbox One.

Well, I bought an "S" version controller and have just sold it. I thought it would be nice to have the updated controller with the additions, but, I felt it had some issues. The grip on the S model, to me, is rubbish. Once you've used the textured rubber grip on the elite (or the partial rubber grip on the Lunar White controller), it's just not a nice feeling. It's a very simple hard dotted plastic.
The other thing I disliked, was the Xbox button. Yes, the light is dimmer and better than the previous controllers, but, trying to double-tap it to bring up the side menu is frustrating as, it took a few goes before it worked. It's very hit and miss, and you have to be a bit more precise with how you press it. Another gripe, was the feel of the middle option/back buttons as, they made them tougher and stick out more. This is a very personal preference, but, I really liked the feel of them on the older controllers. The only other minor issue is (I may be wrong here), the sticks felt slightly stiffer than previous controllers. And btw, the Elite's sticks are beautifully smooth.

Apart from that, the shoulder buttons are pretty solid, the bluetooth ability is a nice addition for PC and the overall look is quite nice. Anyway, that's just my humble opinion!

Hmm.. Thanls op for tempting me to get this

One of my fav games, been wanting this to be available on the xb1 for a age now.

Ordered the Fifa 1tb for £280 from Tesco a few weeks ago, slightly annoyed that one doesn't come with the stand. especially when it's technically the same price.

Have a feeling I should wait till xmas for the better bundles.

update, canceled it

I pre-ordered the bundle from MS but I've never used them before so not sure what they're like if something goes wrong. Should I cancel the pre-order from MS and do it with Game instead? If any of you are pre-ordering, which company will you be using and why not the other?

Thanks!

The grey one looks awesome, shame its US only :disappointed:

Thanks, that's really detailed & helpful.
I agree about the grip on the Elite.
How do you find the weight of the S compares?
I've seen people lose their minds over the Elite like it's insanely heavy, but its only the weight of a decent mug of tea for Christs sake.
I was expecting it to be a house brick before I got it, but to me it just feels substantial. I'd be loath to change that.
I was probably the only person in the world that preferred "The Duke" on the original Xbox, as comically big as that looked. And I'm not just saying that for hardman points...

I went back to playing BC2 on the 360 really recently for a couple of nights, due to all the server issues on BF4.
Had no trouble finding a well populated game.
Same goes for BF4. I see it mentioned all the time that its a ghost town on last gen, but that's never been my experience. I play it pretty much nightly.
My only guess is that people aren't using the server browser.
Avoid going via quickmatch on the 360 & you're flying...

I prefer the grip on the elite but the s controller seems to have slightly less lag than the non Bluetooth controller. I never noticed it before but now I can't go back to the old style. I wonder if the new elites will be Bluetooth.

White battlefiled one is up for pre order now

Careful anakin, there's a storm grey coming :man:

It's it worth spending £300 when project Scorpio comes out next year? Plus even if they bring out a 4k game it won't technically but true 4k either.

First, if you use quidco, you get £15 in cashback by using the Microsoft store, making it £285. A small incentive? Otherwise, get the white one and it's £235 with the same Quidco cashback. And you could sell the game for a tidy sum to make it an even better deal.

As for Scorpio, if Phil Spencer talks about a true 4K experience, I'm willing to believe him. What he's been saying about a number of things seems to pan out these days. Also, 4K games don't have to have cutting edge graphics, so, there's that to think about, too.

Looks awesome. Love the olive green

Fair price for the console, but wow that colour is brutal.

That Master Chief greeen is pretty cool!

Perfect if you want a Stealth install on a Willys Jeep.

It will look awesome in the back of a 432 though. Wired up for exercise.

£50 more gets u a ps4 Pro.. Not about console vs console here but would only buy this if u seriously don't mind a much weaker console but instead want that uhd movie player..

Ignore that, I was on the wrong thread :smile:

I'am going to hand paint mine Taupe, to match our fireplace wall. i'am hoping there's still enough paint left in the tin. :smiley:

I wouldn't buy from game. Since they became virtually a monopoly they gave up any pretence of a competitive market or customer service, the prices are almost always £10 more expensive as other than a supermarket or cex there aren't any other high street gaming shops. I miss Gamestation (the friendly arm of Game)

Ive preordered BF1 digitally, but i want to buy this console, any one know how i can cancel the preorder??? (Google wasn't much help)

Go on to the Microsoft live chat and they'll do it there and then for you.

​I used xbox live support and simply told then I wanted to cancel digital download of battlefield 1 early edition so I could order this... I did say from xbox store but they happily cancelled game!

Thanks, does it matter it was a russian game pre order?

Never bought a game doing the overseas thing but it shouldn't make a difference which country you bought it from. Their terms and conditions say preorders can be cancelled if you contact them before release.

Is the release date wrong on the GAME website? As it is the 21st on there but on the MS Store it is the 13th.

Doesn't have the future map packs

Get that fffffff outta here.

Was tempted last night after seeing this "deluxe" version which turns out only has early enlister and a few worthless skins and the like.

Why would they not include the premium version with all future maps?

This sucks.

This deal is £199 at game if you trade in your original Xbone...

EA sells the Deluxe for £70. The version with Premium is £110. At that price, of course this package doesn't include the premium content.

But the deluxe is not worth £30 more than the standard version, that should be the premium price.
£110 is a disgrace.

Just seen the premium upgrade for £39.99 at game, if this is classed as software then quidco give 10% cashback.

So they're giving you £100 for your Xbox ?
Laughable.
Sell it on gumtree for £159

Honestly, I never noticed any difference when using it. And you're right, the Xbox One doesn't use bluetooth for its controllers. If you watch Ben Hecks teardown, you'll see it doesn't have a bluetooth controller inside for controllers, but a wifi module, instead. This may be wishful thinking.

I'd personally say that if Normal controller was a 1 and wired was a 10 this would be about 3/4 but then if you can't notice a difference when wired its all a bit pointless really.

The reason I said it might be wishful thinking, is due to usually playing on my PC gaming monitor with both old and new controllers. If I can't see the difference on a 1ms gaming monitor, I'd wager that the "S" controller doesn't have an advantage over the previous design. If it did, I have no doubt Microsoft would be plugging that till the cows come home. What a feature for gamers, right?

Anyway, if you still think it's better, make a slow motion video of both being used and compare the timing. That's the only true way of knowing. If it is faster, that would get you some great views on Youtube!

Can someone clear this up.... Microsoft Store has this releasing on Release date: 13/10/2016 with 3 to 5 day delivery & it seems GAME has it Release on 21/10/2016 with next day delivery & considering that Battlefield 1: Early Enlister Deluxe Edition game gives early access to the game on 18 October WTF would GAME have release date of the 21st!? Please can someone clarify as I have just cancelled my order at GAME & ordered from MS which is slightly dearer as GAME gives points towards future purchases approx. £7 worth I think for bundle.

Honestly I've been diligently chasing the same thing myself over the past week or so, as I have some GAME credit I would like to spend (can't use it for preorders, but can buy it on the day of release).

Emailed GAME to say 'look, Microsoft have listed it correctly, and here's the release date announcement showing the correct date. What you've listed doesn't make any sense, please explain'
Got a reply saying So I called MS to confirm with them if they are releasing on the 13th, they said yes... asked if they are supplying to other retailers to release on the same date, didn't get a clear answer and was too exasperated to press.

So went back to GAME and said as politely as I could 'please ask someone who can confirm it, tell them that it's not inconsequential, one of the biggest games of the year and you're releasing it more than a week late'
Different person replied but still got the same good for nothing "as far as I know" reply Seemed to me like they weren't gonna double check themselves no matter how much I pressed so figured I'm just wasting my time with stupid GAME, just gotta order from MS even if it costs more. :disappointed:

I spent all that time trying to find a simple truth and nobody at the other end is prepared to double check and confirm it...

p.s. here's the release date announcement which gives credence to MS' listing https://news.xbox.com/2016/09/12/xbox-one-s-battlefield-1-bundles/

Yeah basically, just the box, controller and leads for trade in.

Ok, I'm not going to compare the value of this to other bundles at the moment, but if you're looking for this one specifically I may have some good news. As if GAME's 8-day-late release ("as far as I know" ugh) wasn't bad enough, Microsoft sent me an email today with a new offer. I can't find it mentioned on the microsoft store itself (because it's a disgraceful mess of misinformation, listing the terms for some discount which is not visible and saying on one page that customised controller is available but not on the next) breathe... but I got an email saying (in short) that you can get £30 back in points (for use on XBL I guess) if you buy a new X1.
It took me a while to confirm how much 50k points is worth but here's the first party source: https://rewards.xbox.com/faq/ Scroll down to "Getting and using Rewards Credits" and then expand "What is the monetary value of Rewards Credits?" which reads "5,000 Rewards Credits are equal to £3."

Edit: I found the full terms and conditions, which is full of the usual completely unacceptable BS which we all have to accept because monopoloy power, ho! Also note that it says Select Rewards Gold members can receive the offer, and ambiguously it seems the Credits may be tied to the code... so I would not recommend speculatively buying and hoping you get the Credits if you didn't receive this email too. https://rewards.xbox.com/console-gold-upgrade-offer/terms-and-conditions/

Very tempted by this.
TCB £15 ends shortly.Cannot see the controllers being sold on their own like other limited editions which is a shame and also bear in mind if you make a warranty claim down the line you may end up with a different colour console or controller but that has not stopped me before with these editions, i think the Green looks well.Reminds me of the 360 Halo edition from many moons ago.
