​i bought a new car in April.
heat for this deal :stuck_out_tongue:

Wish they'd released the other colours at launch. Had to clean up pencil marks off my console the other day... kids...

PS4 Slim 500GB + FIFA 17 PS4 + Mafia III PS4 = £257.00
£257 - £64 = £193 for new PS4 Slim console if you sell those games to Cex for cash £32 each.

Well, the Xbox One compatibility is mentioned quite prominently on this page - http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/project-scorpio - I've also heard it reiterated in very public video interviews.

As for the HD audio, well, we've had this discussion before. For those interested, here's the factual information - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xbox-one-s-500gb-with-fifa-17-bundle-199-00-amazon-2516844?p=28833984 (post #405 if it doesn't load it) Long story short, HD audio works via LPCM, which isn't an issue for sound playback, at all. Nothing is altered and it sounds nigh-on the same as if playing via a bluray player performing the same LPCM playback of HD audio.

**** OFF NOOBSTER YOU MOTHER BITCH

battlefield 4.... things are better at the moment but you always get someone cheating

Can get it with Gears of war 4 instead for this price.
Makes me wish I'd waited and gotten the GoW4 deal in place of Forza, as ended up selling that straight away.

No longer on offer, now £301 with Forza, **** missed it.

No noise like that, although plenty of reports out there so it's hit and miss. I'd swap it.

Spoke to Amazon before on their chat. They are sending me a replacement one out.
And gave a prepaid label to send the other one back.
Fingers crossed its quiet one though.

That's what I thought but, doesn't want to show up when I put it in USB port 2, so was just hoping someone else could test it and see :smiley:.
It's not an issue now anyway as I've moved all the games from my 1TB hard drive onto the 2TB one by plugging one of them into the front but, in the future if I wanted to add another 2TB hard drive it would be an issue, as certainly doesnt look great with the cable trailing from the front for the hard drive.

​External hdd should work on any of the USB ports (from my understanding)

Quick question for those who got this and use an external USB.....
Does an external hard drive work on USB port 2 on the back, or just USB port 1?
My portable hard drive works fine on port 1 on the back and on the USB port at the front. But will not work on port 2 on the back - although the light on the hard drive does light up and it works for the plug and play kit so does work, just not with the hard drive.
Wondering if this is standard, or if mine's slightly faulty.

Thanks I'm trading in today so I will go there first!

Anyone who has recently purchased this how is the noise? When I'm just on home screen you can hear an annoying fan noise. Should I swap it? Bought from Amazon.

Remember game will price match CEX for cash plus 5% on boxed hardware!

My game stores will match even though there's no CEX within 1 mile.

forza 3 no longer on the offer has made this a deal breaker for me now.

aw well better luck next time getting my money.

Thanks for the help I got the deal

Forza out of stock now :disappointed:

Gaming laptops - eek. Been there, done that. Very unfruitful once they're outdated. As for servers/cheating - could you let us know what games you had issues with?

And the saving on a second controller is now £15 instead of £10, making the total £309 if you add both games and the controller, instead of £314.
Think I need to contact them and get a £5 refund :stuck_out_tongue:.

Scroll down the page to special offers and there will be three there. You need to add Forza and Mafia separately to the Fifa bundled Xbox One. Offer ends 16th Oct.

Deal seems to have ended? I only get the FIFA 17 bundle now?

Here is a video of someone taking the XBOX S fan apart in order to try and figure out what is causing the noise. He concludes that the noise is part of the normal operation of the fan. Basically, there is nothing you can do if your fan is noisy or it develops a noise issue days, weeks or months from now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4tLc6h-o2g

I had 2 gaming laptops and gave up on pc gaming, too many issues with servers (cheating, etc), having to deal with patches, etc...

I still have a desktop that can play most games on medium settings but I don't use it much...

i looked it up and that's the scorpio machine, which will be out in about 14 months. this is just a slim xbone which is no good, it renders games in 720p and up scales to 1080p.... not good

You need to add all the items to your basket separately.

Tesco no longer have stock of forza horizon 3

Is this still working? All it does is send me to a fifa bundle for 239?

eBay/ local Facebook pages/ gumtree?

It's nice to see they have added back old features such as the Auction House, no idea where that's been for all these years! - Might be something to do with me hacking it on the 360 and giving myself unlimited credits then gifting 250 GTO's to everyone on Forza 3 and 4. The amount of gamertags Turn10 banned of mine, i lost count

Forza used to be a necessity in my collection. But meh........ can take it or leave it now, not the game it once was.



What for 200 sheets? i doubt it

Tried the forza 3 demo. Looks pretty, first forza game and racing game I've played since need for speed porsche. I guess you need a proper steering wheel setup to appreciate it. Story mode seemed utterly ridiculous though, I can suspend my disbelief for GTA games, but it just felt forced too. I'm guessing people will be buying it solely for multiplayer.

​You can always buy a PC which guarantees 1080p 60fps :wink:

Well it upscales to 4k with HDR Gaming

329.99 from very in the gaming event leaving you £50 to pick up mafia

Yes, you can sell the download code on eBay.

The code wasn't added by the OP, that's one that HUKD has listed as a valid Tesco Direct code (it's for £10 off when you spend £40 on Home items)

Hi, is there any way of selling the Fifa game with this deal as it is a digital download and not a physical disk thanks.

Yes it is we are using one

Ordered earlier, collect tomorrow after 3pm :-) thanks for heads up

Just bought a red Gow controller so will sell all games for £90, £35 for white controller and get £110 for my day one launch Xbox one,

Dropped a 3 year old
Console and upgraded to a new slim one for less than £50 :-) may even get more than £110 for day one Xbox if sold locally

Facts are only facts when they come to fruition, at the moment they are just promises

Same here, I tried three times and the card was not authorised :/

Quantum !!!!! Your having a laugh,average at best,sold mine after 2 days.

Is this not same as old xbox one. Struggling with 1080p

So the very deal got less than 300 heat despite being the same price, although you essentially swaped forza for £50 cashback...

This site is weird.

Yes it is out now, this is one of the best offers you can get, if you think any of these games are not suitable for him you can always trade them in to cex or game.

I plan to buy this and trade in all 3 games which should net me around £96 meaning the Xbox One S only cost under £200

Is this also inshore?

Yes this is the new Xbox and it's out now, just make sure it's got the S on the end of the Xbox One name and you know you have the right model.
(The S stands for slim as it's smaller and has better features than the old model.)

Xbox One S

This is from an old mum I get confused trying to understand all the gaming things for my son
It's his birthday soon and I know he wants the new Xbox is it out now ?
Much appreciate any help.

​my Xbox one s has no clicking, only clicking is the annoyingly loud controller! seems to have got even worse than the launch version!

wish I could use my ps4 controller on it, as forza horizon is just amazing, says it all that the best racing game on ps4 is gta!

Yeap, fact's, got to love them, looking forward to the Scorpio myself, BC with both Xb1 and 360 game is a big win for me because i simply have too much invested to simply walk away from all that content, i am glad MS are now seeing this as the norm, i take my steam account with me when i upgrade my PC and i am now happy my Xbox stuff will do the same now, nice to say the least.

to be fair I have never been an early adopter of tech... but I am considering the PS4 as I don't really much online gaming these days. let the battle for my money begin.!

MS have a long series of failed promises behind them. I have worked with MS technology since 1987 and the amount of times I have learned very complex new server or software technologies which MS have hailed as the future, only for MS to lose interest and dump them a year or two down the line, finally turned me off MS a few years back. I should have wised up earlier on.

How is everyone's Zune? Windows Phone anyone?

I doubt that the hyped promises about Scorpio will be delivered.

They have a dilemma now as, if they are not careful, they could see a load of Xbox users jump ship to PS4.

The fan/clicking noise on the Xbox S is very sloppy - that sort of thing should not have been allowed in such an important product for MS but it just shows how poor the development of these things are at MS IMPO.

This or wait for Black Friday hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Just means selling my ps4 and all games.

Yep, this is me. Finally sold my Xbox 360 to CEX for £25 a month ago - not too bad considering that it was 10 years old. Only got rid of it because the two online games I am interested in - Doom and Battlefield 1 - are not available on Xbox 360.

But now I have no loyalty to either brand - just trying to work out which is the best deal for me between the Xbox S and the PS4. I was considering the Xbox S but the fan/clicking noise thing has put me off as has the download games bundled with them.

Because there is a lot of people who are still happy with the last generation of consoles and have yet to upgrade... Like me! We have a 360 and the family are happy with this however games are now drying up......Plus they have gone through most of the early adopters and will have clawed back the money spend developing the PS4 and Xbox 1

Well, the Xbox One compatibility is mentioned quite prominently on this page - http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/project-scorpio - I've also heard it reiterated in very public video interviews.

For those interested, here's the factual information - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xbox-one-s-500gb-with-fifa-17-bundle-199-00-amazon-2516844?p=28833984 (post #405 if it doesn't load it) Long story short, HD audio works via LPCM, which isn't an issue for sound playback, at all. Nothing is altered and it sounds nigh-on the same as if playing via a bluray player performing the same LPCM playback of HD audio.

I pestered them on the chat about the Sainsbury's -£20 deal for XB1+FIFA, if we all pester them on the chat and email maybe we will get RESULT?!

We will have to wait and see.

What they say now, and what happens are 2 different things.

Microsoft promised HD audio bitstreaming, which is why i bought an Xbox One at launch, still hasn't happened.

When PS Now was first talked about (before it was even called PS Now), they originally claimed you could play your PS3 Games on the PS4 for free by just putting the disc in the drive! didn't happen. shocker!

I doubt the scorpio will be fully backwards compatible, and the trade in will be for a pittance and probably not worth doing.

Oh and btw this is my opinion. Didn't state it as a fact

It's all speculation anyway, microsoft very rarely delivery on promises (not that sony are any better)

Scorpio is a dangled carrot so people don't abandon the weak and flagging XBox platform

I wish they offered PES 2017 bundles etc (for example), I always wonder what the price share is between the makers of the different games/console and how these marketing deals get decided. Anyone have any ideas/ information to help me?

Not quite as good as their 239 deal but stil la very good buy

for 239 I got console, overwatch origins edition, fifa 17 and forza horizon 3

sold the games for 110 so cost me 130 for the xbox

this is the closest I have seen since, fantastic, best current deal by far

I do wonder tho why the sudden price war? all of a sudden next gen consoles are all dirt cheap, why?

They are removing the headphone socket on the Scorpio, but if you drill a hole where it used to be, you guessed it, it's actually a PS3 beneath

Where do people get so much wrong info....Scorpio will be fully BC with all XB1 and all 360 titles that are supported via BC, plus on launch original XB1 owners will be able to trade in their original XB1 towards the cost of the Scorpio, plus all XB1 and 360 will be upscaled to 4k.
I mean it is not like this info has been hidden, it's all out there. Lol

Mafia III? Completed it mate.

Why isn't amazon MATCHING

Scorpio is a completely different console though, and bears no relevance to what is the better choice of console today.
there will also be a new PS4 after the Pro.

There is a reason why Microsoft are outdating the Xbox One so soon, it's been a failure as far as they're concerned and all your Xbox One games will likely no longer work with the Scorpio.

Great deal, id just got the very offer so that was slightly cheaper with the added bonus of pay next year but this definitely a great offer.

Thanks for the link.
I sold the 3 games within a few hours for £100 (after fees), so that's £180 for the console.
Definitely hot.

I'd prefer to buy this from Amazon aswell ​

Great deal

Look, I'm just waiting for the One S console to drop to £150. Is that too much to ask?

coming to £314 for me

Just gone for it and hope click & collect goes smoothly. on the card subject, I had to try 4 or 5 times to get my card to go through. definitely not an easy process as far as it went for me. Thanks op

Thanks for mentioning that one. I tried adding a few various other things and I'm now looking at the PS4 Slim 1TB + Fifa 17 + Mafia III + Extra DS4 controller for £317 on the Tesco site. Decisions decisions.

Mine did the exact same on a few deals of late with Tesco I just gave up, I myself tried 3 diff cards to the same response :/

Yeah i've gone for it, doubt there will be a deal like this for the Grey/Blue consoles any time soon. :smiley:

Which is the better online experience - the Xbox or the PS4? Which had more Brits playing on British servers?

I have played Xbox Live for several years but there seemed to be less Brits playing on it. I suppose far more PS4's have been sold so no doubt there are more people playing them.

XB1 Games with gold all work on XB1 amounting to 4 games a month, if you let your gold sub run out you still keep all the 360 GWG games forever, Back compat with a increasing library of xbox 360 on xb1 and it is free, new Slim model has 4k upscale and a UHD disc drive that will play 4k disc's, Play anytime crossbuy on xb1/PC.

PS4 PS+ give you 2 games for PS4, two for PS3 and two for PS Vita, no Back Compat between systems, Back Compat streaming is offered on a library of PS3 titles for a monthly subscription to PS now, Pspro offers 4K upscaling, no UHD drive in PS Pro, crossbuy with some PS4/PS3/Vita titles, once sub runs out all ps+ games become inaccessable.

Those are just some of the basic stuff without going in to XB1 and PS4 games offerings, but each person will find points that suit them more, some like me are happy to see their 360 collection come with them to the XB1 and to the upcoming Scorpio, some who are sitting with a PS4/3 and Ps vita will be in gaming overload with 3 systems all getting two free games every month, it is all swings and roundabounts really and it is what rock's your own boat with said systems. :wink:

​Everyone loves a show off :neutral_face: Role out the time machine... The model you got was chassic c not slim, so comparing this to your deal isn't really worth mentioning. OP has found themselves a great bundle.

Don't listen to everything you read on the internet :stuck_out_tongue:

It just varies per game, many games run the same on both platforms. If I'm not mistaken every PS4 and Xbox One game will be locked at the same frame rate and for the most part the same resolution as well, but each will obviously perform slightly differently. The one game I remember being 900p on Xbox One was Arkham Knight, while being 1080p on PS4.

If you wan't to read more about comparisons, Digital Foundry is probably a good place to go.

Trying to pay getting card not authorized, is anyone else? Nothing. Wrong with my card


So much easier using pp

at amazon Xbox One S FIFA 17 Bundle (500GB), Special Price £239.00

anyone know if you can pay with paypal?

What is all this 30FPS versus 60FPS? I have read so many conflicting reviews online. Some say that the PS4 does not do 60FPS but that the Xbox does.

Others say that the PS4 does full 1080P but that the Xbox only does 900P.

sainsbury doing xbox one s with fifa for 219...

Ps4 if you're just looking at gaming

​that deal has finished

​Personal preference really, Ps4 has sold more to date. When Ps4 comes out it will be the best console til Scorpio comes out. I used to say I perverse Ps4 more but I've been playing my Xbox a lot more recently.

​Yes the graphics on Ps4 and Xbone are not great. I opted to buy on Ps4 and friends opted xbone as I'm not that rich to buy on both... yet! Though it's still a good game.

what is considered the better console, xbox one or ps4?

^^^Click and collect is quicker for me too. If I order now it'll be at the store on Monday, delivery says by Friday.

I'm really tempted by this but feel that Black Friday may see some aggressive bundling, so waiting may be a better bet.

Heat added.

Click and collect if you can. Tesco direct use Hermes and yodel. Both are balls!!

That deal has ended.

Where's the Amazon price match ? Argos ?

If anyone's looking to flog Forza Horizon 3 please give me a shout or check out my FS/FT thread request :smiley:

No.

I was thinking what I'd do if they did use the markers. I think I'd just colour the rest of the console in

£229 without mafia on very with the 50 cash back, cheaper?

I have a PS4 1TB that is still in its box (bought for £155 new from amazon using the promotion last week)

Should I sell it and get this instead?

Very tempted to get this deal. Shame the 1TB model is £60 more though as I'd prefer to get that over a 500GB one.

For anyone who owns mafia 3 on console, are the graphics poor? Seen pc reviews and damn the graphics look horrible+ the blur everywhere!

Is this available in store???

Seriously, do not bother with the 500gb model. The size of the downloads on XB1 is massive and you'll fill it up in no time and have to fork out for an external HDD anyway. Go for 1TB minimum.

If you had a 4K true HDR TV with this! Wow gaming fun. Great selection of three very different games. All incredibly good fun. Bargain price. Buy a external hard drive with this and you're good to go for a long time. Well until the Scorpio comes out :wink:

Would've been awesome if instead of the **** Mafia 3 they'd give you Gears 4.
But then again it'd be worth it just for the masterpiece that is Forza Horizon 3.

This is a great offer im going to bite on this and buy it

I get the following message when applying the TDX-9KWN code:

"Sorry, offer not valid on this order. Please check that the items needed to meet the minimum spend show as ‘Sold by Tesco’ in your basket"

Well thanks a bloody bunch OP. Finally had to bite at this price as I really wanted all three games. Excellent deal for me so you've earnt my heat. My partner may disagree though.....

Thanks man.

I can't see how to get those three games with the bundle, can someone explain?

Daaaaamn. I really wanted to wait for gow4 bundle but this is tempting...

Does anyone want to buy my white xbone (previous)?

Good deal but lucky enough to get the Fifa bundle with Overwatch/Forza for 240 the other week. Heat added.

Got a £149 playstation recently and dont need an xbox but heat added!

PS4 Slim 500GB + FIFA 17 PS4 + Mafia III PS4 = £257.00
£257 - £64 = £193 for new PS4 Slim console if you sell those games to Cex for cash £32 each.
http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w363/a114112836/QQ20161008120803.png

Hmm Tesco had One S and FIFA for £199 so you're paying £80 for Mafia & Forza. A good deal at this moment in time but taking recent history into account, not great, just regular.

Not bad, but the Very deal was slightly better imo as it was the same price but came with forza and £50 cashback.

They will be £249.99 with one game, nowhere near as good as this

Very nice price, not massively sure I like the colour though :/

Might wait for the grey.

Don't worry, they will find the marker pens soon.

that's one hell of a deal

Wish they'd released the other colours at launch. Had to clean up pencil marks off my console the other day... kids...

good deal. Xbox has some good exclusives to play, gow4, forza horizon 3, quantum.

Xbox one not external compatible?

What a bargain

£120 worth of game's bargain
