I was too slow yesterday to make it to Argos on the way home, so went this morning and got a bonus £10 voucher - happy days :smiley:

Procrastinating pays off!!

My reservation runs out tomorrow... I'm kinda torn between

Thanks for the reply. My reservation runs out tomorrow (which i'll have to travel to pick up)... I'm kinda torn between this, holding out for a deal on an 'S' bundle or admitting to myself that i'll probably never use it.

Nothing to worry about there. The controllers use a wifi type protocol, so it should travel a fair distance. I've used it in an opposite room before (behind walls) and it was fine, no drops, etc.

Doesn't need line of sight but the Xbox one S might be slightly better for the range you may need. This is the range specs for the standard Xbox one pads and a possible solution for disconnects: from this post. http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/wireless-controller-disconnects

Solution 5: Remove objects that are between the wireless controller and the console

The wireless controller works within 19 feet (6 m) of your console. However, objects placed between the wireless controller and the console might reduce this range. In addition, objects that use wireless technology (for example, cell phones) can interfere with your wireless controller. Remove or relocate the following objects or wireless devices that might interfere with the wireless controller or console:

Laptops
Microwave ovens
Cordless phones
Wireless routers
Metal dividers, shelving units, or doors on an entertainment center cabinet

No, game pads

Yeah, gone up to a crazy £359 now. Gotta put the prices up for them to drop them again on Black Friday weekend - we gotta get a good deal right?...?

You talking about kinect ?

Do you mean for remote controls?

I picked one up earlier at Game but selling out fast!
Worth going instore to see if there are any still out there!

Well, the price is still £209.99 for me. Still, £349 was the original retail pricing of the Elite console, no game included. So, if it did go back up, that would make sense. However, they were £300 in most places for a long time. Anyway, there's no guarantee that they still have much stock left for Black Friday at this point.

Expired it's now £359

Yeah just paid and reserved also. . .

This should be unexpired, more stock around now. Just reserved one locally to me, and also theres also plenty around London

​That is a really poor SSD drive used for comparison. Incredibly slow, in fact most reviews state it's the slowest modern TLC based SSD available. No wonder the sshd could almost perform the same. A decent SSD is actually a big improvement over a standard and hybrid drive and there are many reviews to prove so.

got my one, but its making a small clicking noise, which is annoying, also I had to take the extra buttons off the controller,
still its a new 1T Xbox with a very nice controller.

Seems to be out of stock everywhere...

I picked this up today.. I don't know whether I'd rather opt for an s! So I still haven't opened!

Still 199 at tesco and in stock. Division is 12 quid on cd keys. Not as good as the original 179 price or the 189 currys price or then this deal but probably the best out there at the moment.​

Just missed out rhoward37 and rhysverrill but hopefully they get reduced again. Thanks for the heads up though it's much appreciated.

this thread should be closed, for days now it hasn't got any stock available for home delivery

Looks like the only store in the North East with any left I can see is Hexham, fantastic controller!

I picked mine up yesterday, there are still some out there!

I placed a reservation today and picking up tomorrow, it isn't an online exclusive so should stay.

Really impressed with the controller I have been using it with my PC. Bought the £200 XB1 Elite from GAME. Solid the Xbox on it's own for £165. Then sold the XB1 controller I was using with the PC for £25 so it works out I paid £10 for the controller.

This is my quandary...I'm all portable gaming now as it's the only way it fits in, realistically I might get to play this three to four hours a week...maybe. Still tempted...

Still got a reservation...
Still wrestling with it...

Would i use it....

Yes, they will do the deal, I've done the same, reserved just the console and when went to collect, added the game in the deal.

Ultimately with the Scorpio around the corner, I think I'll just hold off until we see some more of that.

​This worked for me, no problems. Elite & game = sub£200 :wink:

The Xbox one S has slightly better specs but its only slighlty faster than the standard xbox, on the other hand remember that the Elite actually has a hybrid SSD/HDD drive where as the Xbox S has a standard SATA III drive so the elite is a lot faster at booting/loading games etc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTRnQ3YetI0

If you don't have a 4K telly I would say the elite is the best of the bunch to be honest due to the hybrid drive making it run that bit faster

Considering the elite controller alone is over £100, this deal is fantastic. You get a great deal with the controller, but then there's the Xbox One S just come out with better specs, though. Swings and roundabouts really...

Picked up the elite with 3 months membership don't really want the division paid £208 elite controller looks sick

Perhaps i could have been clearer. You are right, using the xbox one s everything fed to the tv will be 4k regardless of source resolution. I meant the level of improvement you can see from the one s over a standard xbox one or other 1080p source like ps4 will depend on how well your tv upscaled your standard xbox one, hence how well your tv scaler upscaled your xbox one will determine how much improvement you see from the one s.

Is the controller range on the S that much better than the Elite?

My console would be in a media storeroom outside the room id be playing it in.

It would be hooked upto an amp and Projector. Its a pretty tidy setup in terms of neatness

I thought the S handled the upscaling, therefore pumping 4k def (granted from a 1080 source) down the HDMI cable to the TV, therefore the TV scaler doesn't come in to it. The standard xbox and elite will just send 1080 down the cable, which will need to be dealt with by the built in scaler and will therefore greatly in quality.

I could be completely wrong, thats just what I was lead to believe.

yes all xbox one controllers work

game actually done this deal for me today and after I'd price matches the trade on for my sons AW 1TB edition and his old 360 along with 2 games I actually only had to pay £1 so winner considering he wanted the elite controller for Xmas he got a whole new system instead. great for anyone who wants to trade in the older system.

Just remember they dont give you a voucher for spending online only instore. Found that out after my phone arrived with no £10 :disappointed:

​yes, just used mine for the game, picked up my console last night

Yes it will.

Buy one don't open it and wait to see what's around on Black Friday. If there's a more interesting deal then return this for a refund under the Argos 30 day money back guarantee, if not open and enjoy, happy days :wink:

Get this if you want this version with the controller in a few days these will be gone!

Do I get this now, or wait until Black Friday?

Can anyone give me some advice?...I bought this today for my son however he will want some additional controllers to play with friends, will a standard x box one controller work with this console? Ancient non gaming mother here :wink:

Ordered Witney in Oxford for collection tomorrow. Same idea as most here, in that I will probably sell my old xbox360, The Division, and the Elite Controller, then buy a standard controller and enjoy being updated with a new system and warranty for a very reasonable cost.

Do I play my PS4 much? No.
Why buy another Console? Because Hotukdeals made me!

Great deal. I was tempted to sell my old 500GB version. Bought this Elite bundle and paid via PayPal but then changed mind (canceled order by going to my account at Argos and got instant refund). I guess its worth to wait for better price on S when Scorpio comes out next year.

Did they not do an XBOX One S Elite?

It's exactly the same process?

Just got one of these ordered. My thinking is sell the pad (bought one on the BF1 deal 2 weeks ago) for around £90. Just provisionally sold my day one xbox one for £120. The division is going to my nephew for xmas, and the £10 voucher has bought one of the kids xmas presents. So all in I have made a tenner, cleared a couple of xmas presents, and got a newer xbox one, with double the space and it's hybrid SSD over my old one. Added bonus of full warranty again.

Does anybody know how hard it is to replace elite's hardrive?

I agree, this stock will be a distant memory come black friday

Reserved mine (will pay on collection), but only the console is available to collect today. The Division I have to collect on Sunday. My confirmation email says £199.99 is what I have to pay instore today, so I'm hoping that I can collect the £10 voucher and then use that to pay for the game on Sunday. Ergo; I'll get the game for free.
Can anyone confirm whether this will work?

these will be sold out come black friday pretty sure stock will be gone

Am I being stupid, how do you get the division as part of the deal?

I'll take it if still available?

not yet as got it on way to work this morning.

Have you fired up the elite yet? Worth the upgrade?

all gone round me , need another deal

all gone round me, need another deal

sold my xbox one 500gb to a neighbour for £140 and bought the elite. didnt biother with the division as it doesnt interest me. so Im happy.

If anyone needs a reservation for the elie (no game) £199 theres one for dudley high street that expires today, or bilston town that expires tomorrow, send me a message and ill send the reservation number. Managed to reserve one closer to work this morning.

£101 at CEX if boxed £95 without.

Anyone want an Argos click and collect code for an Elite console £199 (but no extra game) from Middlebrook Bolton? expires the end of today.
Decided against swapping my 6 month old Xbox One, after selling the console and controller to CEX I'd still be parting with £100 for an Elite controller and extra 500gb disk space (I know its a hybridSSD but not really bothered) but losing a controller in the sale so don't really think its worth it as an impulse buy. Going to spend the money on an external USB drive instead for my existing One.

I tried Online chat but no luck ... I can always return it as it's still in the box...

Anybody know roughly what I'd get for a standard 500gb xbox? Tempted to upgrade!

So many consoles/controllers on eBay wowsers!

No. The S model was updated with a 4K bluray player. The older models play FullHD blurays.

can this play 4k discs like movies?

Got this deal reserved but wrestling with myself as to whether i need or id use it.

i love the feel of elite controller ,however i think the paddles and such are beyond a gamer like myself .dont seem to serve a purpose on survival horror games .think ill sell it and get a midnight blue one or whatever they are called.

Surely ANY 4K telly is already upscaling the picture anyway?

If they weren't then your 1080p PS4 input would just appear on a quarter of the screen...

Good find Heat added

I picked this up today and not really that fussed about the elite controller so will flog is on fleabay and buy a standard one for bout £30 reckon I could clear £30-50 quid back to bring the console cost down.

Brilliant answer thanks for taking the time really appreciate the insight

sorry, the lady in argos today saying they could honor the voucher from yesterdays spend,its worth a try?

Now they give the voucher :-( I bought the elite one yesterday grrr

What is the return policy? In case I buy and change my mind? Suppose I cannot open it and then return...

still good price :smiley: heat added

The only way to get true native 4K is from UHD Blurays or by watching 4K material on Netflix, Youtube and Amazon Video (though I'm not 100% sure if they have updated Amazon Video for 4K yet).

Games will be upscaled, which will not look as good as native 4K, but are said to look anywhere from a tiny bit to significantly better depending how good or bad the scaler in your TV is. I only have a very cheap 4K set (Digihome), which one would expect to have a pretty lousy scaler in it, though to be honest I don't find that games look massively better upscaled on the Xbox One S. I think there is perhaps a modest improvement, perhaps a little tiny bit less alisasing on sharp lines, if you really, really look for it.

Quite a cool feature is that the Xbox One S will also upscale anything you connect to the HDMI input. I have been trying it on a standard PS4 after seeing someone called MrUpscaler on Youtube raving about it. Again any improvement I find to be very slight IME but some people might notice it more than others….

UHD dvd playback

Is the 4k thing only relevent in relation to UHD dvd playback or do games play at 4k with the xbox one s?

posting not right ,its xbo 1tb elite bundle and the division for 10.00 ??

For a cheap way to get an elite controller this is a great deal.
Don't see the benefit in a £100 controller myself but for a way to get a cheap 1tb Console this is great.
Currys are doing the console and controller for £189 with a game.

Would you guys recommend an elite over a xbox one s?

Have some heat

Bought this to replace my 500gb machine, no idea who's gonna buy it lol! but was too good a deal! bigger hard drive, the Elite controller, the Division, new 12 month warranty if I can get about £120 for my current machine I will be delighted.

​I bought one yesterday from tesco to replace my existing standard 1tb one. Changed my mind and tried to cancel, couldn't cancel and now I'm pleased as it works out very very cheap after selling my 1tb machine.

Ive just bought console only for £199 would they do the bundle game i haven't picked it up yet have paid though!!

I was too slow yesterday to make it to Argos on the way home, so went this morning and got a bonus £10 voucher - happy days :smiley:

Procrastinating pays off!!

Hotttt! Had to bite, been after an elite controller for some time and this is just to cheap to turn from. Maybe it will be cheaper come Black Friday but these might be OTT!!!

Seems like a great way to get an elite controller seriously cheaply.

£199.99 now

You'd best buy a spare TV, Sofa and Router while you are at it.

​Ah missed that, even so with an elite controller this is a great deal. Tempted to buy & keep the console as a back up

damn these are good deals. can't see how black Friday will beat these deals. must resist. I'm hoping for xbox s deal soon

If you don't plan on buying anything else from Argos it's £189 for the console from currys and £14 for the division, using Facebook code, from cdkeys.com. £203, no voucher but no need to buy anything else from Argos.

Good value especially with a 1tb ssd

Heat added OP.. Good Spot :smiley:
