Found the peasant

Can get a bush TV for a fraction the price of a sony

Can get a Fiat for the fraction of the price of a Ferrari

Etc etc. Yawn.

I got one of these with the 179 xbox elite console deal at Tesco last month. It's nice but I personally wouldn't pay 100 quid for it. If I had I would have felt a bit disappointed. Obviously this is completely subjective and this is just my experience as a casual middle aged gamer.

£100 for some coloured lightbulbs
£145 for some AP cheesewire for the missus
and now an XBox controller for £99.99...

This site has turned me in to a madman

If you can get an elite controller for £25 let's see the post!

is this still on? no sign of the game deal on website and controller alone is priced at £119.99 :/ too late again, I'm guessing

​haha very good! Freudian slip! You could further argue 'it' is not the best word to use ie it leaves the underlying assumption the reader knows what 'it' is!:wink:

Same here bud, it's not difficult is it? I don't know why people find it so difficult.:wink:

Same here bud, it's not difficult is it, I don't know why people find so difficult,

I think grammar standards have taken a real nosedive since dawn of internet. Understandable but disappointing.

It's funny really, nobody cares about spelling any more (maybe it's an age thing), yet when I am unsure of a word I just go to our old friend Google.

Then I know how to spell that word forever...

Had it 2 days now..best pad I've ever used..

Managed to grab Dead Rising and the controller from Argos in Glasgow- the only copy available within god knows what distance! Quite pleased. Deal seems to have been amended on POS instore, now only Forza 3 and Gears

just used this £10 bonus deal with Argos and the Xbox One Elite Controller with Dead Rising 4 (inc for free). After selling the game for £26 & with this £10 bonus cashback it works out at £63.99!!! BARGAIN

Just want to ask / add to the conversation that this offer might be a good one to combine?
Another £10 off?!

£10 offer

​its Microsofts answer to the overpriced Scuf controller. if you arent bothered about things like paddles and trigger stops on your controller then I wouldnt recommend.

No, thats for digital only purchases I believe.

If I got this with Forza, would I get the PC code with it? If so, this is hot (if not, I guess it's hot, but I don't have an XBone)

No Dead Rising 4 near anyone I think.

Because Dead rising is £26 cash at CEX and all the other games you can get with it are £10. I'm not bother about the games just wanted to keep the cost down.

Yes I use 3 paddles, one on the left to run and two in the right which are generally to jump and crouch. It took a while for me to program my brain to use the extra paddles. :P

It's a terrible shame that those who took advantage of this decent offer are now giving the 'bullied at school' I know best brigade like pigmug and dudleygirl the last laugh with the revelations they're only receiving half their purchase.

I'm so glad I paid that wee bit more to get myself the GoW edition Elite from Game for my controller collection a couple of months ago. I really would be traumatised coming in here giving them dinlows a smug grin by piping up about how Argos have shafted me up the Harris sideways :disappointed:

Why chouse only a £25 game anyway, chouse Horizon 3 a £42 game.

Happen to me too mate. Just gone to collect it and when I ordered it said both in stock. Got to the desk and controller only. Left it as wanted the £26 for dead rising. No notification that it had been knock off.

No Dead Rising 4 near me.. :disappointed:

Wish I was good enough at FPS to justify one of these :smile:

OMG, tell me about it. Been struggling with that issue since I got the controller - I've been using it for some games on my laptop as that has Bluetooth, and some emulators on my Raspberry Pi 3 as even that has BT built in, but my desktop PC doesn't have it. Granted, I haven't built a new PC from scratch for a few years (just had incremental upgrades instead) so my Asus motherboard is on the older side, but it was top of the range when I bought it and still worth quite a bit second hand. It has built-in Wi-Fi which I've never used because I have powerline adapters, and for some reason I always thought that included BT, so after getting the Xbone controller I activated the built-in Wi-Fi, only to be bitterly disappointed. Took a look at the mobo's Wi-Fi and it's nothing more than a laptop-style mini PCI-E card inside a proprietary adapter. I have an old laptop with a BT Wi-Fi card lying around so I completely disassembled my PC to swap the card in the adapter, only to find that the BT still doesn't work - clearly the adapter doesn't have the pins to support it. I could put it in a PCI adapter but I don't want anything in the way of my graphics card's fans. The only other option is a USB adapter, which I'll probably go for, it's just a shame it will take up a USB port. It has got me looking for a new motherboard, possibly as the start of a whole new PC build, but it's ridiculous how few of them even today have something as simple as BT built-in. On the plus side, it's been a good excuse to get a Steam Link (as that has BT) and play some PC games in the living room!

So what you use to run with now ? one of the paddles ?

Still need a PC that has bluetooth thou, god my £1500 PC dont even have bluetooth, not many motherboards do, and i have one of the latest asus max boards.

Just a word of advice for anyone purchasing: It's really worthwhile adding the optional 3 year extended warranty. The bumper on mine broke 3 days outside the warranty period having had only casual/moderate use - look online and lots of people have had issues with the bumpers and grips falling off.

The controller is fantastic, particularly for FPS games, but there are known quality issues.

​I ordered with dead rising 4 - got no email or text to indicate any change with the order before finding out instore game had dropped off my order and after some debate with assistant and manager I just left it as no game in stock and little help from staff - why on earth stores can't simply order the game from another store or warehouses is beyond me. Appalling customer service and poor website from Argos - complaint email sent but that will probably just be a further waste of my time.

dead rising oos everywhere :disappointed:

Cheers. Marry Christmas to you and your kin:)

Well my camera doesnt need lenses, viewfinder, LCD screen or the mic changed with something that is third of the price of original equipment which came with it.
My camera is the best in the price range and for what it offers.
What can that controller with that amazing "free" game do?

​At least you used the right 'your' and 'their', something lacking in today's internet. Happy Xmas!

A lot of people in here on their high horse. The title of the thread describes the deal adequately, nobody needs other's opinions on what they should be paying for a product. If you were looking for one of these controllers then this is the best deal around- i.e. "Hot". If not, then why are you adding your opinion on the value or worth of a controller?! Suggest a better deal, some useful experience of the product or move along.....

I hope your controllers works alright and you`ll be able to pass them over to your children and they to their children and so on for a few generations.

It's what I was saying earlier in thread regarding the fact that everyone has one thing or several things they are prepared to spend silly money on.

Still not sure if to get 1 of these.

​dont give up the day job, I hate to be bearer of bad news but you don't have a future in comedy

And This one does?
People in glass house.:wink:

Does it clean your house, cook for you, can substitute your partner in times of need?

Because that's the price a controller should be.
- in your opinion.

No digging required, I was notified of this deal as I have Xbox alerts set up on the app and as I was scrolling down, I accidentally clicked your name and took me to your deal list.

Personally I don't require the elite controller and was looking at comments to see what people thought of them and the games, but just as most can see the value in spending more on an official controller, as you do, compared to a 3rd party cheapie, I can appreciate that some might value this. If it's not for you, then don't vote or comment on deals - you're the one who obviously hasn't enough to do on Christmas Day, as well as today.

Totally agree. These deals always turn into slanging matches and fanboy stuff.

Great controller great price and I'm picking mine up today!

​summed up nicely, I don't get the people whining. don't want to pay £100, fair enough, go buy the normal one!

Actually pretty good price,even at full price, for a premium pro gamer controller - I had a Scuf four trigger hybrid controller with Scuf grip finish, remappable triggers, blacked out buttons, and adjustable trigger stops for my 360, and that cost about £160 plus, four years ago. I totally loved that controller :smile:

Right now, the Infinty Premium from Scuf for Xbox One costs £135.96,and that's the sale price.

Given that, £100 for the Elite is pretty good, and if you get this deal with Dead Rising 4, it's a bargain price.

Obviously, if you're not the sort of player who plays a lot of FPS or twitch gaming, or you don't want to spend lots of money, then a premium controller is not for you. Stick to your £35 standard controller and be happy with it. For those of us who want the best controller available, premium products come with premium prices. So, hot vote from me.

You better watch IT!

As far as I knew sentences can end with question marks and exclamation marks along with full stops but you know best flower. Anyone who writes 'to' when she should be writing 'too' clearly knows her English better than me :smirk:

Will have to cancel and re-order!

There's some really poor quality trolls going on in this thread and on this page in particular. Please up the quality or don't bother at all.

10% cashback through Quidco on sales at Argos too making it even cheaper! :smiley:

Almost as overpriced as every xbox ever made! I'll stick to PS4 and stay digital!

LOL, productive boxing day digging for dirt, huh?

Yes, I once posted a deal for an official £30 controller. Because that's the price that a controller should be.

More money than sense(console owners). Think what amount of games and accessories you could get on a pc.

​the build quality is amazing, it just feels more robust and solid than the plasticky standard one, the customisation options are great for different types of games.

I get the debate about £100 being a bit steep, but it is an amazing gamepad, I'm glad I got one.

​must have been a duff, I'm closing in on first year, mines literally like new. .

​well I'm closing in on my first year, and its like new, wtf do you know, you don't own one you pauper

Didn't you once post a deal for a Wii pro controller - not £100, but 3 times the price of a 3rd party one?

This site has a lot of games clearly. Judging by the heat.
While it is a good deal I was rather underwhelmed by the elite controller I got when the elite bundle wasn't being cleared out everywhere. Ended up selling mine and going for the xbone s controller. In my opinion it is much better value. Especially for a PC casual gamer

genuine question. what's so special about these controllers?

£10 back with quidco

Sentences end with a full stop.

​wow... amazing quality. bought! .... not..... no way....

The deals not for you then, the heat speaks for itself fam

Best controller ever made! Paid £120 for just the controller and I have no regrets at all! This is a bargain and a must buy in my book!

i'm sure its the best deal for hardcore gamers - BUT we're not all hardcore gamers - certainly moderate / casual gamers would think that this is a rip off price and way off the ballpark that they'd pay for a controller ....... and they'd be right

Ordered for delivery tomorrow afternoon but on the website it says Forza Horizon 3 was cancelled from my order. Wouldn't have known if I didn't check since I didn't get an email and I assume it must be a mistake. Anyone else had something similar happen?

Oh you replied, blimey I'm flattered

It depends how you use it. I am still still on my original day one controller from 2013 and it still works perfectly. If the elite controller is a better build then there's no reason why it can't last 5 years in the right hands.

Another hater, who doesn't even have a working comma key!

you're off your tits if you think an elite controller will last 5 years, be lucky if you get a year out of it.

Anyone who refers to themselves as 'guy' is as good as a nailed on 24 carat bell, and with you ya then try acting sharp with it but you're an illiterate bell who can't even manage to put the second 'o' in too :smirk:

Except it's not over priced. Compared to controllers like Scuff, it's actually under priced. Use an Elite controller then go back to a regular one. It makes the regular controller feel like a piece of cheap plastic. Which is still a hell of a load better than the PS4 controller. I struggle to switch to FPS on the PS4 after playing on Xbox, mostly as the thumbsticks are in the wrong place.

Ultimately, you don't want to buy this don't. But why are you so anti-elite controller?

At least you understand this is overpriced, and you can't teach that

Not hating, just pointing out that this is a deals site and just because this isn't something you would buy doesn't mean it's a cold deal. Comparing it with a regular Xbox One controller is like comparing apples and oranges, or at least high quality top price apples with everyday apples. A free £40 game with a £100 controller is a good deal, even if you personally wouldn't pay £100 for a controller in the first place (I wouldn't either). But I'd still like to know where I could get a regular controller for £25; £35 seems to be the going rate.

Dead reading in stock nowhere! Any ideas if it will come into stock anytime soon?

Got me a couple haters

Yes, annoyingly - these were released about a year ago; the newer Xbox One controllers with Bluetooth were only released this August. Maybe they will make an Elite v2 with Bluetooth at some point, but for now they do require a wireless adapter, and there aren't any third party ones yet so you're stuck with the expensive official ones. I was tempted to get an Elite for my PC but managed to get a good deal on a Bluetooth one with a play and charge kit so I'm happy with that, especially as I've just got a Steam Link for £16!


Where can you even get a regular Xbox One controller for £25? But these are Elite controllers which retail at £100. Sure, not everyone is in the market for a £100 controller, but for those who are this is the best deal for one due to the free games being worth up to £40 (Dead Rising 4).

​Similar to what I did. Sold my 1tb console for this, basically paying around 20 quid to change. I wanted the faster hdd more than anything as the standard consoles internal drive is so incredibly slow.
I also wasn't saying the controller is bad, just I wouldn't spend 100 on it. The build quality is noticeably better but as to the better precision people rave on about I'm not sure I've noticed this. I've switched between the controllers during games to compare this claim and if there is a difference I'm just not good enough to notice.

£1,150,000 for a LaFerrari

it's not even road leagal

Oh yea its sold out

I got the same deal from Currys for 189, sold my previous Xbox one 500GB for 95 quid at CeX, effectively getting a new elite console with elite controller for less than 100 quid with new warranty (compared to my old console which had a moody drive and out of warranty). Couldn't get better than that.

Having used the elite controller, its worth good money but 99 is tad too much and agree with your opinion. Also, some games don't support the elite controller's customisation i.e. if you use the half RT settings, it just doesn't recognise that in some games.......

but yeah each to his own :smiley:

Even with a free game its just not worth it for a controller. A ltd edition gamecube wavebird maybe. Jesus i once paid the best part of £25 for a core grafx 2 controller it was in decent nick but it still hurt.

Which video ?????

When you say a work of art could you explain the difference between the elite and the regular controller...?

I fail to see £65 worth of difference if I'm honest....

Just saying...

​And what is the point of that?

Do you think it's worth it for non competitive gamers?

using this controller gives me orgasm while gaming!

Have one of these, got and Elite Xbox bundle from Game a few months ago (£200, traded old console for £120, so £80 for controller and 1TB hybrid drive). Was it worth it? For the amount I paid, just about. Premium feel and nice to be able to swap sticks, but I cant get on with the paddles so I leave them off. Just got a newer v3 model standard controller and to be honest, with the ability to connect via Bluetooth, I would recommend this over the Elite controller - especially for Windows gamers, as it connects to Windows 10 without the need for the adapter. The Bluetooth controllers can be had for £35 from Currys at the moment

All the people moaning about the price, this is a really good deal in my opinion. I bought it for 100 when it first came out which was a bargain considering the shortage. If you're a competitive gamer then these really do give you an edge. The quality us outstanding, feels really good in the hands. I personally can't use the original pads anymore because I'm so used to the paddles, sticks and hair triggers.

Heh, you're a hard man to please! Hope your pressies lived up to expectation!

Anyone know if this works well on windows 8?

Everything can be faulty and generally is but not always in mass numbers and these are not faulty is mass numbers.

Look at the reviews on many different sites and you will find most average 5 stars. There are very few bad reviews on build quality and being faulty.

Faults happen but the percentages are very small.

​Did you watch the video I posted. These things arent luxury... Bahahh

​it is if you want one not everyone is a cheapskate some people pay for luxury like there are people that always buy tesco finest pizza instead of the normal tesco pizza if your a gamer you will appreciate it.

£100 for a controller and a game? I literally LOL'd.

Just because this is the cheapest it can be found, doesn't mean it's a "deal".

Physical games.

Is it a physical game or download code?

£26 cash for Dead rising 4 at CEX and that makes its even a better deal. Still expensive but I have ordered one. Worth a shot I think.

Also in relation to that faults YouTube video like sBech said, if you google faults on most of the pro pads Scuff etc, you will find a load of people complaining about the build quality.


Good find. Heat added.

Cheers

These are not "play anywhere" games so if you're buying for PC they will not work!

add 16 thumb grips for the cost of 1.99 to get the 10 pound gift card for spending over 100 heat for that

​Whilst I agree with your sentiments, my LB button went after 10 months and I had to quote EU legislation to Micro$oft to get them to replace the controller as the thing only comes with a 'three month' guarantee! I'm hoping the new one gives me five years :smiley:

Dont let it put you off, if you googled faulty anything you can find videos of it! I have this controller and it is amazing for FPS games especially, the accuracy is WAY better than with the normal controller IMO. Each to their own tho, to be honest I couldnt say it is so good you need to spend twice the cost of a normal controller...

Hahaha. That's put me off and saved me a £100 and a game I didn't really want.

Why couldn't it be BF1 as one of the free games. :disappointed:

£100 just for a controller? The world's gone mad.

And if that wasn't enough it also doesn't carry audio unless you upgrade to Win 10

Just watch this for the quality of the elite controllers :laughing:

https://youtu.be/6Gzj0f9SrBs

What's so good about the elite controller? I don't even know how people can use these bought Xbox 360 once to play GOW that was not released on PC it's damn difficult to control.

can you still get the £10 argos giftcard for spending over £100???

The control pad is worth it for all the features and extras, I love mine. Not having to jam in the left stick to run is every fps is great and will prevent me getting sore thumbs/arthritis in the long term. :P

It's a luxury item but I'm worth it.

I have this and it's great. Swapping out parts with strong magnets is good and if like me you play FPS then having the rear paddles is great to keep thumbs on analog sticks which by the way come in three different heights and 2 dif shapes. These aren't gimmicks it's a professional controller. Like a scuff pad but more reliable.

Yep the Xbox controller is way better. It's that much better that the two premium PS4 controllers that have just been launched are very similar to the Xbox elite controller.

I don't understand the price of these game pads. It's ridiculous. I'd expect a 1080p screen or something gimmicky for a controller at this price

I have a PS4 and a gaming desktop I use my gears of war Xbox1 controller for the pc, the xbox controller is much better, build quality and miles better battery life.

Arghhh, annoying. I wanted Dead Rising but there are no copies near me. Thanks anyway OP!

PS does anyone with the control feel it makes racing games more precise, with the longer sticks? Just out of curiosity.

Quality controller, been using this for a fair while.

£100... for a controller...

​Are they different from normal pounds? :confused:

Or just buy a ps4, more powerful machine and a better controller to

£100 controller with 'free' game...

​Lol that was funny where's that deal?

​by all means let me know where I can get an elite for £25 new. I'll buy 2 as a spare is always good :smiley:

Got one for £70 a couple of weeks ago, I'll make sure I keep the box and packaging in mint condition and will probably be able to sell it for the same price next year.

Hundred quid for a controller, that's a deal is it

Hot. Thanks for the find. Ordered .

What jack has this got at the bottom? Like is it the older style or just headphone jack

No Dead Rising 4's anywhere near me :disappointed:

Nice find, thanks.

£100 for some coloured lightbulbs
£145 for some AP cheesewire for the missus
and now an XBox controller for £99.99...

This site has turned me in to a madman

Great deal, ordered thanks.

bargain ordered with forza 3 cheers :smile:

It wouldn't be the same without one.. :smiley: feed him it's Christmas!

I like this controller, didn't expect to but it's worth it if you like your gaming. Full price is a bit much. £80 is about right so this deal is HOT!

Can get a controller for 25 pound cold!

Thanks!

I got one of these with the 179 xbox elite console deal at Tesco last month. It's nice but I personally wouldn't pay 100 quid for it. If I had I would have felt a bit disappointed. Obviously this is completely subjective and this is just my experience as a casual middle aged gamer.

super hot op and great find!! have some heat! :smile:

Cex are giving £26 cash for dead rising 4 so if like me you're getting it just for the PC you can factor that into the price.

I see, no matter, thought it was Forza Horizon 3 for a minute and I had missed out lol - got Forza 6 anyway.

do these still require a dongle for PC?

Hot, was hoping this deal would come back, thanks to OP :laughing:

Bargain this. I already have one and can't trust my son with one to buy him one.

Already posted http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/christmas-day-headsup-bush-1400rpm-7kg-washing-machine-149-99-hitachi-48-inch-ultra-2584125?p=29640845

Anyone know if this is the same as black Friday and you can get the Forza download code for 1p?

The code for forza 6 for 1p on Black Friday was
616/9103 you won't find on website so will have to try instore

Hot deal :-)

Dead rising and Halo V options too.
