You don't have to buy it. But it offers value that justifies the price to some. It's comparable to why someone might buy a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge instead of a cheaper £100 Galaxy model. Personal preference and specs

Wait, you've just made your Deal even worse.
£95 for the controller.
£99 for controller and forza 3.
Sell forza 3 for £19 cash @cex or £20 game. making it £15/16 saving over your Deal.

Personally I don't have an Xbox so I'd be buying it for my PC and won't need the game. I get that you could offload the game at CEX though, but I can't be bothered

got mine Monday from argos with horizon 3 sold horizon 3 for £20 so I basically paid £79.99 for it cracking deal from argos. by the way it's the best controller I've used and I've been playing games for 36 years.

Made it worse? What I said is public knowledge. The price difference is there but some people aren't close to CEX, can't bother to go through the effort, can get the Amazon item delivered faster with prime etc. and for them this is a good deal. It's likely not as good as the £99.99 Argos one but does that make it not worth sharing?

Got this & battlefield 1 from Argos on bf1 release date for £104.99 (+£10 voucher), was going to buy game anyway so controller worked out about £50. Great controller.

I'm just not understanding how this being a money saving site and your reasons to pay more is "I can't be bothered to save money." It's your choice, but that doesn't make it an appealing deal.
Argos is click and collect, the 8 stores around me had both Forza 3 and the controller in stock for instant collection.
That beats Amazon prime for collection/delivery. Local store is open till 6pm and 2 other stores are open till 8pm. The rest I'm unsure their times.
No cex or Game around you. Ebay the game off for roughly £25+.

Collecting an item from Argos and selling something on ebay take time, for some people the amount of time it takes is simply not worth doing for maybe £20 in their pocket.

It may take a few days to sell on but it's hardly any effort is it. Stick it on gumtree and wait for a text. The only way this deal is better is if you only have £95 but then again if you spend all your money on a pad then you need your head checked. This is a great price for a quality pad, but this deal is cold due to the argos deal.
Edit: Why would anyone be on this site if they don't want to put £20 back in their pocket? People go through Quidco & TCB for pennies.

I see that you aren't one for saving money.
Buy the bundle of argos.
Go to game and price match for £20 with forza.
Go to cex and get £19 cash
Send to cex via post and get £19
Sell on eBay for around £25+ (just seen 2 copies go for £28 with £2.20 post).
None of these options above are such a hassle that I'd be like "it's just £20, I'll leave it."
But then again, for me, argos is about 9 shops away from Cex.
