This is the best Xbox One S deal for weeks, cheers

Well mine is fine and not read about this issue anywhere else??

great deal, but be prepared to lose your social life to minecraft

Arrived today. The xbox menu is a convoluted nightmare but the hardware is great!

It plays 4K blu-rays and streams 4K the games are not 4K only they have HDR in the one s! You can set it to upscale but most 4K TVs do that anyway but upscaling is not 4K it still 1080p or 720p just it won't be native 4K which has 4 times the amount of information and that's why the picture difference is so much better!

Upscaling is therefore a stopgap measure in the absence of true 4K players and content. Since 4K or “UltraHD” content provides four times the image information and detail as 1080P, the difference can be dramatic — especially when viewed on large screen sizes. These viewing scenarios are becoming increasingly common as television prices continuing to drop and technology advances. When true 4K content is available, not needing upscaling is ultimately the only way to achieve the clarity, realism and immersiveness made possible by 4K.

If you want 4K gaming you will have to either buy a pc or wait till the next Xbox at the end of this year comes out! (Project Scorpio) ☺️

Endless confusion about this. If (presumably) seasoned gamers don't get it, what hope does your average consumer - or parent buying for a child - have?

It absolutely can upscale games:

4k-on-xbox-one-s

The relevant bit being this:

4K upscaling

"When you set your console resolution to 4K UHD, everything on the console—Home, games, and apps—will display at 4K. 4K content is displayed in its native 4K resolution, and other content (like 1080p content) is upscaled to 4K."

Ordered. Was a choice between this or a second PS4 as I'm setting up a games room and want to move my 2tb ps4 in there but the boy loves minecraft. Now I will have a console in the living room for casual and exclusive games as well as a 4k bluray player.

Thanks for the post @kencol. Ordered!

Also the Xbox One S can play games in 4k upscaled with HDR and also play 4k movie discs, the original cannot do any of that.

Ordered and received!! Thanks! Best Xbox deal I've seen

roblox is better nubs

Seems like this is still the best Xbox One S deal out there at the moment??

Deal back on

just paid £220 for this from PC world
.

Having upgraded from a Xbox One to One S, the fan on my One S is buzzing so to speak. Where as my Xbox One was near on silent. Apparently there are some faulty fans out there on the One S see here

Minecraft comes as a download code.

Bought this just after xmas, and one for daughter before xmas. Took the second back as it's cheap and lightweight, cheap finish, cheap lightweight controller, 5 second delay from control to console when browsing Xbox home. Crashed losing gameplay a couple of times. Freezes. Daughter kept hers because she's young and doesn't mind. Original Xbox one (which we also have) is superior quality but obviously no 4K.

Just went in to John Lewis in Exeter and asked about price promise, showed them the offer from Simply games along with the web address, they told me (all three checkout staff),they had never heard of Simply games? and they didn't have a shop in Exeter high street, sorry,

I thought simply games offer free postage?

Very good price.
Got an Xbox One for my son for Xmas, which he plays in the dining room.
He's decided he'd like another one for his birthday so he can play in his bedroom when he feels like it.
At this price I'm very tempted, especially as he will be able to sell/trade in the Minecraft he also got at Xmas.
That said, need to check what the wifi signal is like in his bedroom, on his current Xbox before splashing out again!

Hot from me. This is the version I bought before Christmas but added an extra controller, Fifa 17 and Forza Horizon 3 for £250.99 all in

This has only dropped £5. Was £199.99 couple days ago. I opted to buy the 1tb One S with GOW 4 for £249 and 2 years warranty with John Lewis.

Dr_Bawbag
It wasn't connected over WiFi, I have 2 Xbox 360's and originally one xbox one all connected by cat 6 ethernet without any problems, but as soon as I got a "one s" it caused lots of problems including xbox live not connecting from one bedroom to another(have two accounts)but as soon as I bought an old xbox one everthing runs perfect again.
I put in a search for xbox one s problems and find lots of people having problems.
Thats why I say they are crap.

The "One S" is a pile of crap,I bought one just before Christmas and had more problems with it.
It struggled to connect to xbox live and when it did it regurly droped the connection,would not keep stable in parties.
I took it back in three days and got a refund and bought an older xbox one and it runs perfect.
Do research and you will find lots being sold off only a few weeks old as they are so bad.

Anywhere has the be better than very.co.uk! :confused:

A complete steal, i have the slim and the older big box xb1, and the slim is a very nice update to say the least.

I order one at a similar price back in black Friday from SG and they cancelled after a week with nothing in between. Similar complaints on their review page. The particular retailer is a no-go for me.

Yea thanks its resting in my basket at the moment as im in 2 minds about what to do lol

do you have to actually download the game or is it installed already or do you get an actual disc as not planning to have it hooked up to the net at all ?

Got mine from argos for 199 with the free blue controller, still sealed in the box as i want the 1tb, feels like im stuck with it after being scammed on paypal and dodgy **** on gumtree , might just give it to my nephews and buy the 1tb lol

Lazy question as Google has all the answers anyway: is the Xbox One hard drive easily upgradeable? 500GB will fill up faster than a 10p mobile game going hot on HUKD.

they are also on Ebay brand new for £189.99

​yeah... got really, really hot too

Even if you're not a gamer, the price is worth it for the 4K player alone! Heat!

My 's' is also solid, not one problem and it's so quiet. Love it

I take it you mean the java one? I find myself playing the Windows 10 one more now, just so the little one can connect on his tablet. Maybe one day they'll just be a single version :wink:

We have it on every format.. why would they want to play split screen when they can local LAN on each of their PC's? I play it on XB1 but even I can see the PC version is alot better..

Split screen on the same tele without the chance of dodgy's trying to groom them, is a massive plus. Start playing it yourself and see if they want to join in.

Would Amazon price match this? I have a £20 voucher burning a hole in my pocket.

Thanks fro sharing, can now?

Awww, I got one for my son for Xmas at £25 more. I guess it's still a great price as he's happy! x

Hot. Not Fifa/Forza.

Good price, heat added. Recently bought the 'Minecraft S', plus 3 months Live, and an additional controller from Currys/Pc World for 249.99.

Is it better to get this from John Lewis for warranty

​thank you, appreciate the reply, good to see the one has wifi

Nice sharing!!

We bought one after Christmas, kids still use their laptops for Minecraft, I wish we had never bought it...

I've been searching for a good deal and this sounds like the best one so far
although I'm torn between this or the 1tb version with gow from John Lewis

Good price.

Almost as good as the Black Friday Deal although it would need an additional Controller to beat it.. but Good Deal hot.

This is the best Xbox One S deal for weeks, cheers

Thanks. , almost paid £220 earlier. Don't believe you can buy console on it's own cheaper than this

Just wish they did the grey version with Minecraft. :disappointed:

So will wait for a decent deal on a grey one and will have to buy Minecraft separately.

Still hot from me though for people who want the white one.

I checked Tesco before I bought, they were about 219.

​Was that an S?

This was my bargain today http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xbox-one-500gb-console-quantum-break-bundle-149-99-tesco-free-c-c-2598152
