Mine has turned up today, less than 24 hours after ordering. Already flogged Destiny 2 also!

Did you get Halo Wars 2 Matt Clarke? Did your first e-mail from Microsoft say 3 free games?

No I didn't, I just noticed it does say Forza PLUS three free games. It's only 3 INCLUDING FH2.

did you get the game from microsoft? i had this issue where they never sent halo wars 2, i called up and the gentleman offered to send me one out or if i prefered i could get a code (great as i game share with my son) i said id like the code then cheekily asked if he could give me the ultimate edition he said np happy days :smile: however i had to purchase it and they instantly refunded me dont ask me why it had to be done this way.

I never called them up as haven't had time but now you've said that I will do! So you got Gears of War, Destiny 2 and Halo Wars 2 right?
Thanks a lot mate for the advice, I'll call up the store and ask them about it tomorrow :-)

Yes that's right I got all 3.

Ok so at the time I ordered, the description said 3 free games and it listed Destiny 2, Gears of War 4 and Halo Wars 2. My order confirmation from Microsoft says 3 free games. Yet the dispatch e-mail says 2 free games and only shows Destiny 2 and Gears of War 4. Lets see what happens.
I'll be contacting Microsoft if I don't get my 3 free games! (excluding Forza+Addon).

are they trying to punt these ahead of the XBox One X being released?
JPS to fazzy-bhoy
26 Sep 17#14
I really don't think so, as the X is aimed at the top end of the market and the S is going to be around for the mainstream for a long time yet, as they will be selling both models side by side.

It's still not hard to imagine they're trying to shift as many as they can before then. They're going to be marketing the X as "the world's most powerful console." That means the S will obviously be weaker, and therefore a less attractive proposition.
JPS to schnide
26 Sep 17#30
Aren't they always trying to shift as many consoles are they can? :wink: I see what you are saying, but the X really is for the top maybe 10-20% of gamers. The S is the mainstream model which most people will buy. The S is still more than enough for most people.
schnide to JPS
26 Sep 17#32
The last two words of that sentence ("before then") were key! So before the X launches.
The launch is going to leave them in a very strange position. As you say, that new machine is for the top 10% at best - they aren't even going to sell that many. Not even close. But it's going to be a very high priced console and then at the other end, you have the S which is still leagues behind the PS4 and will almost certainly stay that way.

What are you on about? If you don't think the deal's any good, vote cold and move on. Your attempt to surreptitiously bash the XBOX brand is as obvious as it is tedious.
schnide to Tarquin8484
27 Sep 17#37
How was that surreptitious? I gave the state of the market as I see it. I wasn't hiding anything.
Do you want to come back with an argument as to why you disagree with what I said?
If you don't, you're leaping to the defence of a company's brand without any justification which risks you looking like the fanboy I think you're accusing me of being. Not least because you're saying no-one's allowed to post if it isn't a positive comment (which is, frankly, ridiculous as you'd agree in any rational state of mind).

i suspect it wil lbe the same deal as with the ps4 pro and vanilla ps4....... room in the market for both (esp when you look at the prices of the core console... its practically £100 now if you consider the games bundles)
no way MS will pull the xbox1 S.... the X is way to expensive to be mainstream any time soon. (smashing piece of kit tho)

I like how they are offering the "Xbox 60 Day Guarantee" as I picked mine up from Tesco yesterday and it's making the most incredibly annoying humming/buzzing sound from the fan. Apparently a common problem, but not one I am willing to put up with - can hear it over low music and that's with surround sound! Apparently pot luck if you get one like this or not. Sending it back.

You should. They are practically silent normally. I've never heard mine in our living room and it's not a big room.

I bought an Xbox One S model bundled with Gears 4 that also had the annoying buzz noise from the fan. Like you said its audible even over low music. You don't think all these bundles are the ones with this cheap faulty fans they are trying to offload? I heard the Fifa 17 bundles were prone to having buzzing fans too. Is it coincidence? Mmmmm.

OP you might want to add it comes with halo wars 2 also

You mean instead? No Destiny 2 appearing on my Microsoft page :disappointed:

Title says "Destiny 2" Microsoft says "Halo Wars 2"...what?

Tesco deal is £219 but comes with extra controller worth £50 and £15 Xbox Live card.
CubaCat to Rastafari
26 Sep 17#13
I don't think it comes with an *extra* controller on the Tesco deal, just a controller. So similar offer to this except the Xbox live is for 3 months with Tesco, as opposed to 14 days with this.
JPS to CubaCat
26 Sep 17#15
It does come with an extra controller. One with the Xbox and then another extra one that you can choose - black or white.
CubaCat to JPS
26 Sep 17#21
Does it? The sales page isn't that clear. That's pretty good then. My son would love an Xbox for Christmas, just wondering if the prices will drop any further around Black Friday...

My understanding is that the S will become the base model anyway. They have stopped producing the Xbox One (none S / X version) in the US.

Also includes Halo Wars 2 if you look at the description on web page :-)

Cheers for the reply JPS, went for the Currys one for £208 with Fifa Ronaldo edition instead.

Wow - this is better than the Tesco deal! Heat added :smile:
Wait - the way I interpret the listing on Microsoft website is that it comes with an extra controller too or is that wrong?! Bit cheeky listing it as a separate item otherwise?!
