GAME price match on trade ins apparently so I've got a fat list of CEX trade-in values that I'm going to ask about matching. Then there's reward points etc. So seems the best deal for me when I'm having to trade stuff in. But seeing these deals makes me sad. Great for others though, been sharing them with my friends all week!

Fucking hell and I was tempted when it was £265 yesterday.
Is the Fifa 17 a download code?
Tempted to buy this and trade the games in (have a PS4 Pro on preorder) with mothers staff discount I think I can get this for around £167 without trading Fifa 17 in, judging on trade in prices on CEX.
Just use it as a 4k blu ray player
Edit. Just realised its mentioned above Fifa is a download code.

My word, what a deal. I think it's more expensive to buy a Wii U, haha.
Isn't there a £10 off code for Tesco if you spend more than £75? If so, that's £229!

There is a £25 off if you spend more than £150, which needs to be applied to get it at this price.

Mine was delivery only, but I think that's because the bundled Overwatch and FH3 said 'FREE Standard delivery (within 5 days)' which will hold up the order. No big deal, as FH3 UE already preordered, so not like I have to wait another week to play it.

That's a very good deal. I just got my Xbone a couple of weeks ago, an Elite 1tb console for £260. I'm not kicking myself, 500gb is too small when you're all digital and the Elite controller is a revelation.
Still, that is a very good deal. Jump in folks!

I seperated mine so Overwatch and FH3 will be delivered throughout the next week but I can pick up the console tomorrow after 3pm.

Aaaaaaaand I'm in!
Gonna sell Overwatch, FIFA and maybe Forza and catch up on a few games I've missed out on the last few years.
Shit wish I did this

Hmm, I'm tempted to trade in my old day one 500Gb console for this as selling the games (I already own Fifa 17 (thanks son) and Forza Horizon 3, it would not cost me a lot to (probably about £30) to get this.

For anyone ordering make sure you do split delivery. I didn't, just had to call and cancel and have it re-booked or I would have been waiting till next Friday.
Digital.
What's a good way of selling the code without getting scammed? Is ebay safe?

Wow.
Even without selling the Kinect + adapter and getting £30 per game you're basically getting an XB1S for a few £. I may have to jump on that too...
Fantastic price, but I just can't see myself buying an Xbox. It's not even a fanboy thing, I have a laptop that's a couple of years old that can still play recent games relatively well, although I don't have a lot of time to play games these days and the only game I'm bothered about on either console at the moment is Uncharted 4.
Still, I wouldn't knock anyone for taking them up on this offer.

I guess I need my head testing then.
Oh yeah!
Honestly don't think I can. Thanks for the pep though, folks!
To top if off I've got an insane backlog of games I'd better focus on. Might just wait for Scorpio.

I also bit, will need to see if someone will buy my OG Xbone.
May sell Overwatch too, as doesn't seem like my thing. How much does that go for nowadays?
Bit peeved I forgot to split delivery. But I can wait for that price.

Didn't work anyway. I cancelled and tried and it still just said delivery only.
As someone who went freelance this year I reccomend not doing it until you are up and running (from a revenue perspective). That way it will be a potential incentive rather than a potential distraction in your early days. I've found that it's been good to get into the habit of creating a reward/incentive structure for myself to keep me motivated through tougher times and days where I might have otherwise procrastinated.
If you do it that way you'll be surprised at how resourceful you can be quickly you reach the goal so that you can get one
But of course feel free to ignore my advice, I know you'll end up getting it now if you really want to. Us freelancers have a habit of ignoring other people's advice and doing things our own way... That's why we are freelancers.
Didn't see this - totally on board

I cancelled and tried again and it worked. It says 'delivery only' for the games but if you scroll up there's the option to collect the console itself.
Ori? Haven't played it yet (waiting for a scorpio to dive in) but I have heard amazing things from gaffers and friends.
ikr? Ordered the FIFA17 bundle with a second controller for 299€ which is kinda decent since I already have a stock of XO controllers and can just sell off both + game (~40+40+35 = 115 => 300-115 = 185 ballpark for the console) but this one is sure a next level deal haha.
