My gf got that deal in Gamestop, thing is when she got home the tape on the bottom of the box was already sliced, like it was opened, do I go back and ask for a new one, in case the codes are used or someone done a swap with their xbox?

Play safe and take it back

ForzaHorizon4

Xbox one S 1TB
Extra controller
Forza 7
Assassins creed Origins
Rainbow 6 Siege
COD WW2

€299

If I was to buy this deal and trade the console and extra controller towards the One X could I also trade my One S I have at home towards It?

Yes you could. I think you get €150+ 50% for the 1TB.

If you have two 1TB One S then you'll get around €450 trade against the X.

So to get an X, extra controller, Forza, R6S, COD, and ACO it'd cost you €350.

Sorry I can't reply as I'm a new user but does the 5% bonus apply on top of the 50 For Gamestop Plus? And do you know how much controllers trade in for?

I'd assume the 5% extra would. Not sure about the controller but probably between €15-€20?

ForzaHorizon4

No point trading it in then it's €33 in cex, I'm assuming it's the new 3.5mm one that comes with it. I doubt you would know but are all shops out of stock on the One X until the 20th?

If you haven't pre ordered in GameStop or smyths then you won't get one till then. You could try Teaco's on release day. That's were I got my Xbox One in 2013 after the sausages in Smyths gave my preorder to someone else.

Harvey Norman are advertising Xbox one x for €499 with forza
€25 cheaper than GameStop
Pre order available on the website, might be worth a look

Any idea how much trade in is being offered for Xbox one 500gb?

ForzaHorizon4

Do anyone know when the 50% bonus trade in ends on the One X and if the trade in values will decrease after launch on Tuesday?

Xbox one S 1Terra
Extra controller
Forza 7
Assassins creed Origins
Rainbow 6 Siege
COD WW2

All for €299!!!
Exceptional value.

Does anyone know if the 50% bonus trade in on an old console applies to this offer also, or is it only against the X?

Have a 500gb One S but might trade against this for the extra storage and games.

bought this myself, had been thinking about getting fifa on the xbox but ended up just getting it for my PS as I got a sweet deal on one.

couldn't turn this down though, looking forward to COD going back to WWII, always like the assassins creed games and this one looks to have gotten good reviews, I like rainbow six and ill either trade forza in depending what they offer or just keep it and mess around on it.

Trade on Forza in GS is €50 until tomorrow. Can get upto €75 using the 50% trade boost for preordering a game from the offer list in store.

just got this in the post, assassins creed and rainbow six are both download codes no disc, also the packaging had been opened as they have a second sticker over the original which had been cut, everything looks to be in order in the box so it looks as if they removed the games and replaced them with the download codes which is a little sneaky.

Xbox bundled games from Microsoft are always codes.

ah ok.... now I'm even more worried, would mind the games so much but the fact that its been opened now has me worried about the console itself, ill open it properly later when I'm home and we very careful to check for any signs the console has been touched.

It was a standard console, Microsoft made it a bundle, broke the seal, popped in the codes, resealed the box and put the slide over the box to show the bundle contents.

All bundles I have ever bought have been opened and resealed.

I have bought around 20 in the 3 months.

The reason is they take standard consoles, open them to put in the codes and then put a sleeve onto it of the game they have added. Making it a bundle.

Thats why you will find the AC sleeve displayed outside comes off completely revealing a standard Xbox One S box.

You sure that's how it works? My Forza one was sealed.
