    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.

    ah ok that's grand so thanks for that lads

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

    Was it sealed or had they popped off the seal on yours and put a new seal over it?

    Just throwing this out there but Ive a code for Forza 7 if anyone wants to swap for a code for Shadow of War? Or assassins creed origins?

    Not interested in anything else really.

    There’s a game swap thread: https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2055517897/95/#post105035154

    People might have alerts set up for posts in it so it may give you more chance of a swap

    Would you be interested in Rainbow Six Siege Code, 1 month Xbox Game Pass and 1 month EA access code?

    Sorry I only saw this now. I've actually got all of those currently. Thanks for the offer though. Appreciate it

    Would it be considered a bargain for the following:

    €310

    Xbox One S 1TB Console
    Assassin's Creed Origins (Digital Code)
    Dishonored 2 (Digital Code, possibly Boxed, not certain)
    Doom (Digital Code, possibly Boxed, not certain)
    Fallout 4 (Digital Code, possibly Boxed, not certain)
    Fifa 18 (Boxed)
    Forza Motorsport 7 - Standard Edition (Boxed)
    Dishonored 2 - Limited Edition (Boxed)
    Doom (Boxed)
    Fallout 4 - with Fallout 3 (Boxed)
    Dishonored 2 (Boxed)

    Some games are repeated, but they appeared to be on offer when combined with the console (like €6~ each), so thought they may be useful for reselling to recoup some costs.
    I can see that CEX would offer at a minimum 130 cash for all the games (if all are Boxed, and excluding Assassin's Creed since I think the purpose would be to keep that game), so that would knock the price down to 180.
    Could probably get more selling privately, but just going with minimum guaranteed prices from CEX.

    Or is it worth the hassle at all of upgrading from Xbox One to Xbox One S? (I have a old TV, not even 1080p, so I don't know would I get much out of it).

    enter some details(could be fake ones) on there and there's a good chance you'll get a code for a 1month ea access trial.(or even a full copy of BF2)

    Is that legit? Looks a bit like a data grab.

    It looks very suspicious, why wouldn't they run it off an Xbox website.

    Ah yes. I see it now. It looked odd without its originating page :)

    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.

    Mine was also cut, the two at the bottom.

    All those pack in games are download codes afaik. As in - if the box of the console has the game art on it (or its a sleeve around the console) then its a digital download.

    The only time I've seen people get physical games is if its a bundle that the store itself has put together.

    Website in the UK, and the price included delivery. Seems to be sold out now though, was available when I commented before. The site is https://www.shopto.net and is available through their bundles options.
    Specifically this bundle: Bundle Offer - Xbox One S 1TB Assassin's Creed

    I was asking if it was a code because some people prefer is for game sharing rather than an actual hard copy

    Look what I just got XD and i only downloaded the ea access trial today https://i.imgur.com/n5iJ68j.jpg

    That seemed to be a very generous giveaway. Few here won so if you average that out I'd say most who entered their details won stuff. I never bothered entering as I said I probably wouldn't win anything.

    Xbox one x Scorpio edition £449 and you can bundle in some games that work out reasonably priced
    Might need to use a parcel forwarding company like parcel motel or parcel wizard
