Anyway, can anyone who has bought one in the last few weeks tell me if there is still a large update on initial startup? Have poor internet speeds where I am so would take it somewhere else if there's an update.

Cheers.

There was a system update once I connected to my network. I have a 4Mb package, didn't take too long though.

I got the 1TB plus Rare Replay and Jurassic World and €20 of vouchers in Argos Childers Road last Thursday. Used vouchers on Sunset Overdrive, very good game.

Been keeping an eye on the Argos prices with the intention of buying in next two weeks but when I saw that MGS was being thrown in I went for it but none available in the three Limerick stores.

Nearest one is Clonmel so booked it just in case and have to pick up tomorrow but they won't have MGS until next week. Awkward but worth it. Price for the bundle actually gone up a tenner today.

Sounds grand so. I had one day one which had a 9gb update iirc. Will still have to download Destiny and all the DLCs anyway which is close to 50gb.

I went for the Gears bundle which has the 500gb console. Very few left availBle in Argos anywhere in the country so worth the one hour drive.

Got it on Miskys recommendation last week as an upgrade to a 1TB Western Digital hard drive. The Seagate one is faster and more reliable.

Argos offers for 1TB console now have no free game. Hopefully they'll have a good offer up again soon.

Usually a digital code not physical game. So still wouldn't unlock until it's out on digital store.

Don't forget it comes with EA access so you will have access to it 5 days before the US release.

I'd recommend Argos for a new Xbox One instead.

They always have a €350 bundle with a game.
Both assassin's creed games are very cheap to purchase if someone would like those.

Also with Argos if anything goes wrong with the console you can walk in the door and exchange your console instantly during its warranty period. You won't need to ship it any where.

Unless they're out of stock. Had to send my console to MS because of that, faulty disc drive straight out of the box. Used the advanced repair service had a new console in 2 days, they put a held charge on your cc until they receive your broken console though like Apple do.

When mgsv came out Argos were giving it away free with the xbox one gears of war bundle. Anyone know if this is a regular thing, more specifically, will they do it with Forza 6?.

DakarVert · 12-09-2015 1:58am

As above, Looking to go to next gen for Forza 6!
Any bundles around at the moment?

Argos seem to be the cheapest for console deals.

I think the FIFA16 bundles are very good value.
The 500Megs one is 369 at multiple places like Xtra Vision.
...but I went for the 1T version for 399 at GameStop. It's 30 EUR extra for +500 Megs.

Hang on until next week. Argos tend to update their bundles on Wednesday/Thursday. They've consistly been the cheapest and their last offer was 500GB console and MGS5 for €349 I think. I'd be surprised if they don't have a Forza bundle in the next week or two.

An extra €30 for another 500GBs and another 11 months of EA Access.

They currently have the Forza 6 1TB console listed at €420, will probably be a bit cheaper when actually released.

Does this come with a disk for the game that could be sold if I didn't want to play fifa? Also do you have to pre order and collect after the 15th?

If you don't want fifa get the argos bundle (might have changed)

Allyall · 12-09-2015 5:00pm

Amazon Italy have the Thrustmaster Ferrari Racing Wheel for €48.08 (€60.71 Delivered).
http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00IVHQ0KI/

If you throw in a game (or something else) it can bring the overall price down including shipping.

TitianGerm · 12-09-2015 6:29pm

There's a 20% sale on Xbox credit on the Microsoft Singapore Store. At the minute Forza 6 basic is $69.90.

If you buy $70 credit you can get Forza for around €35.

Edit: Halo 5 and MGS5 also available at that price.
