XBox One Console + Destiny + Titanfall: €379 (Argos)

    Argos are currently running a promotion for the Xbox One plus Destiny plus Titanfall for €419. But if you go to their website and add these to your basket it comes up at €379.

    Picked mine up this morning at this price.

    Furthermore if you don't want Titanfall just add one copy of destiny. Then go back to the destiny page and add the destiny + console pack. Your basket will allow you to buy the Xbox with two copies of destiny for the same price. You can then trade this in against something else.

    Honestly I doubt it. I suspect this may be a mis-price so quite possibly the best deal this side of Christmas.


  • Registered Users Posts: 817 ✭✭✭bonkers


    definitely a misprice.. just picked up one in argos santry..

    cheers op!

    Damnit, why didn't I think of that!

    Picked one up in Santry and took €42 cash from CEX for the other copy of destiny.

    Total Newby question but I was under the assumption that the Kinect was bundled with the new Xbox one.... not the case?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,450 ✭✭✭Batesy


    They released another SCU without the kinect a couple of months ago and knocked €100 off the price.

    Most bundles now don't include it, including this one. You can pick one up from CEX for around €26 I believe.

    I noticed this deal last night and was surprised when I seen the two games in the cart for €0 along with the console for €379, picked one up at Liffey Valley today :D

    It's an absolute steal at this price considering the same bundle is going for £339 (€430) at Argos in the UK, delighted!

    FYI; when I went to pay for it at the kiosk dealy, it wouldn't accept the code and let me pay so I thought they had cancelled it. Went up to the counter, said I was collecting it for my kid cousin and played dumb when they questioned the two Destiny games.

    Going to trade in my 360 & games & kinect to CES and be done with it. Probably pick up a Xbone kinect, controller.


  • Registered Users Posts: 144 ✭✭MrGarak


    May go the CEX route as well for Kinect/controller!

    Have an old 360/games now and it may be easier to go there than to sell on Adverts. A bit off topic but does anyone know if they'll give you more for a 360 S with an extra hard drive in it? Mine has a 120GB drive I think.

    Can relate. Don't need this. Don't even know if I want it but when you see a price and a deal like this... just trying to stop myself jumping into the car :p Fantastic deal for those interested in this console I think...


  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭Seaniemac


    Hi, Just ordered the console and the two games from Argos for €379.99, but they are not available yet for collection at Mahon Point Argos and won`t be available until Monday September 29th. Even though I`ve ordered them before the deadline tomorrow, I hope they will honor the deal when I won`t be collecting them for a week. Not my fault though. Thanks Akula for The Heads-Up.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 144 ✭✭MrGarak


    The thing that tipped me over the edge was discovering that a Plex client is coming for the Xbox One, and you can also plug a Chromecast into the HDMI in port at the back, so it will become my all-in-one media machine :)

    I'm a bit disappointed it doesn't have the RTE player app like the Xbox 360, but I suppose you could just tab cast it to the Chromecast.


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭Racket


    Just got the deal myself with two copies of Destiny in Monaghan. Cheers OP!

    Hmmm, tried plugging my horizon box into it yesterday but it didn't like that I didn't have a Kinect.

    How it is with a chromecast?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 500 ✭✭✭JOSman


    just picked mine up.

    Cheers OP


  • Registered Users Posts: 489 ✭✭darklighter


    Thanks OP!

    Dont "NEED" this but when i sell the extra copy of Destiny its a great bargain @ €340 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,230 ✭✭✭Greg81


    Thanks OP. Just collected console plus 2 x Destiny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,195 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Bit of advice here, the trade in price on Destiny will go down big time if too many are traded in which will be the case here so take advantage of this while you can as it won't last, so sayeth the RobbingBandit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,498 ✭✭✭recyclops


    why trade in when u can leave it unopened and return it in the shop with receipt


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,195 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit

    Because Video Games are excluded from the 30 day money back blah blah blah in Argos, if you and anyone else thinking of pulling this scam had done your research first you would all know this. :P

    ditto.

    So what's so good about this deal? Is the xbox one a major upgrade to the 360?


  • Registered Users Posts: 433 ✭✭rafi bomb

    I actually have one reserved in Mahon Point Cork until closing on Monday. Happy to give the code to anybody who wants it for immediate pickup.

    The reservation is for Console + Destiny + Titanfall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,354 ✭✭✭naughto


    Picking mine up in the morning


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭bigboss1986


    I have the code for Argos in Galway until monday 8pm.xbox one +2x destiny.I cant buy this week so I can give it to someone


  • Registered Users Posts: 144 ✭✭MrGarak

    Yeah it seems to give some trouble for anything that requires a remote if you don't have Kinect.

    I was able to plug in the Chromecast (powered by the USB port on the back of the console) and it's working well, it was just a matter of going to 'TV' on the home screen and it was working at 1080p. The only issue is it seems to be outputting audio in stereo only.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 817 ✭✭✭ronanc1000


    Reserved one on the off chance that this is a price error BUT is there a chance this deal will still be available later in the week? Or is this a now or never sort of deal this side of Xmas? Lol

    I think this type of deal has happened twice since January, take from that what you will.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,986 ✭✭✭Spazdarn


    I want , so much but the extra controller and xbox live subscription on top of it will break me :( Come on payday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,195 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit
