    Xbox 500gb with Kinect + 3 Games - 250 euro

    it's for my sisters kids - ages 9 / 7 / 4 so kinect will be used for the sports and dance games

    my opinion is that it's reasonable deal - just wanted to get some other opinions..

    I'd get the One S personally but that's an ok price for that bundle if they want a Kinnect and those games. It's available from Argos UK for £199 or €223 using Revolut as well.

    and courtesy of suckit in the BA forum, it's available from Microsoft UK with delivery to Ireland for 199 pounds too. must be a bit of a general discount on the older bundles as Tesco have reductions too...

    can I ask how you use revolut?

    Do you do a calculation on £ to euro and then add that amount to your card?

    What if its wrong ?

    You can use the conversion rate inside the app. By opening the transfer window, even without any money deposited, you can calculate how many euro you need to get so and so pounds. When you have a number, you deposit the euro and then convert right away, and you should get exactly the amount you want.

    and then you use the card number to buy as normal (even the electronic one ) ?

    Pretty decent deals on the older console now, I see Argos have the 1TB model with The Division and Gears of War 4 for €249. Hard to argue with that.

    I have requested and received the physical card, and I'm using it regularly in the shops in Northern Ireland. That's in addition to my trips to South America!
