Argos: X Box 360 250GB Console, FIFA 14, Minecraft & 3 month live Game Bundle

I've just reserved this for DS for Christmas, couldn't see it posted anywhere here. Have been looking for a good deal for a while now & have jumped at this one.

Argos have a bundle deal at the moment, until 5/11/13.

Microsoft Xbox 360 250GB Console & FIFA 14 Game Bundle
& Minecraft & 3 months Xbox live for £159.99

Plus, when you spend over £100, you get a £10 voucher

Admittedly, there will be stock issues, my nearest stores have one of the items out stock, but found it all in stock at Peterlee store

HTH someone :)

  • Definitely a good deal, however, wait until the Xbox one is released (22nd nov) and it'll either be even cheaper or have more with it for that price, like a kinect.

    I got the same bundle but with no xbox live 3month card from smyths at the start of last week for £199.00......took it back today and got the money put back on my card......then went to argos and got that deal....well pleased....:j
  • yes indeed!

    A good deal for this bundle but the way they are processing this sale means that finding all 3 items in the same store is like finding a Willy Wonka Golden Ticket.

    Our local store had 2 of the 3 items in store. The Minecraft game is not back in stock until 25 nov - too late for this deal. I asked if we could buy the 2 in stock and come back for the game when in store- but this was not an option.

    I have emailed them but have not received a reply.

    I had a similar experience with Tesco a few years ago, however they honoured the free game and actually delivered it to my door.

    A shame Argos couldn't do the same.

    Yes saw that may well go down that path and minecraft is only £13.00ish on its own.
  • Managed to get the deal honoured in my local store today

    They didn't have the minecraft game or the xbox live - but they took our number and will give us a call to pick them up.

    So paid £159.99 and took the xbox home along with the £10 voucher and will await my phonecall...

    Thanks for that.
  • I have decided not to go for the deal.

    I have the bundle reserved at Whitechapel until the end of today - if anyone wants the reservation code PM me.
