XBOX ONE Best Deals

captainbeaker

I am seeing some good deals out there for the XBOX ONE.
Game has the 1TB version with Fifa 16, Black Ops 3 and Titanfall for £319.99.
Oldest is wanting one for Xmas
What's everyone's opinion is this a good deal or will there be better deals on Black Friday?

Gotta bear in mind that the 1tb machine with FIFA also has 12 months of EA Access - so it makes the Titanfall game redundant. Right now I'm only seeing it with FIFA & Black Ops 3 with the 1tb for £320, but that's only half the story because of the EA Access thing.

EA Access will give you the following games "free" for the duration of your subscription to it:

Titanfall
Battlefield 4
Battlefield Hardline
Madden 15
Dragon Age Inquisition
Plants v Zombies
Need for Speed Rivals
NHL 15
UFC
NBA Live 15

(skipping FIFA 14/15 as well, no point if you have 16 & aren't interested in playing as Rangers....)

Dunno what their black friday sale's going to be like, I know they had a couple of belters last year but not so sure this time round as their consoles are mostly differently set this year. Last year it was only Assassins Creed fixed packs - with all due respects, that's a AA game as opposed to AAA. This year it's FIFA, Halo 5, Fallout 4 - all of those are true AAA titles & are less likely to be heavily discounted as they'll sell well. Could just be me, but if I was looking at it I wouldn't be putting those into silly Black Friday style things which one can only assume may hit the £250 territory.

Zavvi are doing a 1TB Xbox One with the brand new Fallout 4 for £289.99, which I think is a great deal if you're not interested in half of the games in other bundles.

I expect consoles will be heavily discounted getting closer to Black Friday week, with places like Very & Amazon usually knocking another £30 - £50 off their prices.

Thanks Folks
Sorry I forgot about the EA access, that's definitely worthwhile, not sure why they have bundled titanfall in then seems a bit odd.


My thought about black Friday is the 500gb versions may have the best discounts and as the 1tb rrp on its own was £349.99 getting it with fifa ea etc plus black ops3 the game he really wants for ~£320 just go for it so I have.

I get the feeling by this time next year we'll likely see the 500gb models of both major consoles have been "retired", 500gb was never really a sensible HD size. (More so when you consider that both Sony & MS wanted to go "full digital" with this generation - dunno who was stoned at that R&D meeting!) If they are going to discount the fixed packs it's going to be the 500gb ones for sure, maybe the 1tb PS4 with Assassins Creed/Destiny but mostly avoiding the FIFA/Halo/CoD/Fallout stuff.
