Xbox One Console with Alien: Isolation and The Evil Within £305.00 @ Tesco

Just got an even better deal than this at Tesco Extra in Bursledon, Southampton.

Xbox One Forza Horizon Bundle
Alien: Isolation
The Evil Within

£305!!

I didn't see the Evil Within or any Xbox Ones visibly in stock on the shelfs. So I went up to the Click and Collect counter and asked the guy if they had this in stock. He already knew about the £305 bundle without me asking so he went around the back and bought the console and games out. The first attempt didn't scan through at 305 because he used a console with Kinect included. The second attempt he bought out a Forza Horizon Bundle with the two other games. Scanned through at £305

So ask the staff to scan it through with the Forza Horizon Console bundle and you get 3 games included for the same price

Just bought this in Seacroft in Leeds! The sales assistants were confused as to why it was cheaper than advertised, but one guy said to give it to me at that price. Phew.

Well Spark I'm not being funny, but you do pop up in defence of the Xbone in a lot of threads! But I'll humour you.

Firstly, by the time I'd got the PS4 in July, I already had a mountain of decent games to download via PS+ (Resogun, Outlast, Contrast, Dead Nation, Don't Starve etc) which wasn't the case with my Xbone, despite getting it about 3 months after the PS4. Simply because GWG has been nowhere near as good as PS+.

Secondly, I don't like the Metro style tile layout of the Xbone UI. It's too cluttered and a **** to navigate, much like Windows 8. I don't find it nearly as fluid and responsive as the PS4 either. Just generally I don't really like how the Xbone behaves.

Thirdly, the Xbone (at least my one) is a noisy machine. Much noisier than the PS4, not to mention the fact that's it's bigger, bulkier and has a hideous external PSU. The disc drive is too loud, and for that reason my PS4 is also my bluray player.

Finally, in my opinion the PS4 simply has the better game catalogue.

If there's one thing I like better than the PS4, it's the controller. And that's only because the analogue sticks are much better, which is obviously crucial. The DS4's analogue sticks are pretty poor (both in terms of build quality and ergonomics), but the DS4 is lighter, natively rechargeable, has more features and a better build quality in general. But the excellent sticks on the Xbone controller is enough to nudge it into the lead.

I'm keeping the Xbone simply so I can play Quantum Break and The Master Chief Collection when they're out, and to get a bit more value out of Destiny (which came with the console, though I must say it's a pretty average game).

This is irritating because I read another comment a week or so ago of … This is irritating because I read another comment a week or so ago of someone that said they had both and the PS4 was louder. Still can't make my mind up by I think Master Chief might sway it for me.Read lessRead more

The Xbox One is far quieter than the PS4 under load. According to Eurogamer's tests, when idling the reading was 42dB for both, but under load the Xbox One remained at 42dB while the PS4 rose to 53. A 10dB difference is approximately twice as loud in terms of perceived noise, due to decibels being a logarithmic scale. Anyone who's got an Xbox One that's much louder than a PS4 simply has a faulty console, because the Xbox One fan is considerably larger, shifts more air, and therefore spins slower.

As for playing a Blu-Ray disc, the Xbox One isn't loud at all. Eurogamer's tests have the PS4 and Xbox One at the exact same noise level when playing a Blu-Ray disc.

The Xbox One is also much easier to navigate as you can pin links to anything - games, apps, store items, web pages etc. - in any order you want. On the PS4 you just get one big long list of games and apps you have to scroll through.

I wouldn't believe some of the porkie pies you read on here about the Xbox One.

not a PS4 so cold.

And the award for the most original comment of the century goes to..anything but that.

I will keep this very short and sweet. Fantastic deal go and get this if you are on the fence. Xbox updates every month are putting Playstation to shame. The underdog is slowly becoming a good console. The more abuse Microsoft get, the more they seem to act on the updates. MKV support/Plex/snap/EA access with plants and zombies just added - to name a few new things. Don't listen to a lot of rubbish posted by fanboys who seem to trawl the xbox posts and cool heated deals. It has never been about the amount of pixels you can push. If you're that concerned buy a high end PC. Simply sit down and put Forza Horizon 2 in, watch the intro and smile while everyone tries to get on the Driveclub servers. You will thank me later.

Just so ya know in regards to the Forza bundle working on this deal its only if the wrong barcode is scanned so it's hit and miss. The Forza bundle is just the regular console with a sleeve over it and a different barcode. If the barcode on the top of the box is scanned its recognised as a regular Xbox One console but if the barcode on the sleeve is scanned (which is the one that is supposed to be scanned for the Forza bundle) it will come up at £349 and the above bundle will not work.

I wasn't even expecting the Forza pack until she came out of the back with it.All in all, one of my strangest purchases...Read lessRead more

If you're a fan of cars or driving games then you will be so happy once you see FH2. Not got mine set up yet but played it a mates and on the Xbox One it is just stunning.

Confirmed just bought!

Someone go to the STOCKPORT EXTRA branch, (the big one in the town centre), and see if they honour this deal.

Any other branches in or around Manchester City centre may also suffice.

Thankyou. You're doing the Lord's work.

My Tesco have said they have it at £329

N.E.V.E.R. ring them, you're just giving them more time to think about whether to accept it or not. If you turn up in person without any warning and are waiting around they're more likely to accept it.

For those of you on the fence.

This just got announced.

a different coat of paint and a re-hash of an old game I've already played wouldn't be enough to pull me off the fence unfortunately, not to mention the 'exclusive' coloured consoles retail for up to £100 more than the standard ones.

Why is it in a bin bag?

Because people are too ashamed to be seen with an XB1:)? Hohohooheeha I'm hilarious (disclaimer: I have no strong feelings towards either Sony or MS).

Did it come with a Time machine aswell?? or the guarantee of another mis-price...........

Not sure if it's been mentioned but latest Xbox one system update brings ability to play MKV media files with DLNA network support.

damn im running out of money ,,, i thought this site is supposed to save me monies

Well done to those who've managed to get the Forza bundle, but do the sales staff not realise they've scanned through a solus Xbox and not the bundle they have in their hands. Love to see the faces on the Tesco execs when they find out there's not only been a till glitch but staff have been scanning Forza bundles as solus packs, gonna make some nice looking stock-take figures

The problem or advantage for us is the Forza box is just a standard box but with game inside. It's basically the sleeve that makes it different if staff haven't been told they must scan sleeve instead of box then it's not the staffs fault

Massive thanks OP and JaySFC!!!! Rang my local store and they reserved the last Forza bundle for me. Got there and was nervous as hell as knew if he scanned the correct barcode it wouldn't actually work. And guess what...he did scan the bundle barcode and wanted £417. So I explained he needs to scan the one on the top of the box for it all to go through at the lower price for everything together. I thought he would just say no but he said ok let's try it and of course IT WORKED!!! The guy was like oh wow thank you I didn't know that, I'll do that in future hahahahah! Also not complaining getting 12p off a litre at the pumps too!

This is a cheeky one as technically they are scanning the wrong product, selling you a normal Xbox One rather than the Forza Horizon bundle, but c'est le vie

I've been waiting for the right time to buy an Xbox One and it's fair to say this was it!! Soooo happy. Forza Horizon is my fave ever game so I know what I'm gonna be doing all weekend Here are a few pics:

I also have both and I would recommend the PS4 by far; it's definitely personal preference.

I am on my mobile so can't upload a pic but it is going through at £305

Threads went quiet.......everyone at tesco?:p

Wow, this is getting close to my bite point! Nice find.

If you trade in both games at CEX you get £64 cash. That makes Xbox One console only £241!

If true that's a cracking deal

I can confirm this deal, just picked it up myself in Tesco Lichfield

It's designed to be more like the original source material. I must have missed the part where Ripley turned around 30 minutes into the first Alien film and shot the Xenomorph square in the face.

Struggling not to pop to my local tescos now and buy this!!!

Hot from me!

I'm happy with my PS4 but this is a proper bargain
