This deal is based on the Amazon UKand Amazon Germany (thanks to ) posts that I made previously. This appears to be an error but once you place the order, you can go to your account and cancel FIFA (if you don't want it) then you are left with a cheap console!

    Miles behind on Xbox. Is this the latest model? Worth buying just for game pass?
    Carlos_Carlitos's avatar
    Yes it's the latest model there is also more powerful 4k cappable Xbox series X that also has a disc drive , the series s is 1440-1080p machine without a disc drive , only has 360gb of free storage .

    I have ps5 and bought series s just for Gamepass and its awesome.

    I used a website called eneba to buy 9 3months Xbox gold codes for £80 which then I converted to 3 years Xbox ultimate. (edited)
  2. dan_walsh's avatar
    just tried this and the fifa code is charged immediately so no way to cancel
    RichH6109's avatar
    On a desktop, click "View Order Details" above the FIFA order and then cancel the item. There's no cancellation button to the right of the item. (edited)

    So mine was delivered in an outer brown box. Then after opening I had the Xbox series s refurbished box. I’m currently going through the set up process. What I can gather is:
    the accessories are brand new. The controller is definitely brand new, I’ve used that many to tell. No dirt in the grooves, the back is embossed etc. same with video / power lead.

    the console is as new, however this console is a genuine refurbished console and you can check if yours is too. On the back right hand side, on the white label next to the serial number if you see “service date”. This means this console was sent back to Microsoft for whatever reason and work has been done on it. Mine says Service date: 23-Nov-2021. If your console doesn’t say service date and just says “manufacturer date”. Your console has never been sent to Microsoft for repair and is just a used console.

    after review all consoles have 1 year warranty from Microsoft. Considering I was thinking of buying an extra controller for £40 anyway. £117 got me a Series S which is ALOT easier to carry around than my Halo limited edition Series X this is an absolute steal.
    Supergolo's avatar
    Yes this is what i got. Havent opened yet.

    Anyone who missed this deal and would like to grab it...it`s still possible if you think out the box...You just need to be a bit sneaky and selective with your payment options. Example: Use a card that's got no funds or invalid expiry 3 digit code etc.. available during checkout ,then after the usual prompts to update payment options....Just use a bit of common sense and be selective with the update payment options on your account with the 2 items that need payment details updated.
    Keep none working fund less card payment option for FIFA (eventually they will cancel the FIFA order) and change the Xbox payment card to a good funded valid card Payment will be taken for the Xbox and they will ship it out to you.

    Best Regards (edited)

    appreciated...

    Previously had an Xbox One X refurbished, also like new. New box, cables, and controller. Albeit, the box did state refurbished. But could not fault a certified refurb from Amazon.
    rustystatic's avatar
    What's the warranty on a Refurb?
  6. meistic's avatar
    Can you use controllers from previous gen?
    xp3200's avatar
    Yes you can
  7. RandomUser42's avatar
    Seems to have worked (on UK site for £157.50), didn't get an email confirming I cancelled the game but it is in the cancelled section of My Orders so hopefully all good.

    Free premium next day delivery too, hope it's after I get home! (edited)
    RandomUser42's avatar
    I guess removing the game preorder also removes the free delivery as my card was charged £161.49 in the end. (edited)
  8. McShane's avatar
    Just set mine up, the actual console and controller looks brand new, not a single scuff or mark anywhere!

    Also, not sure if Microsoft give another years warranty when they refurbish units or this Series S is in fact only a month old but my warranty is valid until August '23.

    Faz_187's avatar
    My warranty is covered to the same date as your screenshot
  9. sm9690's avatar
    This doesn't work, i've just had the full amount taken from my card, even though i'd cancelled fifa
    MichaelNugent's avatar
    I’ve spoken with them.

    £209 will be charged however they’re refunding the cost of fifa so will get the £157 price
  10. DanPitney's avatar
    Have an Xbox with games I assume I have get rid of all my games if got this and start again?
    BubaMan's avatar
    You've not said what generation of Xbox you have or if your games are discs or digital...
    This will play Xbox One games and X360 b/c games but it has no disc drive, so it will only support your digital library.
  11. CH_0120's avatar
    I’ve spoke to them on live chat and they confirmed the lower amount for the Xbox, said there’s a small window as EA will be sending the codes soon so better to cancel now if you’re going to risk it
    MichaelNugent's avatar
    They’re honouring the £157.70 if we’ve cancelled quickly then?
  12. loofer's avatar
    can somebody please explain in simple terms how you get this price please.
    can you update main description (or, if mods don't allow, add a post that we can all Like) that explains what needs to be done to get it for headline price
    vassy4u's avatar
    Order the console with the game. Then cancel the game. So you will be refunded for it. Making the console alone to be at the price advertised in this deal.
  13. Vishwas's avatar
    Thanks worked for me, had amazon photos promotion automatically applied, got it at 150.01 (edited)

    Yes. Much better.

    The Xbox is a new generation machine whereas PS4 is last gen. (edited)

  16. steveieboy1's avatar
    Are there any good games for young kids or is the Nintendo switch better?
    Fluff's avatar
    It depends on what the kids are into. With Gamepass you'll find lots of kid-friendly games like Minecraft, Dreamlight Valley, Overcooked... but Nintendo's games are generally better. Nothing like thrashing your kids on Mario Kart!
  17. Sweetchinmusic's avatar
    Just done this and managed to cancel FIFA 23 (wouldnt have minded having it but not at that price lol). Doesnt appear in my Orders now but the Xbox for 157.50 is there! States its arriving tomorrow so hopefully all goes through!

    Question for those with multiple Xbox consoles! I've got a Series X but would I be able to apply the existing Gamepass and any downloaded games from that console onto this one? (edited)
    awesomegiles26's avatar
    If you log into your account sure, as subscription is based on your account not Xbox
  18. mbg77's avatar
    Does this work the other way around?
    To get cheap FIFA?
    merb0786's avatar
    It doesn't no.
  19. UltimatePhoenix's avatar
    Damn tempting for the kids room, great console with gamepass
  20. CH_0120's avatar
    Tempting to do this, although will wait until console is delivered first then try cancel FIFA
    Admast79's avatar
    You can't.

    Because before it will be delivered to UK they will supply a code for you - and digital codes are not refundable therefore you won't be able to cancel it.

    That's a reason why you can do it now, because you won't get a code before Friday - so you can cancel it after placing an order.
  21. MichaelNugent's avatar
    Can’t seem to cancel just fifa? Any tips?
    robuk360's avatar
    You have to use a desktop browser and not the phone app. I've just done the same, fifa is gone and just the console left at 157quid. Hope they don't still charge 209 tho lol

    For those buying from Amazon.de and want a UK plug instead of using an adaptor this is under fiver assuming you already using a fee free card for the xbox anyway:
    amazon.de/-/e…8-1

    There maybe cheaper options like from eBay seller too (edited)
  24. bluehedgehog's avatar
    What might happen with the refund if I was to partially pay with Amazon vouchers?? Would it give me the option to refund to card or would it automatically refund the vouchers first??
    adamguest1985's avatar
    The percentage you originally paid in vouchers is likely to go back onto your account as Amazon credit.
  25. RedRasher's avatar
    I just purchased from amazon.de but it doesn't let me refund the game seperately. Am using desktop, message says "individual items cannot be cancelled if they are part of a discounted bundle". Any ideas??

    **EDIT - 15 mins after I ordered, option has now come up to cancel FIFA. Fingers crossed will still honour order** (edited)
  26. Shure's avatar
    I've just checked the pending transactions on my CC and it's showing the correct amount for just the Xbox.
    robuk360's avatar
    Same here
  27. Atomm's avatar
    About to order. Says that fifa is an instant delivery and will be available after purchase.

    Any ideas??
    Atomm's avatar
    Went for it. Ordered and was able to cancel fifa instantly.

    Perfect timing as my kids xbox one s packed in a few weeks ago with a faulty cpu which was unable to be repaired.
    Shout out to the OP hot 🔥 deal
  28. gadgetsgalore's avatar
    wouldnt be better just ordring lightly "used " from amazon warehouse.
    REfurb, means it was used for a long time and fully broken somehow and had to be fixed-
    Atomm's avatar
    I'm not sure that is what refurbished means, but if you have some evidence of this I would appreciate seeing it.
  29. 4kmon95's avatar
    Just placed order no option to cancel even on website however customer services has always been more than happy to cancel. Top deal 🤝
  30. seabee05's avatar
    I couldn't cancel Fifa, waited and waited but still no cancel option on my desktop.

    Ended up ringing Amazon who cancelled both.
    wackymaky's avatar
    Need to go into 'order details' on desktop
  31. Frostygills's avatar
    I have an order showing 157.50, but the dispatch and what's been charged to the card includes the 2.99 delivery. Anyone have this too?
    Faz_187's avatar
    Yeah I got charged 5.99 delivery, annoying!!
  32. rustystatic's avatar
    How do I cancel the Fifa 23 game? :/ I don't seem to have the option (edited)
    steveieboy1's avatar
    Wait 15 mins, use desktop and go into orders into the detail of the order and cancel it.
  33. RandomUser42's avatar
    Got my one; looks nice, almost like new. Only things I noticed were the controller being a little dusty and the label on the back of the console is kinda faded. Will need to wait until tomorrow to test it out though
  34. Faz_187's avatar
    Did anyone get the usb c charging cable with theirs?
    addsimpson's avatar
    Yeah there’s no charging cable as the controller comes with disposable batteries. Microsoft sell a separate kit with a rechargeable battery and cable for £20 (or there’s loads of third party options)

    xbox.com/en-…kit
  35. CAL23's avatar
    Worked no problem!Simply click "View order details" on FIFA and then the "Cancel items" button.
    iby2012's avatar
    cant see it ordered it just before 6pm
  36. Sam.A2020's avatar
    Is the manufacturer warranty in anyway compromised by going for a refurbished one???
  37. CH_0120's avatar
    Just got this today, can anyone advise or link me to the best way to get Gamepass Ultimate? Not had XBL gold or anything before. Thanks
    CAL23's avatar
    Stack up to 3 years XBL Gold and then get the £1 for 1 month Ultimate to convert.
  38. Jakub12399's avatar
    I cancelled FIFA 23 but didn’t get a cancellation email, it no longer shows up in my orders on Amazon. I don’t think I will be charged, will I?
    Sarah7's avatar
    Are you sure it's not on your 'Cancelled Orders' tab? I see my FIFA 23 cancellation there.
  39. brj080402's avatar
    Wow yeah looks new and a year warranty so can’t complain! I’m new to gaming again from my old PlayStation 3 days lol. Is it right you don’t get an Ethernet cable with an Xbox S??? Can anyone recommend please or is WiFi good enough nowadays? Thanks again op!
    Shure's avatar
    No cable provided so you'll need one if you want to cable in, as always it's better if you have access to cable directly.
    One persons wifi is never the same as anothers so only you know what your house/setup is like in terms of speed/strength. I'm using mine on Wifi just fine
  40. JR_SmiffEsq's avatar
    Plenty Series S on Gumtree for just over £100 in my area, reasons usually being folk upgarding to series X or going back to Playstation. I had the Series S and its a great wee machine but you will find yourself having "Netflix Syndrome" ie too much choice not enough time to play with Gamepass.
    Deemz1's avatar
    That's a really valid point. Used price is well below this
