Console only. Does that literally mean no pad or wires?

Such a good console at this price...
I have 3x Series X's in the house (2 Daughters and Mine) and 1x Series S (Bedroom)
Have a PS5, Switch and PC in the house but the Xbox's get used the most by far due to Gamepass.
Great Value, grab this and 3 years Game Pass Ultimate and you will have unbeatable value entertainment for the next 3 years

If I dident have my next child due I would be all over this deal purely for game pass but I’ll have to stick with my Turkish psn deluxe till 2030

Good price, but I'd seriously save up for a Series X instead. This console isn't that powerful and will struggle to run future games like GTA 6 properly. Series X has a disc drive as well so you can trade in finished games.
TheCostOfLies
Why lie to people?
There's no evidence that it will struggle with future games.
Did PS4 struggle to run Tsushima, Last of Us 2 or Horizon Forbidden West? Did games looks better at the start of a generation?
No. Games run better over time because developers learn how to better manage consoles over their lifespan. Only in NEXT gen crossover games will you start to see the creaks of old systems. That, and lazy development.
Also, handing your mate a finished game is fine, but you can literally share your entire catalogue with Xbox game share with digital purchases, so you only have to buy one copy to both play. That's way better than having to swap discs.
And if you sell the disc, then you essentially rented it anyway, so not all that difference to a subscription service 🤷♂️ (edited)

If you have slow internet, it literally can take days to download stuff a big minus if going digital. Some people make out any game you download your playing within an hour or two, if only that was the case for a lot of people. (edited)

you can pair an s or x (or ps5 for that matter) to a slow cheap HDD / SSD and transfer back and forth. so at least you're not limited to that incredibly tiny S internal storage.

It’s such a good console. Whisper quiet also.
jona77
I think it’s common knowledge that Microsoft’s 2 consoles sales have tanked in Europe in the last year. I think the main reason is probably down to the lack of aaa rated games. I’m half tempted at this price like others have mentioned to buy this with game pass. I’ve only ever owned a switch mainly for the kids.
BrianButterfield
Yeah people spend hundreds to play amazing exclusives, Phil Spencer has tanked Microsoft so hard and I'm surprised he hasn't been fired. That said Sony's exclusives were great in the PS4 era, so I think that has carried them this far, but they keep doing the same thing over and over now and it's boring.

Had mine since day 1 and loved it. I only play a handful of games so it’s perfect for me. Why people pay £400 for a console just to play FIFA, I will never know.

20LEGENDUnited
Currently have 5 games installed, FIFA 23, Elisted, Hitman Trilogy, Halo Infinite multiplayer, Gears 5 and all but one courtesy of game pass. Could probably download a few small indie games too. This console is perfect for a casual gamer. (edited)

Plus let us not forget a high percentage of your xbox 360 and OG digital games will also come with you, i personally have over 300 xbox 360 and OG games on this box, along with my xbox one games, and a good pile of them get access to frame boost and auto hdr.
So even if you do not spend a penny on modern games, you got one hell of a back compat machine in this little box, plus lekky wise it is insanly low to run, i have not seen it top 70 watts with it usually not breaking 50 watts while playing games, so connect that up to a 1080p 27in monitor pulling 20 watts and you are gaming will under 100 watts a hour, so no 5th yacht for your lekky company ceo this year.

Microsoft need to sort out game pass family and friends
I would highly recommend those considering this also factor in the cost of the memory expansion, because unless you only play Indies, you're gonna fill it up within the first 30 minutes with a small number of big titles on there.
TheCostOfLies
Not necessarily. Only if you play COD, FIFA and Fortnite, and basically nothing else

Do gamepass pc saves sync with Xbox if your using the same account?
outerheaven8
They should yeah, I've gone back and forth between pc and console and I've never had issues with continuing my save. Not sure if it's the same for every game, but Microsoft first party games do it without issue. Just need to make sure the save has time to upload before turning off your pc/console if switching.

Will this run recent games like modern warfare 3? Smoothly?
TheCostOfLies
Yes. Every current gen game will run fine. Not always 60fps, but usually very stable

Same traded in my PS4 to game along with 90 for it back then.
My wee boy has it on every day. I can't get near it now. Tho would be tempted to buy another one just for the living room.
TommyGunn
Great deal, cracking little box for the price. But for me, it has been really hamstrung by the small internal storage and the extortionate cost of expansion cards (its like the PS Vita all over again!). I got my console on the 24m all access deal a couple of years ago, and I am kicking myself that I didn't spring the extra £9/£10 per month to get the X with more storage and importantly, a disc drive.
I have Forza Horizon 5, GTA online and Fifa 23 installed and those 3 games between them take up the vast majority of my disc space. I have about 55gb remaining and that isn't enough for most of the newest releases unfortnuately. I have tried cloud gaming and it is pretty good, but has been somewhat inconsistent for me.
As others have stated; for casual gaming this is spot on. If you have youngsters who just want to play Fortnite/Fifa/Rocket League, the Series S is ideal. Pair it with game pass and you are set.
bobdylan
Just buy a cheap external harddrive and install and play all Xbox One games from that. Just leave the internal drive for the Xbox Series S/X games to be installed and you're sorted (edited)

im half expecting to find one in my xmas pudding this year

Great price but don’t really need one. Would impulse buy at £150.
Cavs
£150 acceptable isn't bad either
Rhakio
Acceptable can be even cracked, or missing buttons on controler. Would rather get used from market place or ebay than buy something Acceptable from Amazon. And i say this as employer that work next to station and people who grade them

This a great deal but not as good deal as some of the others around that include the 3 month game pass. So if you are wanting it for that better value elsewhere

Great little console. The only downside is only 512gb disk.

does this console have downloadable games only? ie no physical blu ray or whatever? Meaning you cant get second hand cheap games for it?

Correct, digital only.
