It seems a lot, but it's not like it's just some Bluetooth wireless keyboard, it has to be custom made to fit and interact with the Surface (e.g., turning off when folded back). And is there a cheaper Surface Pro keyboard you can link to? Even comparing to other devices, I don't know if other 2-in-1s have cheaper keyboards, though even if they do, one should look at the whole package. I find the Surface Pro surprisingly okay on a lap. Yes, if you want a device to be using on a lap all or most the time, other forms may be better.

Good price for the fingerprint version but doesn’t have the Alcantra covering of the newer signature edition ones, which are very nice indeed (I have the burgundy). Depends what is more important on an individual basis.

I've used these keyboards since the surface pro 3, and they are far from flimsy. I can type for fairly extended periods on them. Yeah, they are expensive, but they are also seriously light, and I am still not sure how they get the keys too work the way they do without having inter-dimensional portals below the keys. Oh yeah, they are still in no way "lapable". The Surface Pro is a desk laptop.

Yeah It's a great bit of kit but £100 for a flimsy keyboard that types ok is still way overpriced. £150 is a joke.

That's not bad at all. As far as I know, it doesn't have the fancy Alcantra fabric of the signature keyboard. Having said that, I have found the standard keyboard very easy to keep clean.

Heat added. Decent bundle if you're eligible (I somehow am and I've never claimed to be any of the requirements nor am I)

Yes correct. 159.99 actually. Amex just confirmed the cashback :)

For anyone avidly price watching, this was easily one of the best deals of late: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xbox-one-s-1tb-playerunknowns-battleground-halo-v-forza-7-sea-of-thieves-20700-at-tesco-direct-292221 £207 for a 1TB with PUBG and Halo V and Forza 7 and Sea of Thieves or Far Cry 5.

I didn't need this. I didn't want this. I just bought this.

Anyone got a Amex that they will let me use (embarrassed) lol pls

Is this 4k, HDR with Dolby Atmos?

Halcyon days. lol all of 3 minutes ago. Here son let me tell you a tale of yore, it started many eons ago when the xbox 360 was out......

Ya know it's right

Halcyon days

You would have

New run SSX3 - The Junction Superpipe

I know lol that was frustrating

It cheated you, you was way over the line! (y)

I of course was referring to the digital version that is the deal posted here. They had a licence issue but fixed it the next day. Here is a huge whoopsie from me http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/kateranderson/video/48233936

Disc on it's own works fine mind :)

Thanks :)

Now also available on Steam

Surge 2 announcement is very exciting! That went under the radar.

Thanks, love free DLC :D

I enjoyed what I played of the demo (Could see if thats still availible and try it out?) it is like the Dark Souls games but not as hard I hear.

No they would've bought nothing because I said it was free, please read carefully. You lied and told others "most" isn't free haha

People here buy things. They could have read your original unedited comment and paid money for something thinking all the dlc was going to be free. Now you edited it its more clear... Before it wasn't. Thankfully you edited it a few days later though.

I should say the same for you, it's a shame you can't act on your own accusations. ;( I'm not putting anyone at risk whereas you made it seem as if many of killers werent free lol :o

Well you wasn't. You edited your post. Be clear from the start next time (y) (flirt) (y)

It's a shame you didnt do the same, I'll be clear, most of it is free. The 2 paid ones include one of the worst killer in the game.

You can get the DLC for £2.40 right now on Gold Sale.

Is this worth it for the DLC?

Not the 20 year celebration although that is one sale for £2.40 or something.

Depends if you want to resell the disc version after completing it. You can't resell the download but you can game share with another person.

Whats the advantage of getting this over the physical preowned copy?

Is it free or do you need a subscription

I know lol. Just providing my short opinion of the game

Gold different

I noticed but it seems like quite a few people have problems with the Argentina store, whereas anyone can purchase from the U.S store. Still though, great shout for those that don't have those problems.

The season pass is very weak, just more of the same missions, of which there are already alot.

Caved in a brought ... had a free £5 credit so £10 cant go wrong ... cheers buzz

Ok i see you have to either be new or make a new account, so just made a new account and the code worked....so Skyrim again on the XBX, fingered crossed this is the platform finish it on. lol Heat, the game over 5 different hardware platfroms heat. lol

Already have it on PC. And on my Switch. Oh wait - and Xbox One. Darn you, Bethesda! I would fight back, until I took an arrow to the knee :( oh well...

Anybody getting code not valid, signed in card in basket, apply code...code not valid. :(

It is ok, the controls are not my cup of tea though, very jangly and not very intuitive, put me off it completely, works great with a joypad but the motion controls are just horrble, you are basically fighting with them constantly, and the menus are just horrible, no sense of being in total control, hack and slash weapons are ok but try and use a bow and you do not feel you are in total control of where it is going, magic is a bit better due to the fact it does not need to be a precise as a bow, but game still needs need a lot of work and i personally have no desire to try and use mods to fix yet another Bethesda game. lol Maybe try it in 6 months time and see if they have improved it, oh and i am using a 2 rift sensor setup, so i can't imgaine what the game will be like with just one sensor. :S

Doesn't show on my account as purchased. But downloads on the xbox.

Oh lol. Thanks for the 'splain.

You are joking right? That is 14 days remaining of the discounted price if you were to purchase it.

Why does it say 14 days remaining? I think its a timed trial. Because once I install it on the xbox, it doesnt show up under my already purchased list.

Worked on the browser with the ready to install.

The offer ended on the 11th April on the microsoft site.

Thanks for heads up on Amex but looked like it doesn't include the type cover.

You'll know that the 4GB will never manage photoshop with large photos, multiple layers and so on. On the other hand, I know first hand with experience of the 4GB devices that they'll function very well for everything else. I owned the SP3 from around its launch, and only upgraded to the 2017 SP last Black Friday. My workflow on my SP is pretty much the same every day. Office, NVivo, Mendeley, Onenote, Web, SPSS (Although that's being used less these days), Spotify, Skype, Media consumption. No graphics work, which is why 4GB works for me. Even if I were 'running out of RAM' the swap is sufficient for my purposes that I don't notice it. That will not be the case when you've got heave RAW manipulations going on. It sounds to me like the Surface Book 2 is the machine for you, but yeah, hopefully a deal will swing your way soon.

Got a powerful desktop for my design work so not sure the Surface Pro i5 8GB RAM is essential as I want it more for the tablet form factor. But 4GB feels like it definitely wont be enough. Kicking myself hard for not jumping on a Surface Book 2 deal/price glitch now as I'd much prefer a true laptop form factor that can become a tablet but not liking the alternative 2-1s when compared with Surface Pro.

The chances of getting a 4GB device to do reasonable in depth Photoshop is slim, but given that one of your alternative device will be a new iPad pro, it seems like the kind of photo editing you have in mind will work more than well enough on the 4GB surface pro.

I must have 100's of icon packs but keep missing the genuinely useful apps like this... Bah. Heheh!

Thanks OP. Great find! :)

thx OP (pirate)

(highfive) my little one will love this thanks

Mac needs something free like this.

That's the general response they've always had afaik. It will depend on who you talk to. It may have changed I guess, though other's were able to use it on the last eBay 20% offer not long ago. The last time I did it successfully was in January, and I needed to ask 3 different people. If they don't do it straight away I find there's no point arguing.

May have been in the past but no more. Spoke to them yesterday and they said that they can’t pricematch AO as it’s an online retailer only so doesn’t have the overheads of a store chain so it’s not an even playing field (their words).

In general that's true. It's why I said 'if'. I've had them match AO and eBay before, so it is possible ;)

JL don't price match online only retailers.

The only addition is the fingerprint reader. For me yes, but it's subjective. If you can get JL to price match AO with the Signature cover, then no, the extra warranty is worth more.

Same here, have reported as expired. Looks like I missed all of the end of financial year sales on the Xbox One S. Should've jumped at the Tesco £207 bundle. ;(

Doesn't work for me so guessing expired :(

Tesco you get 4 games (PUBG or Forza Horizon 3 with Hot Wheels DLC, Forza 7, Halo 5 and Far Cry 5 or Sea of Thieves), 14 days gold, 1 month game pass for £229. 2 extra games is a better deal than 2 weeks of gold, even if you sell the games its more money in your pocket. They shouldn't really advertise 1 month game pass as part of a bundle as it is standard with every Xbox one S 1TB and an extra 2 weeks of gold isn't anything special.

Suppose it depends what games you want, if you have played Halo, Forza and pubg then maybe this is better having sea of thieves along with FarCry. Not much in it value wise.

The Tesco deals stack so you can get console with PUBG, Far Cry 5, Forza 7 and Halo 5 for £229 (was £207 on Friday) which seems like a better deal than this

I bought some stale bread for 5p the other day. Anyone want the details?

So when a deal goes into moderation what exactly does it mean? If all the reduced food was posted here it would break the site.

Expiry date is 16.09.2018

Thy will reaching expiry date

There were about 5 packs left.

I forgot to try the Nvidia panel, as Windows 10 wouldn't do it - lulled you into a false sense of setting it to 75Hz and pinged straight back. Will have a look again when I get a chance :)

Yep, it's definitely 75hz, of you're familiar with the custom resolution settings in the control panel it's easy enough to get working. I did try 85hz but was out range, had to try though.

Is it 100% 75Hz if you frame rate test etc? Rather than misleading the user? I'll find out in an hour anyway but discussion banter etc.

The advertised refreshrate should be what's available at the native resolution so it's a little missleading, but as I said you can force it to work at 75hz/1440p so it's no big deal. Using i7 4870k/GTX1080 so the higher refresh is desirable even if it is only a small step above default.

Elsewhere says 75Hz only at lower than native resolution...? Hmm, doesn't affect me much (not sure I've got enough grunt to run anything at 75Hz 1440p), but will be interesting to see what is reality. Also - this is still available; un-expired it.
