Microsoft Deals & Offers

I’m on a diet. I’m on a diet. I’m on a d- oh hell. *buys 20 packs*

The candy kitten sweets! Mmmm

This offer applies to one Sainsbury store in the whole of the U.K, good luck I say!

20p is the price Sainsburys stick on discontinued items. its pot luck a lot of the time it seems though, as they dont do it on every discontinued item. saw some sorta Candy Kitten peach sweets on clearance at 20p today but was none left. the other week saw some Aero bubbles at 20p. usually one of those things though that when they are that cheap , people usually take the full shelf

Store location ??

Yeah I know that. I uploaded the image to show the bold text showing that it was free for gold members.... and the dirty great install on xbox one button. :) I was just displaying it was free as there was a comment saying it was only a buy option. Thanks.

That's the price to buy it. If you click install it'll let you do so for free, and play it til Monday

i still play killing floor, well started again after a long time, and seems like they have updated a lot of things, still a fantastic game,

Thanks (highfive) I came across this by accident when I was just checking the offer price, should of really had a look at all that was available for free play this weekend but was past my old git bedtime when I posted

Also PES 2018 and Killing Floor 2. Can't be bothered posting as a deal so feel free to update your OP. :)

This killed me.. (lol)

I think he’s also released the Sonic 3D directors cut on steam workshop if you own Sonic 3D, otherwise there’s a patch available. Even if you think TT’s games are mediocre, its still worth checking out the channel for the impressive technical aspects eg. The FMV.

Kind of, you would need to use dev mode to side load an emulator. If you have a student email address or other qualifying method you can get a dev account for free using Microsoft Inspire/Dreamspark but otherwise it does cost some money afaik.

Fellow nerds should check out Gamehut on youtube, it's the developer of Sonic 3D, Toy Story, Mickey Mania, and various other games explaining how he put stuff in those games, and why the level select stuff often exists (a cheeky way of the game crashing but telling SEGA it was deliberate ha!), very interesting. He also does remasters too https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfVFSjHQ57zyxajhhRc7i0g

This is still overpriced even with the discount. For the 13.5" / i5 / 8GB / 256GB model, it's still over £1,200 which is crazy money. I'd rather buy an Dell XPS13, HP Spectre x360, Acer Swift 5 or any number of other laptops saving a few £hundred.

Not much good after Brexit....

Best keyboard on any laptop. Only downside is the weight of this machine - it's surprisingly heavy for a 13" lappy.

I have a Surface Book I with the dedicated GPU, but I don't think I've ever really used it. I run 2 monitors though the dock, and I only use it for work, no gaming.

No but i've heard of others trying it particularly with Apple and failing miserably. Putting that aside even 2 years isn't enough when spending out a couple of thousand on a laptop. Would you really be happy to write off something that expensive say 2 years and a month after buying it? Like I said it's one reason why i've bought Dell before because you can pay to extend the warranty to 4 years and 5 years on their business class devices.

This is what I keep worrying about and if it goes wrong I dont wana ruin the gift (present for fiance) :(

Is this a legit thing to do? Would it break microsoft uk t&c's.

Presumably there are lots of Polish hotels receiving copies of Xbox invoices to unknown guests in the post now?

On one of my comments above click the link where it says post as I've posted a pic of the Xbox One X delivered, came this morning via UPS.

I've still not ordered I'm too scared it wont work or I'll get done for fraud or something (:I

Is this the level you wanna stoop for a few hots, just being honest any one who kids themselves that they can buy something worth hundreds for a few quid is beyond saving, but please stop kidding yourself that this s legal.

Please provide one example of case law where MS have taken a consumer who has bought one of these to court or successfully recovered £600. And what offence has the consumer actually committed to be in criminal court? Scaremongering.

Ordered thanks. Worked perfectly for me. Cheers

Agree. It activates and assigns the licence to your account. Too many naysayers willing to pay extortionate prices.

i paid £3ish last year, i haven't checked to see if the key still works as i backed up the activation license, i restored it a few weeks ago and office is still working and updates are still downloadable

£1 for usb card reader in pound land, works for years also

I think it's designed to be for tablets / phones, you can use the curve as a doc

I think the idea is that you dock a phone or tablet in the curve at the front.

A bit of a strange design. If the wire comes out the top, it means it slops away from you. If the wire comes out the bottom, it means the text is upside-down.

I'm also killing myself to figure out where your £1000 of money goes too? (to be honest with you ... ) In former 'form' of SUFACE (it's former incarnation of SURFACE Tablet/Laptop 'hybrid'), you could successfully argue either way as to where your £1000 for the thing was going I guess?. But can you argue the same thing still though? (that's the real magic question ... ) It's definately not a Gaming Laptop, so your £1000 definately doesn't anywhere near there?. And where arguably more superior/sophisticated Laptop's on here are selling for sizably way less also, this being notably one of them: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/dell-xps-13-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-ram-256gb-ssd-133-qhd-rose-goldwas-114995-now-89995-john-lewis-2963603 And at John Lewis of all places as well (eg. inclusive of John Lewis's legendary warrantee's, etc). Then it beg's a few question's for sure in my book?.

Giving it a wipe works for me. Maybe I just have special skin.

Alcantara is used in all sorts of environments and cleans up well if using the right cleaning equipment. Maybe I'm not using mine enough, as its holding up very well so far.

Great price for a laptop that excels on style rather than substance; the power is more than enough for an "every-day user" and it having last year's processor is not a big deal given that it has an SSD and 8gb ram. Most of us (every-day users) won't notice the difference in 7th Gen and 8th Gen processors, so don't get too caught up on this point. It is the best looking laptop out there (beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that...) and that's why you pay a premium. If you are a "power user" then go for the Dell or HP Spectre/Envy. In summary - no laptop looks as good as this and it will have all the Dell and Apple fan-bois drooling. If some-one mocks your "processor generation", ask them to have a feel of your keyboard and then tell them to jog-on :-P More importantly, price drop is likely a signal of a refresh coming soon....

It sounds a lot but I’ve used it for just a week and I absolutely love it. It’s very quick to start, keyboard is great, is super light and very practical in terms of carrying it around or use in your lap and on top battery is superb. Don’t forget the touchscreen as well!

Do i have to be a student to use ir? I have office365 home and my license is abiut ti expire. Whats the difference betwern that and this Can i use this to renew my existing subsctiption?

How come this is a deal but the ones on amazon are not? I purchased two off amazon at £8 each and have had them over two years and not a problem? Is there something I’m missing?

I can get office business through work for £10, but I like all the features of Office 365: - 1 TB of OneDrive for every user - 60 mins to EU destinations per month - monthly release of office update - possible to install on PC and tablets (iPad or android) - all applications (including publisher, access and outlook) not just 4 applications

My lad has to use word for high school, but o refuse to pay ridiculous subscription prices; as such I will get online office or one of the others.

Nope i didn't, not much point in lying it doesn't get you anywhere in life

Seems like a good deal, nothing within 100 miles of Glasgow either though.

That's because you edited it.

Uhhhh maybe read the title again and you will clearly see "Microsoft xbox one s" (lol) ok??

Funny how in the title there is no mention that this is for the Xbox One S, but that is made very clear on the website itself.

Where

Turns out it’s one device per person. Still good thoUgg

Not that special really, can get a 1tb version with games for not much more

Trade ins usually get sold on in developing markets, if they can't offload a Nexus 7 in the markets they operate in then they're just not going to offer anything for it.

Looks like you can... However: They offer £1 but the Microsoft store £25 for the ASUS GOOGLE NEXUS 7 2013 WI-FI 16GB, the off £0 for the ASUS GOOGLE NEXUS 7 2013 WI-FI 32GB which is the exact same model but with more storage. Maybe a mistake by Microsoft.

You can now flip the Y axis in the xbox system menu! Thus rendering the game playable (for me anyway). Mind boggling that they didn't add the option in the HD version after everyone complained that it was missing from the original.

Thanks thought so!

Nah still an issue, kind of annoying camera controls

Cracking game. Haven't played it since I did originally on the Gamecube. Keep meaning to give the HD version a go

Yes it was in August 2016

It’s there in offers on my app. Platinum cashback I think. Good deal for sure. Wish there were better Xbox One X bundles.

I have Amex gold, silver, business etc. how do I activate this offer, any link? I checked in mobile amex app, cant see any microsoft offer which I can activate

Yeah I was thinking the console was going to break the glass shelve it sits on. Fans are louder than the PS3 phat and the first Xbox 360s. God of war and uncharted 4 are the worst for making the fans go in overdrive.

Yeah to be fair that's the top of most people's list, for me there isn't much in any of them as they all look fantastic. Tomb raider was the first to wow me but since then I've been impressed with a number of games, assassin's creed origins and wildlands certainly look the part too.

I disagree. Gears of War 4 on the Xbox One X has better graphics.

I hear ya on gow, the map screen is basically a no go.

Always resolution over framerate, I prefer 30hz for cinematic games and 60hz for racing shooters etc.

Poor poor advice ;) only kidding!

Just get this: from Argos for £179.99 And then get a Game Pass and you get all these games and save yourself 50 pounds

Why not just check the dates..

Yes I love the HP beans too, they were the best in my opinion.

It's part of their business model to do what? What products are you speaking about? I mentioned "branded" products as they're the only ones you can do a straight like for like price/quality comparison. Anything else is gong to be a subjective assessment. And going back to "use By" dates, there's at least one business sells nothing but short and past their date items. They couldn't do that if there were food safety issues.

It's not utter sh1t- it's part of their business model. Also, I didn't mention "branded products". You seem to equate branded foods with quality, which is both foolish and shortsighted.

Heinz aren't what they used to be but can be much improved by adding a little bit of salt and a little bit of sugar, the removal of which may be one of the reasons they don't taste like they used to.

Mine was mainly used for Netflix, apps etc but not even using it for that now I’ve upgraded to a newer smart tv

Nope, I hardly use your Xbone either.

I’m tempted, but my Xbone is getting less and less use these days... I can’t be the only one

Still comes to about £80 when my son has finished designing his with all the extra add-ons (annoyed) (previously came to £85 before this offer).

I go through an xbox one controller every 6 weeks. And I only play Fifa about twice a week. Left stick breaks all the time. I must be heavy handed. Argos swap it as under guarantee. Would love to buy a more robust controller. My xbox360 controllers lasted years with no issues.

So you're interpreting 2 experiences from numerous of years in education as a sign that educators push liberal agendas? Right. That's so ridiculous, I think the Mail would snap you up as a journo tomorrow. You have no idea the training, regulation and effort we go through to ensure students aren't manipulated. Especially at present with the current political, a religious climate. Students and staff are rightly entitled to their own beliefs and equality, but that's never forced. You're sprouting opinions off as facts, and you don't know what you're on about.

Maybe it's just American colleges but I am sure it happens here, I am saying it's a brainwashing machine that's crazy but I am saying they'll try to sneak in their politics Its not just college, I remember in my High school whilst learning about reproduction their was a abortion debate, my History teacher was talking about Karl Marx and Communism like it's a good thing which it isnt My English teacher once randomly started talking about Socialism and how she supports it

As someone that's worked in colleges and universities I'm curious where you've pulled this 'fact' from? Pretty sure you're clueless...

Not just Americans, most college kids, colleges push liberal agendas on their students

Decent. Just bought
