Major UK retailers Amazon and Game have lowered the price of their Xbox One consoles following the announcement of the slimmer Xbox One S model at E3 this week.
Xbox One 500GB consoles were selling for �250 or more – ie. what we know a 500GB Xbox One S will cost – but that has now changed.
The best Xbox One deals are on Amazon, where a 500GB Xbox One plus FIFA 16 bundle costs �209. The base 500GB Xbox One box is �230, and the 1TB Xbox One is �254, although it appears to be in limited supply.
GAME’s Xbox One 500GB FIFA 16/Gears of War: Ultimate/Ori & Rare Replay console bundles, meanwhile, are �230.
The Xbox One S will be available from August and introduces a 2TB hard-drive, internal power-brick, HDR support and a 4K Blu-ray drive – all in a 40 per cent smaller build. The Xbox One S is also slightly more powerful than Xbox One, but Microsoft told us this won’t affect game performance in any way. We talked to Xbox boss Phil Spencer about the Xbox One S at E3 as well.
The Xbox One S also comes with tweaked wireless controller that has a textured grip and better Bluetooth wireless technology for increased range.
The 2TB Xbox One S launch edition will cost �349, the 1TB edition �299 and the 500GB edition �249.
You can safely expect more discounts to existing Xbox One models in the build up to release.
The Xbox One S. Smaller.
