A question about : Xbox one price in January?

Do you reckon the price will go up in January or will there be better deals to be had?

I am in no great rush to get an Xbox one, but I would quite like it for GTA 5 and COD.

I could even wait out to spring time if the price was to come down again.

A few years ago I got my 360 for Ј250 with 4 games, would like a similar deal again, although that may be some time away.

Best answers:

  • I think it's going to be at least another two years before it's Ј250 with four games, perhaps Ј250 next Xmas period with, say, one or two latest games.
    The console has still got to last the generation which could be anywhere between 5-7 years yet - the big price drops have already happened so it'll only be a slow and gradual drop now until the end of the generation unless they bring out a "slim-line" console, which usually happens around 2-3 years in - this will of course push up prices on the new design console, or maintain the current price for a longer period whilst the old model is sold out and manufacturing stop on it.
  • Really? As long as that?!
    I am hoping that the sales dry up from January onwards for a while .......in hope that the price goes down.
    I am not as much of a gamer anymore and cant justify spending 300, but 250 is probably acceptable if I had a game or two.
    GTA 5 is what I want really. Dont care about much else
  • I don't see it being that price for the foreseeable in the new market - simply put the cost of the console to produce is high & the cost of the games is also high. We've seen some "flash" bundles for under Ј300 but I don't see the console sliding under Ј300 regularly this side of the summer, it's not struggling that much.
    I've been proven wrong in the past, but I don't see it happening any time soon.
  • Ј262.55 in sainsburys after staff discount with blag flag and unity if you know anyone who works there. Otherwise it was Ј309.00
