It's a little weird that they choose not to have the 500GB versions on the 2 big marketing deals they have and the only thing I can think of is they still have a lot of 500GB stock left and they will launch the 500GB bundles later this month but even so launching after the games have been out a month would be just as weird.

Well I won't be getting my Xbox one X this week damnit. The first shipment is sold out in Finland and I pre-ordered too late so I'll be getting mine 17th of November earliest. Even if they haven't shipped many units this is still pretty nice, there seems to be some hype around for X1X :)

Hey guys. I just bought Shadow Of War online at a website. It was $61 Australian dollars so about $45 or so USD!!!
Thought I'd share it with everyone here if anyone was interested but waiting for a price drop. Comes with day one dlc too. The code also does work internationally, I can personally confirm.

They delivered the code instantly after confirming my phone number. Make sure to use PayPal though. It was only my first purchase from the site though I think I remember Barozi mentioning that he's also used them before.

Yeah I did though back when I purchased my stuff I never had to confirm my phone number. Though it's not the first time I heard that. Must be a "new" thing. I pretty much only buy my EA Access codes from there. They sometimes have an offer where 1 month EA Access costs about 2€ (50% off).

I did purchase the game from my phone. It's quite possible they knew. Either way, I was happy with the extra bit of security considering it was my first time using the site even if it is something quite easily worked around. Saved me nearly $40... Xbox games are $99.95 here. The main reason why scarcely buy digital games without them being on sale.

Do they typically have any other good deals?

I usually don't buy any AAA games there, as I can often get them cheaper physically.

Those key selling sites mostly offer the same games. I would say the only good deals you'll find there is for launch window X1 games and BC 360 titles.
AC Unity is frequently available for under 1€. Dance Central Spotlight is 3.40€ right now (also been sub 2€ at several occasions). I remember Halo MCC being ~6€ at some point.
Basically everything that has been bundled a lot in digital form will be very cheap sooner or later.

Ah thats a shame did you only just find out you missed the day one shipment or had you know for a while now as just finding out now would be a little dissapointing :(

I think my X should be arriving tomorrow as I was charged at the weekend and have a tracking code but it's not live on the courriers site yet until they recieve it but I might not actually be in tomorrow to take the delivery depending on when it arrives so I might have to reschedule it if thats the case to Friday or Saturday which would be a shame :)

What? You recently finished Roblox even though you knew you could've played it a few days later with an Xbox One X enhancement patch ?!?!?!? You're missing out!

Seriously though, no love for Super Lucky's Tale in 4k?
I remember when I didn't play any cross gen game on my 360, so I could enjoy them once I bought my X1. 1.5 years after launch.

I've not played to much at all sicne E3 really that I thought would be enhanced and skipped out on a lot this past 2-3 weeks as well I've just been clearing up some achievements in various games instead :) I was planning to wait to play Super Lucky's Tale on the X but since it arrived early I tried it and just got addicted until it was complete :P

I didn't even know what ROBLOX was until a few days ago lol I saw a tweet about earning 25m achievements for charity and first reply was "Everyone needs to download ROBLOX" so i did :D just gotta spend 10 sec a day for the next 15 days booting it up for 400 more GS lol

Dishonored 2, Final Fantasy XV and Mafia 3 seem to have gotten their Xbox One X patch.

Judging by the previous games, those updates will likely be over 100GB. Without any of the 4k assets.....
