Mobile phone network O2 has added the Xbox One to its in-store console line-up.

As detailed on the O2 site, Consumers can now pay £99.99 upfront for the machine as long as they sign up to a two-year £52 month contract.

For the money they get an Xbox One console, FIFA 14, 12 months Xbox Live membership and a Nokia Lumia 1020 Windows 8 smartphone.

Of course, that means that while potential customers face a significantly reduced outlay to acquire the machine they also face the prospect of paying £1,348 in total for the machine, although this cost is slightly offset by the fact they’re also getting a phone with some included usage.

O2 is offering a similar deal for PS4 consoles bundled with a Sony Xperia Z1.

Both deals are only available in stores.

It works out at about £520ish for the console side of it when you take into account the cost of the phone and the mobile contract. Not a bad deal really.

That'd be an amazing deal in the states since we're literally stuck with 2 year contracts anyway. And I have the Lumia 1020. Its an amazing,phone!!

I would take it. If I wanted a phone and a console.

I'd rather just pay for the console fully upfront.

Odd pairing for consumers given existing phone contracts. I wonder how offset the phone price monthly is.

Also lol, PS has the better hardware in phone while Xbox has the better camera!

lol no

Damn, I would have jumped on this!!

I hope they manage something similar here in Belgium, either Sony or MS, I don't care.

Dunno about the UK tariffs, but here in Belgium 60 euros a months is pretty standard (it's one of the most expensive countries for gsm services i think)

I would jump in.

I would buy it, but I would prefer one with only the console and xblg.

£52???? That's extortion.
