On their site the Nokia lumina 1020 is £37/month with no upfront fee. that mean you'll pay £15/month for 2 year to include the xbox.

429(xbox)-99(upfront price) = 330 +2 *50(live) = 430 (value that you get) - 24*15(what you pay) = 70(bonus)

So you end up saving £70 over 2 year that's not bad at all. (without including the game)
of course it is only good if you want the smartphone.

That's insane....but yet people are calling it a good deal.

Look at the post above yours.

I don't like contracts at all. I would rather just purchase the xbox, and pay a significantly reduced rate for phone service. So hence, bad deal overall.

me me me. Bad deal for you, don't speak for others.

Not to mention, that's like me saying getting a car I don't want on a similar basis is a bad deal ... it's not a bad deal, it's just not one I'm interested in.

Aggressive, I admit.

What? First off, wrong phones, second even of those the Xperia Z is better in screen, resolution, battery, camera, you, and is waterproof. That site just gave a higher score to the Nokia, the hardware is still better in the Z.

The Z1is far the better phone. The 1020 has a nice camera but it's nothing special outside of that.

Edit: I did not write "you" in the list of better things. My phone did it on its own and I just noticed it. Sorry, lol.

users gave it a higher score as well

Wow, i know a couple of friends that would benefit from this deal in the states. Not many of us have the money up front. It includes a game and 12 month live. SWEET!!!!

It is a bad deal, considering you can get quality phone service for significantly cheaper without contract, and you canbuy an Xbox separate. Then again, people like to waste their money on contracts deals like this.

Bad deal overall. Now if you are dead set on getting both an xbox AND this service, then sure the deal is alright.
