The Big W deal for a $299 Xbox is a spectacular price but I believe has sold out in all/most stores across the country.

This deal seems to be the cheapest you can actually get your hands on at the moment, and because it's at the Microsoft online store, at least you know it'll be in stock.

$329 gets you a console, a controller, a copy of Halo 5, and one of four games (Rise of the Tomb Raider, Forza, 6, Gears of War UE, Rare Replay).

There are better overall packages out there if you want the games, such as:
$379 for a 1TB console, Halo 5, Quantum Break https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/253081
$478 for a 1TB console and a stack of great games https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/253065

But if you're on a budget then this deal is hopefully of value to someone.

UPDATE: Thanks to Wade for pointing out that in addition to those four games you also get your choice of one of the following:
Your choice of:
* Fallout 4
* Star Wars Battlefront
* Tom Clancy's The Divisoon
* Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege
* Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2
* Call Of Duty: Black Ops III
* Assassin's Creed Syndicate Gold Edition
* LEGO Marvel's Avenger
* Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
* Far Cry 4 Complete Edition
* Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition
* Dishonored: Definitive Edition
* Mad Max
* LEGO Jurassic World
* Just Dance 2016
* Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Starter Pack
* Skylanders SuperChargers Starter Pack
* Grand Theft Auto V
* Batman: Arkham Knight
* Rory Mcllroy PGA Tour
* NBA 2K16
* Madden NFL 16
* WWE 2K16
* Ubisoft Trials Fusion The Awesome Max Edition

    Dirt cheap for what you're getting, and from an official source no less.

    Surely this is a clearout sale readying for the Xbox One S?

    • scuderiarmani on 20/06/2016 - 11:49

      Most likely yeah, I'll be holding off till the Scorpio next year before I am inclined to get another. Already shifted to the Elite from the launch model, the S is little pointless given the already announced successor IMO.

      • KentT on 20/06/2016 - 12:24

        the S is little pointless given the already announced successor IMO.

        It's for new buyers, not upgraders. The S versions aren't meant to be exciting. Just smaller and cheaper to manufacture.

        I'm surprised it got any new features at all.

          @ubcool:
          And 4K upscaling, and HDR, and 4K streaming (i assume).

          With no price increase, it seems like a good deal if you have a 4K HDR TV.

        • scuderiarmani on 20/06/2016 - 13:22

          I know it's for new buyers, but if you announce there will be a genuine reason to get a better one in a year, it's really dead in the water IMO.

        • ubcool on 20/06/2016 - 13:40
          +1

          @scuderiarmani: might appeal to the more casual gamer whos more in to movies and to be honest the graphic improvements between console generations are getting smaller and smaller now.

        • Smigit on 20/06/2016 - 13:42
          +1

          @scuderiarmani: there's a good chance next years will cost more. Considering its supposed to be forwards and backwards compatible, they may sell Scorpio and the One S side by side for some time, with the One S being a cheaper option and the Scorpio the high end choice. Actually I'd be surprised if they don't sell both of them in this fashion for a few years, especially if games work across both.

          People still but the 360 so it's not that dead in the water. For people getting a new TV it's also probably the best option for 4K Bluray support.

        • RocketSwitch on 20/06/2016 - 14:46

          @scuderiarmani: I think it's a great upgrade. Sell the old X1 and get this one when on the cheap. Save space, no internal power brick to worry about, 40% smaller, much needed GB increase and supports streaming 4K, what's not to like considering the new console would cost about $600+, it's a smart release.

        • scuderiarmani on 20/06/2016 - 15:11

          @justmiike:
          You don't know what the console will cost yet. A better GB increase is simply adding an external storage, which all Gold Members should have by now given Games with Gold. 4K streaming is a bit niche now anyway, in 12 months when the new one is announced it's likely to be a little closer to normal, mind you I wouldn't hold my breath for a lot of 4K content even in 12 months.

          And the new one, has a far more useful feature, 4k gaming. While the AAA games likely won't push it, I'm sure something will.

  • nubzy on 20/06/2016 - 11:49

          @RI4V4N:

          Bluray quality shits all over netflix, in both audio and video.

          Civic Video still has $1 Tuesdays. I can watch a movie for $1, on better visuals than my local cinema.

        • RI4V4N on 20/06/2016 - 17:28

          @McFly:
          Haha "lease" lol. Íf it's on your computer it isn't leased. It won't dissapear if you back it up. Using the itunes or google play store for movies is about as much of a pleb move as buying blu-rays.

        • RI4V4N on 20/06/2016 - 17:29

          @StickMan:
          Who said anything about netflix. Regardless I think thats untrue, netflix can stream in 4k.

        • StickMan on 20/06/2016 - 17:51
          +1

          @RI4V4N:
          There's more to video quality than resolution. Bandwidth is major player here, which Netflix can't compete with. For comparison: Netflix recommends 25Mbps for 4K streaming. Bluray 1080p is max 40Mbps, while 4K will be >108Mbps.

          Neither can it compete with uncompressed linear PCM 8 channel audio, which maxes out at 27Mbps on bluray.

          And yes, there is a visible/audible difference of Netflix vs bluray even on 1080p content currently.

        • MrSammyMcG on 20/06/2016 - 22:11

          @RI4V4N: But if your XBL/ PSN account ever gets banned for whatever reason (I've heard of some pretty odd or simple and unnecessary reasons to do so), you lose all games and purchases on the one account without refund. Had this happen to a friend and he lost like $500 worth of games.

        • silverrat23 on 20/06/2016 - 22:19

          @MrSammyMcG:

          What did the friend do to get a ban? (and lose the games)

        • RI4V4N on 20/06/2016 - 23:13

          @StickMan:
          Again, was just pointing that out with netflix, was not talking about streaming.

          @RI4V4N:

          … and therefore (generally) not owned either.

          @StickMan:

          I watch movies on a crappy 720p projector and have fast bigpond cable, but blu-rays still look miles better than netflix.

          @silverrat23: He lost the password to his account and called customer service to ask them to reset it and they banned him because it said he was born in 1927 when he wasnt.

    For anyone looking at multiplayer gaming, just a heads up that the 500G consoles don't come with a headset anymore.

    So just need to factor that (relatively small) cost into all this. I believe 1TB models come with one.

    • Rusty4 on 20/06/2016 - 13:04

      iPhone/Mobile headsets work for this also (as long as the controller is one of the new ones with the 3.5mm jack, which I believe it is)

    Please help advicing me regarding Kinect for Xbox 1

    I purchased Xbox1 500GB from BigW deal ($299).

    When i was looking to buy Kinect, its costing $160 or over.

    In mocrosoft store, Xbox1 500gb with Kinect and 3 games is selling for $399. Which is $100 more than BIG W. But to buy a kinect its costing more than $100.

    I'm thinking to return my purchase from BigW and buy from MS store. Please shed your thoughts

    • expertreader on 20/06/2016 - 17:43

      From what I heard, Kinect has been abandoned by most game developers. After initial couple of good games, no good games have come on it. Think again if you really need Kintect. If you do then Microsoft deal looks much better than Bigw

      • StickMan on 20/06/2016 - 17:53

        Correct. Kinect WAS mandatory, now it's not. Without Kinect, games can harness more of the console's power. Xbone is underpowered as-is, so no AAA game will add in cool Kinect features.

        And since it's not mandatory, the install base is too small for standalone Kinect titles to be developed.

        tl;dr Kinect v2 is dead.

    I called up the MS store customer service to ask about getting the old controller replaced with a new one with the 3.5mm jack (turns out I do care :P), and they sent me a replacement for free and didn't even require me to return the old one, so I guess that worked out well!
