I have a week off work and spotted a good deal on a One S 1Tb with FH3, second controller, charging dock and XBL Gold for a few months. I know Project Scorpio is coming later this year (one would expect in time for Christmas) but I considered whether I'd really spend £400+ on the latest console and it's highly unlikely. Besides, my main justification for the One S was that it's a 4k Blu-ray player which just happens to play games...!

There seem to be a lot of places selling download codes for games (I'm thinking of getting Battlefield 1) but are they legit/reputable? If anyone can steer me in the right direction I'd be very appreciative!

There's sale starting today on the Xbox store and I'm pretty sure Battlefield One is in that so might be worth having a sniff around there first.

Brand new games are usually most expensive via the Xbox Store, but you can sign up for 'rewards' which give you (eventually) a couple of ££ back.

I usually wait a month and save 25% off the launch price, or go to CEX and buy then second hand.

Alternatively, Amazon, GAME or ShopTo have decent prices for brand new stuff - just check them all out each time as some are better than others for individual titles.

I use cdkeys quite a bit for my digital downloads, especially since I have a toddler in the house now with her own xbox controller!

I'd say check out the Xbox store sale, starts today and runs through to the 17th.

In terms of download codes. I've bought stuff from play Asia and Amazon...Don't know about any others I'm afraid.
