Hello everyone,

I'd been planning to get Xbox One since its release about 2 years, if I am not mistaken. I really like its design, its UI, its Kinect features and also Microsoft commitment with its Console. I actually really like the once Game-Sharing features during the initial announcement of XboxOne but due to some political and/or "Fansboy vs Whatever" issue, it got dropped out.

I don't really follow PS news, but I always feel the now underdog Microsoft's commitment to Xbox One Consoles is no doubt and the recent features about Game Streaming to Windows 10 and 360 Games Backward Compatibility are superb awesome!

Now, the question is like any other typical gadget-buy question. Should I buy one now? Especially with Windows 10 coming to Xbox One in a few more weeks. Also, with Year End coming. Can I expect more deal?

Xbox Singapore is running quite a good deal now. For selected Xbox One purchase, could get 2 Games for Free - Sunset Overdrive and Zoo. Also, additional 25% Off for Controller and $20 Off for Xbox Live Gold 12 Months. I hope I didn't get the details wrong. Currently, got web error when trying to enter Microsoft Store SG of Xbox. Weird. Anyway, for Xbox One watcher here - is the current deal great? Or normally, end of the year will be much better?

I probably going to get the Kinect Bundle in Black, with Master Chief Collection but some part of me, like to got for the 1TB Forza due its clean blue design. I don't really like the Halo 5 Console, except its Controller though. I really like to have the Kinect to have the amazing full Xbox One experience. Can Astro be hook up and control with voice?

Not sure about the deals in Asia. Typically, other countries like US and UK will have Christmas/New Year deals, with markdowns/bundles/freebies. As for Windows 10, all Xbox One consoles will be getting it once it goes live, so it wouldn't really matter when to get it.

I never really tried using Astro on it, but from what I understand, the TV provider needs to be in the list of supported providers for it to work.

If I can give a tip, why don't you try buying Live subscription from cdkeys.com? They are quite a bit cheaper than other places. I now buy subscriptions and even games from them sometimes.

Thanks for the Link. Yup, the Live subscription is really cheaper.

Windows 10 is coming to all Xbox One on 12th Nov if im not wrong, year end sales is coming if you dont mind waiting you can get a better deal near Black Friday (27th Nov).

Buy the Xbox that comes with 1TB HDD else you might need to buy external HDD soon, games this days come in the size of 30-60gb updates might go above 10gb, a fast internet connection would be recommended. 5mb Unifi is the least you should have, else it will take you days to complete a 50-60gb game download lol.

True, I had also been advice on that HDD too. I think I will most probably get a 2TB version, as I most likely to go for 500GB version. Don't want to get the 1TB, save the money and add 50% to get an 2TB Additional. I think more worth. I can bring it around some more.

I will be getting the Xbox One sets from Singapore due to its 2 Years Extended Warranty option.

Adui, add this and that. The final price shakehead.gif doh.gif moneyflies.gif almost 3K. Adui.
I will wait for another month and see how again. The current free 2 games for Console Purchase @Singapore Microsoft Store is effective until end of this month. Perhaps, next month got some more special.
