Good Afternoon Everyone!
I just won an Xbox One X
I own a PC and PS4 Pro and have never had an Xbox One before, what cheap exclusives do you recommend I purchase?
I am leaning toward Halo Wars 2 and Gears of War 4!
Any bargains laying around?
I won an Xbox One X, Please recommend me some XB1 bargains

Order for 1X Xbox One X console left JB-Hi-Fi warehouse yesterday, en-route to my location via Toll Express Post. Rang JB and confirmed this.
There are many different types of scams, some using unwitting stooges to con/recruit others. There is barely a games journalism industry in Oz so a random review is worthless. The value is the information of other suckers to sell.
There have been individuals who have won previously. Check their Facebook page. A young woman won a Star Wars PS4 Bundle and many other tech.
@Frugal Rock: So you are saying that there is no console on the way to my location? But instead perhaps a trap of some sort? Hmm, I will be vigilant!
@ThePriceMatchGuy:
No. I am saying that it isn't commercial to give free high price products for random reviews. If you get something free, you are being used as a stooge for them to sell other people's information.What's their ABN?
LMAO this guy
i hate you
:(
Ozbragging.com.au
Wait, that site’s legit?
Go to their Facebook page, there are videos of past winners. A young woman even won a PS4 Star Wars console from them.
I'm gonna lend my friend from craigslist an iPhone X and record a video saying he won it, then take it back and pay $50 for his time.
Why would you do that? lol
@ThePriceMatchGuy: Because I want to make my facebook page to look like people are actually winners so I can reel in some gullible people
@18: I wish you the best of luck in your travels, friend. Not sure if you read my comments above but I have contacted JB-Hi-Fi and have confirmed 1x Xbox One X is en-route to the specified location.
You forgot to declare your association.
my association?
With the store, advertising it in all its glory :)
dude, what store? haha I simply just wanted some insight as to what exclusives are best. Also if any deals are active for those 2 games..
@ThePriceMatchGuy: Oh ok then congrats I guess and all that flowery stuff, but why don't you just look for yourself cheap exclusive games?
Btw - don't say 'won a free xbox', that is just asking for people to call it a scam.
@Frugal Rock: Plus the use of excessive exclamation marks! Like they are everywhere! You won! This isn't advertising! 100% not scam!
@ThePriceMatchGuy: A bloke can be excited about winning something.
But
a) Posting it on Ozbargain just for the "look at me" effect is disgusting.
b) Wording and formatting it like a scam makes people suspicious
c) Hiding the actual true intention of the post, deals on games, is pointless.If you weren't bragging, you would have put the title as "Deals on Halo Wars 2 and Gears of War 4", but you didn't.
You must have come on here for advice then. Nope, you turn down and go all defensive on advice given.
You aren't associated with the store, so you can't even be advertising. Rule that one out as well.
Process of elimination, you just came here to brag. Refer to point a)
@omgitzrick: Yes disgusting. People who basically just showcase look at me how great I am is disgusting.
Saying, I won an Xbox X is one thing. Bragging about it here, wording it like a scam and shifting the focus from bargains on a game to yourself is another.
I suggest you look at the first version of this.
You should read their privacy policy..
Congrats on your new Xbox, but be aware you are in for a lot of spam calls.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ which has a Privacy Call feature. Instantly detects phone numbers that are related to spam/ surveys etc.
I have a gmail account that recognises spam emails.
Lol your "privacy call" feature won't work all the time. Especially if there is just random mobile numbers calling you.
congrats OP!
Dunno why all these haters are being saltyI'm not sure if I am defined as a "hater" or not (hint: I'm not) but if a website called something suspicious such as ProductTesting.com.au - note the capitals in a hyperlink - just told you that you had won a free Xbox you just had to give over your personal details, would you just blindly accept that?
A little bit of backbone and reality, please.
Look on their Facebook site at their past winners who have been selected and have reviewed, please.
The email I provided them is an aging email I created when I was 13. The address I provided is an investment property of mine and telephone number? I just won't answer. Why can't Australia just say YES!
Australia has said yes today. Well 62% anyway.
Telephone number? I just won't answer
Lol if only life was that simple. You seem to think it will come up with their name before you answer. Or that they only have one number.
@pennypincher98: I ONLY pick up phone numbers of contacts in my phone. Unless they use my parents' phone, fair play to them..
If it’s so legit why not give them your current details. Like to know where it’s getting delivered to. Better hope your tenant doesn’t think he has won an Xbox. Post the tracking number.
@sraymond: Because my current home is being renovated. I did not want to provide my temporary address and I pass my investment property from work.
I only pick up phone numbers of contacts in my phone
Was that before or after you signed up? Fair enough but either you have a lot of contacts or you were getting a lot of scam/spam calls.
You are also being inconsistent, a fair indicator that you are lying. Why would you need your phone to detect numbers that are for surveys/scams etc if the only people who could access you was your contacts??
@pennypincher98: In general, it's just something that I've got used to. I think it's fair to say everyone receives spam/annoying phone calls. I personally have not received any I can remember from said site.
@ThePriceMatchGuy: I've had my number for at least three years. I can easily count on one hand the amount of times I have received a telemarketing, scam, spam, annoying call or even misdialled number.
My mum signed up for free samples from a seemingly legit website in her Take 5 magazine. She has never got an email from that website, but now all of a sudden everyone from Kogan to Autograph are emailing her.
Needed, two lovely ladies for prank show. Malaysian KL airport location.
Don't forget the $500 Coles voucher on your way out!
Cool story bro…….
'LOL' would have been far wittier, except that would take intelligence and awareness.
No, actually it wouldn't
@Mikinoz:
Did you get a bit excited with your ellipses, or didn't you want to take your shoes off to count them? Convince me that appearances are deceiving and you are not some gormless townsfolk. It's unclear if you write in shorthand, or think in it.@Frugal Rock: lol there you go happy now or do you feel the need to right another paragraph about how superior you think you are?
@Mikinoz:
'right' sums you up perfectly. That's why you self-consciously keep your sentences small and snipe unoriginal memes. Go on. Try the 'w' to 'r' typo excuse. The superiority in this case is no complex. I'm surfeiting on an embarrassment of riches in the thinking department. Yes, there will be comments that are over your head, considering that primary school English escapes your grasp.@Frugal Rock: wow well arnt you a keyboard warrior. You like insulting people over forums huh, touch a nerve did I lol
Keep stroking your ego and congrats on your well formed sentences hope it gets you somewhere in life other than trolling ozb
@Mikinoz:
You might well have touched your nerve, lolled@yourself, in lieu of any discernible neural activity. Look after your strictly limited resource, and always use safety scissors more broadly tipped than your nostrils. Special wishes, Arnt.
Not trying to be a hater, but I definitely believe that you are trying to promote the website. Firstly, you are using a clickbait title. Why wouldn't the title be, "Any bargains for XX?"; you are clearly trying to get our attention for your competition page. Secondly, your first body sentence is you listing the website link. Lol. Is that necessary? Why can't you just say "I won an Xbox and leave it at that?" or by answering soemone in the comment who may ask "What website did you get it from?". That's obviously trying to get your website out there. Also, you explain on how you did won trying to make it look 'easy' so people will try it for themselves with your "all I have to do is XXX". As well as bolding the word free.
If you ask me, this all adds up to someone trying to either promote their scam, or promote their website.
My goodness, I didn't expect people to think that I was scamming others! haha I listed the website as context as to where I won it, people would have asked "OMG where from?!"
I've just changed the title. Three reports that it was spam (worded like one) which I modified. I hope you don't mind.
Thank you, I'll even remove the website if that makes people happy! haha and unbold everything!
Hi Scammer or Whatever…… Welcome to OZB. Now Get ready for being Trolled…
I am not new to OZB and have posted many deals regarding Price matching as my name suggests.. Why have the allies forged are now turning against me?
When did you win?
is your name Patrick O'Neil?Lol he will obviously tell you over a public forum.
I mean selling your information to companies is one thing, but blatantly putting it out there for the world to see is just stupid.
The second rule of prize club is don't buy accessories for your prize until the prize actually shows up.
You can probably guess what the first rule is.
Hey OP, I might be able to recommend a few exclusives. I also have a Pro, a decent gaming PC and the 1X.
Decent exclusives I own are:
Halo MC and Halo 5
Sunset Overdrive
GOW Collection and 4
Quantum Break - wasnt too bad but not Alan Wake level. Also yes these bottom two are on PC too.
PUBG also gets a release in December - suits me as I prefer playing with a controller rather than KB/M (each to their own)
Rare collection is alright tooOther than that I have a few great XB360 titles that have backwards compatibility. This may or may not be your cup of tea but a great opportunity to replay some games from last generation like Red dead redemption, elder scrolls oblivion, Battlefield Bad company 2, Cod campaigns and more.
would you recommend Halo Wars 2? Defs going to get my Gears on! Loved watching the series and even played it occasionally at different Gaming events.
Sorry I havent got round to Halo Wars just yet so I can't speak on that front. Gears can be good fun - currently playing through number 4 at the moment.
Also keep an eye on CDkeys.com when they once in a while have their 12 months of Xbox Live for around the $45 mark.CDkeys.com reliable for that sort of stuff? Never have bought digital content through a reseller before!
@ThePriceMatchGuy: theyre fine. Have never had an issue with them before and i buy a bit. their prices lately are nothing amazing though but usually better than g2a.
I recommend Forza Horizon 3 if you are after a laid back racing game.
Yeah great game.
dont just look for a cheap game, look at a game that takes advantage of the xbox x hardware.
Unless your holding it u haven’t really won or got it.
I'll PM you a pic of me with the console! Should be picking it up tomorrow!
Is there anything in the T&Cs about the usage of your likeness/image/details in future promotions?
I believe there is, regarding future promotions and I have seen previous winners' photos used to endorse other offers. I don't mind that.
halo master chief collection
I have an Xbox and I like to play rainbow six seige
Halo wars 2 is soo much fun <3
Really? :) I love my strategy games so I can't wait to get into this!
well…its a very basic strategy game but thats why i like it as the games tend not to go longer then 30 mins on average- is why i love LOL so much :)
Are you Georgios Skoufezis? xbox one x winner?
I cannot confirm nor deny that. But Yiasou my friend!
Don't worry too much about some of the comments here, if people bothered to flick through your post history, things like use of exclamation marks shouldn't be so suspicious. People I think are just a little on edge about sockpuppeting and advertisers posing as ozbargainers especially with all the hailcorporate stuff on reddit. They don't realise that if they were writing a post about winning something, they might've written it in a very similar way!
Salty people talk about privacy here, then apply for free credit reports, cashrewards, and give their credit cards to China for discounted landfill.
You had me at discounted landfill. I'll PM you my credit card details.
I'm not gonna jump on the bandwagon I'll just recommend you some exclusives. If you have a PC and a PS4 already though you now just have a glorified Forza machine tbh.
Sunset Overdrive
Rare Replay Collection
Halo 5 / Halo Master Chief Collection / Halo Wars 2 (crossplay with PC)
Gears of War 4 (crossplay with PC if you buy on Microsoft store)
About a million Forza titles (horizon 2&3, Forza 5,6,7)That's about it as far as exclusives go. Everything else you can play on PC and PS4. (Gears 4, Halo Wars 2 and Forza Horizon 3/Forza 7 can be played on PC)
Good luck having the item delivered by Toll…
Why's that? I've had several experiences with Toll here in the NT and all have been wonderful.
If you're looking to purchase some games for your x-box, hold out another week till 24/11 for the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Can usually pick up some good bargains during this time.
Do you reckon COD-WW2 will be any cheaper than $64 from BIGW ?
Don't buy any games, just subscribe to the Xbox Game Pass.
Halo 5 is already in there, and Gears of War 4 is being added on December 1st, too.

How does Xbox game pass work do you get to keep it if you lose it or stop paying for it?
The Witcher 3 is great. I think there is a GOTY edition out now with all the extras too.
alright alright ~ real question time ~ so how much do you want for it?
haha! I've never owned an Xbox One before so I'm kind of excited to now have access to all 3 gaming platforms! (Ps4 and PC already had)
I guess OP was at the Microsoft Summit this week? :)

Fits the 100 scam point check.
