Just treated myself to Xbox elite 1Tb bundle,complete with new elite controller £399.99.
Intrigued by new hybrid drive, and what I've read here on the elite controller.
Should be delivered by Friday this week
|
|

Nice price mate for all that Gear,i have the Elite controller purchased from the Microsoft Store delivered last Thursday which on its own cost £120,so what you have there with the controller and the bigger drive is a nice Christmas present to yourself .
I will say the Elite controller is a beautiful looking bit of kit and its very impressive,i have yet to game with it but i have downloaded the Elite App from the store for the customisation ,something i suggest you do when you have it all set up and running.
I like the way its so easy to change the sticks and back pedals,they are magnetic and its a breeze to do.
I have Fallout 4 coming next Tuesday and Rise of the Tomb Raider the Friday after when i will be putting the controller through its paces.

Think I'm the only guy on here that has actually mentioned it,as of now i think I'm the only guy on here that actually owns one.
Did you buy the package direct from Microsoft store
|
|
Register (or login) on our website and you will not see this ad.
|
|
|
|
Yes,from Microsoft uk store, or attempting to, as status of order unchanged sadly, still showing as in process.
Got to wait until 12noon tomorrow and see what status order then says.
First time dealing with this store, so unsure how efficient they are?
|
|
|

I got my Elite controller from there mate and the service was very fast and fluent and arrived the very next day once i was informed it had been despatched.
I had a really hard time finding this product anywhere else,even the mighty Amazon had sold out and they did not know when they were going to be back in stock.
there are the obvious Sharks on eBay selling them for £250 [yes really that much] so the store was the only option.
Funny thing is the minute i bought it and revisited the site 30 minutes later they to were all sold out.
Tell you now mate you will be well impressed with this controller,and I'm very very fussy and it takes quite a bit to impress me.
What games do you intend to buy for your new console then,Rise of the tomb raider has to be one of them ?
|
|
|
|
Yes, rise of the tomb raider, fallout 4, are both on order from Shopto plus charger from Amazon that is specific for the elite control pad, about £23 if I remember correctly, it's out on Friday 6th November.
Be ordering more games, but obviously depends on Microsoft sending me the elite bundle
|
|
|
The controller uses standard batteries mate and comes with a set of duracells .
So I'm guessing judging by what you have on order you can use rechargeable
|
|
|
Just cause 3 has to be on that list matey
|
|
|
Glad you posted i have just ordered one myself with a set of rechargeable batteries. £24.99 released Friday like you said.
One of These
|
|
|
|
Yes, set of good quality rechargeable batteries included in the Amazon charger, keeping an eye on the remaining cash, as Christmas is fast approaching, make sure my sons get what they want, now I've got mine on order, will never let them down, as it's them that insisted I buy it ( honestly ) they're great lads like that, always thinking of me, and me them.
|
|
|
|
That's the one
|
|
|
Thats Sweet
|
|
|
Sweet
Seriously i didn't actually think you could use rechargeable batteries in it after reading the reviews of the Elite Controller......
So thanks for the heads up ..... .

Just had email from Microsoft store, goods dispatched so should be here on Thursday, so excited now!
|
|
|
Don't be surprised if that doesn't turn up tomorrow,i had similar email claiming 1/3 days and then when i checked the order it told me the following day.
|
|
|
Just need a few games next week and your be in Gaming heaven
|
|
|
Xbox elite, hybrid drive?
You'll make Old Man Timey jealous, he only has the elite controller. 
|
|
|
Very nice 
Surprised such a expensive controller has disposable batteries rather than a built in rechargeable one. The charger sorts things out but that's an added expense on a already expensive item.
|
|
|
Believe it or not Microsoft thought adding that facility would put the price up even more 
|
|
|
|
I prefer the idea of removable batteries, it's better than replacing the controller when the batteries die.
If you're using rechargeable batteries or even a battery pack you can also use a micro usb lead and plug and play.
|
|
|
|
Update, ups the carriers have screwed up, supposed to be here by 12 noon but nothing, rang number given, but as it's an call centre overseas, and package is coming from deeside, can't get through to them directly, so looks like I'm not getting what I paid for today
|
|
|
Agreed
The playstation 4 controllers don't last more than about 3 hours before they need charging again,then there is no initial warning until they are virtually dead,hence why i have 2 of everything
|
|
|
It be here today mate,you should be able to track it on the Microsoft email tracking number supplied
|
|
|
|
Yeah, been trying that since 12noon, the time ups tracking said it would be delevered by, but obviously nothing.
Ups are useless said depot would call back, didn't, and no way to get in touch directly with deeside depot, leaves me in limbo
Just spoke to Microsoft uk store, nothing they can do, just been told to wait which sucks!
|
|
|
I would say it will turn up today
My experience was as smooth as Silk .
Also remember that you were not expecting it originally until Friday so being that its only Wednesday i wouldn't be to concerned.
And you need games and if your a Cod Fan then Black Ops 3 is Friday ,Fallout 4 the following Tuesday and Rise Of the Tomb Raider 3 days after that.
Without games its a pointless unit my friend,all you can do is set it up and wait for the games to arrive.

Panic over, the big kids toys have arrived
First impressions are WOW!
Impressive packaging and that controller, more WOW!
Machine itself, purring like a cat, so little fan noise, especially after my last Xbox one, 500gig version, which wasn't silent but this new one is, fantastic
Got lots of games on order, fallout 4, rise of the tomb raider, and others, but let's get Christmas out of way first, before I continue splurging
Machine was supposed to be here by 12pm, but took phone call to Microsoft to get things moving, as it just arrived at 2.25pm
First impressions are 100% positive and looking forward now to trying out some next gen games, starting with fallout 4 next Tuesday and tomb raider following Friday
In the meantime I'll finish off tales from the borderland episode 5, game of thrones on the 17th November
Plus I'll give far cry 4 a go ( left over from previous Xbox)
Time to get to grips with this wonderful new controller
|
|
|
Yeah download the elite app from the store which should be your first priority ,since its a console deal did you get the nice case that the Elite controller usually ships with and all the different paddles
Glad your impressed with it like i said i am extremely hard to please but that controller is on another level even though its extremely pricey bit of kit.
|
|
|
|
Just downloaded it now, thanks for all your support
|
|
|
No problem don't disappear from the forum though as the posts are needed.
|
|
|
|
That is a good point but be nice if they provided the charger with it.
|
|
|
First impressions are 100% positive and looking forward now to trying out some next gen games,
Current gen
Glad your order turned up
|
|
|
|
Crazy, you would think a charger would come as standard.
|
|
|
|
True, current gen.
Got a bit carried away Today, too much stress by UPS
|
|
|
Crazy, you would think a charger would come as standard.
At that price you would. I suppose they think if you are willing to pay silly money for a controller then they can squeeze a bit more out of you for a charger
|
|
|
Correct See Swanny there are a few genuine Gamers on here
|
|
|
And guess what i have in my hand this morning.......B**** O** 3
Hardened Edition i may add......
|
|
|
|
I hope that's the only hardened edition you've had in your hand this morning!!!
|
|
|
Thats good matey........Like the humour .
But get it right.........Its HANDS not HAND
|
|
|
**shudder**
What a horrible thought. Thanks for that 
|
|
|
**shudder**
What a horrible thought. Thanks for that You can't take a thought like that back....
|
|
|
My charger turned up today
|
|
|
|
Mine too, just got it on charge now.
Good thing about elite pad I've found is if you have older game, like I have with farcry 4, there can be a clash with new buttons and in my case, for now, I've removed the hair triggers, and will restore them for fallout 4 and rise of the tomb raider.
Overall still in wow factor of both console and pad
|
|
|
Hope they have a preset for Fallout,it looks quite complex bit of kit with the customisation ,i just hope i got the patience to do some
|
|
|
|
I'm finding even without customisation that I prefer the weight and feel of the elite pad over everything else I've tried
|
|
|
Do you actually know how this customisation works,i mean will the new games realise that you have this controller and in the settings will it be listed or will it be the basic controller for Xbox One.
Im not to sure how all this stuff will work unless you have to sort of do it from within the App.
Will see what it does with Fallout 4 ��.Very Soon
|
|
|
Just so you know. I've pre-ordered Fallout 4 from sainsburys. Which means I've paid £2 deposit which I will refund if the price is stupid
|
|
|
|
New Xbox games "may be programmed" for the new pad but so far nothing has been announced, so at the moment, unless you program it yourself it will function like a regular pad.
Doesn't matter for me as I still prefer the weight and feel of the elite pad, I'll never go back to the cheapo pad.
|
|
|
|
Which version did you go for?
PS4 or Xbox
|
|
|
|
PS4
But hope to get myself a gaming PC soon so might get it for that too
|
|
|
|
Got PC gaming rig myself, but rarely use it now (son uses it more) as was fed up updating endless setting just to make it all work, something I don't need to do on my PS4 and Xbox Elite consoles, just slam disk in and all is well ( love the way PS4 updates as it installs).
|
|
|
Well makes no difference to me .
1....you are not on my friends list
2....I bought it for Xbox One
3....and its not multiplayer .
|
|
|
The point of been a Console gamer............
No hassle with all the problems associated with PC gaming .
|
|
|
Mine shipped today so it will be here Monday
