Although I was going to wait till Xmas I'm now seriously tempted to go out and get the Xbox One as soon as I get paid at the end of the month.
What are the cheapest places to buy the console and accessories at the moment?
I'm thinking I'll want the following as a minimum:
Xbox One console + wireless controller
Play & charge kit
Chat headset
Kinect TV mount

make sure you have a decent internet connection
you need a play and charge kit
it comes with a chat headset
Thanks for your pointless reply.
i think you find that i have answered your questions ..
that you will need a play and charge kit, you do get a chat headset and be sure to have more than 1 meg or whatever so you can actually play a game within 24 hours..(actually i just pointed that out..);-)
unless you want my opinions on mounts for kinect....??
HAL9000 has been disconnected, it dying words were "daisy, daisy.."
Not really, you were being sarcastic and you knew fine well what you were doing.
OT: Amazon sells the XBO for the same price as the PS4 at the moment, with Titanfall included.
You, obviously, don't need the play and charge kit as you can just use normal batteries, however it's currently 19.99 in GAME (same price pretty much everywhere - but at least you'll get reward points!) . The headset you get with the XBO is fine, isn't great but it'll do. I don't find it the most comfortable thing ever, but it does it's job. There is a stereo headset from Microsoft, otherwise you'll need the XBO Headset adapter.
If I'm not mistaken (although could of just ended...), Game currently have buy one get one free on their Gameware range. Doesn't seem to be available on their website though. They also have an XBO pack, that includes their own range play and charge kit, kinect mount and some other goodies (can't recall what else), but this isn't on their site either and I can't recall the price

not at all..
Yes you were as you completely didn't answer the main question.
1. I have a decent internet connection. I assume this was a dig after everyone on the other thread telling you that your internet connection was a problem.
2. I know I need a play and charge kit... that's why it was in my list!
3. I know it comes with a chat headset, which is also why it was in my list of the minimum I would require.
I wasn't asking what I would need.
The list was what I said I was going to buy as a minimum (+ games obviously) and I wanted to know the current best places to buy them cheaply hence the question indicated with a question mark in the OP:
"What are the cheapest places to buy the console and accessories at the moment?"
well worth it..
Just seen in town from an independent game shop
Xbox One & game for £320.00
Shop around some good deals about.

I have one of these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/ORB-Kinect-Camera-Clip-Mount/dp/B00GH7UCJ4/
It was the only thing available at launch.
There are others available that look the same but have different branding.
PDP now does an officially licensed one with a bit that can cover the camera if you want:

I don't know how good the orb mount is. But I treated myself to the officially licensed one the moment it came out and I have found it a great great mount I really like that the camera is secured using a screw tread to the device and that the package includes a camera cover.
I bought one when i got my Xbox One in the UK but i forgot to bring it back to the Netherlands with me. I used batteries for a couple of months ad was genuinely surprised at how long they lasted (Duracells).
If money is tight then maybe leave the kit for a later purchase?
I may just do that. After all it's more money to go towards a game.
I think the Orb one is the mount my friend has.
The PDP looks like the one to go for though.
