Xbox One price slashed by £45 with coupon trick
Retail chain Toys R Us will deliver an Xbox One for £383 if customers take advantage of a new coupon offer, representing a saving of £45.
And Sony's PS4 UK price is cut to £311 (a saving of nearly £40) if the same trick is applied.
Games deals blog Savvy Gamer has discovered that customers can receive a 10 per cent discount on their next purchase if they buy certain items.
One of the cheapest qualifying items is a plastic Xia Xia Shell, worth £1.
Following the purchase of this, the 10 per cent discount can be applied to either the Xbox One or PS4. Toys R Us is retailing Microsoft's next-gen system at £420, which is already about £10 below the UK RRP, while it is selling the PS3 for the £339, also £10 less than the announced RRP.
The additional discount deal brings the Xbox One price down to £384 delivered (plus £1 for the Xia Xia Shell), and the PS4 price to £312.
Terms and conditions on the ten per cent discount, which are available here, do not state that an Xbox One or PS4 is exempt from the offer.
However, it is not clear if Toys R Us is willing to keep the loophole open.
Customers have until July 31 to buy an item that activates the coupon, and the 10 per cent discount can only be redeemed in August.
Microsoft has confirmed an Xbox One release date of November 2013. It will go head-to-head with Sony's console, with the PS4 release date currently set as "holiday 2013".

For $600 everyone might as well just build there own custom gaming pc really but I'm buying one just because I have got a 1500 dollar gaming pc I built
CokesPosted:
They made a HUGE mistake with this pricing. If they don't fix it most EVERYONE will go to the PS4 in the UK. $600 is ridiculous.
BradPosted:
Pricing is still ridiculous... 429 for people from the UK and $499 for people in the US! 429 is about $600!

RATFExoticWolfs-Mark I'm guessing this is only a UK thing :(
I already preordered my Xbox One so it would be too late for me to do this anyway.
Yeah, so far something like this is only in the UK. I am sure TTG will post another new thing if they find out another way to do this in a different country.
i live in the U.K and Toys R Us is terrible
they are only good for Toys hence the name Toys R Us
