If you hold fire for a sale, last spin around I believe they hit $299 for the console and an additional game. I would be surprised if it doesn't happen again, although if you really want to be the hero, you could splash a little more and grab the limited edition that's on the way (I doubt it'll be $599 for long), https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/store/d/xbox-one-s-1tb-console-minecraft-limited-edition-bundle/.
But yeah, $299 retail NZ isn't unexpected, as it hit that this may past and you might even get some freebies. Hardly worth the effort to get it shipped across.
Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.
Stu1: I asked jbhifi in town they seemed to think if I brought in Aussie it would be covered in NZ such a price difference here
I'd be wary of that - Microsoft MIGHT honour the warranty, but they'd be completely within their rights to deny you the warranty in New Zealand, as you would be classified as the Manufacturer.
With that said, most of the Xbox stuff is handled from Australia anyway, so you might also be just fine.
But I'd buy local, because if I was buying an Xbox for a kid, I'd MUCH rather be able to walk back into a shop and out again with a new one, than to have a dud one on hand and have to explain that waiting 2 weeks is normal.

Actually they have them on today;

Plus if its for the kids get the digital version of Minecraft - trust me you'll thank me you didnt get a disc copy.
I'm keen to find the cheapest option for a S though I think it's a matter of timing.
I just want an Ultra HD Blu-ray player and they are the cheapest when they are on sale. If Sony had brains and put an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive in the PS4 Pro I'd drop money it.
A friend and I got a Xbox one S in white with fifa and latest forza for $379 at PB Tech yesterday.
stevenz:
The One X is due out in a month, so that combined with Christmas I'd expect some pretty sharp deals to be had.
i nearly bought it but i thought forza 7 was the latest not horizon 3?
