FNB Xbox 360 Bundle

[princeradebe]

Hi guys

I stumbled across this on the FNB website, seems like FNB wants to offer the Xbox 360 to its device catalogue. I still can't view the info and @RBJacobs said I must contact the smartphone department.

Strange, this was working yesterday when I checked...

I'll have to follow this up.

But for now, pricing is as follows:

FIFA Bundle

• Xbox 250GB Kinect Console
• 2 x wireless controllers
• FIFA 14
• 800 Xbox Live Points and 1 month Gold membership
• Total cost: R229 per month x 24

The GTA bundle (far better IMO)

• Xbox 250Gb Kinect Console
• 2 x wireless controllers
• GTA V
• Tomb Raider QLT via download
• Halo 4
• 800 Xbox Live points with 1 month Xbox Live Gold membership
• Total cost: R229 x 24

Both also come with a 2 year collect, repair and return warranty. I'll update if I have missed anything.

hmmm, decent, but my xbox is being replaced by a PS4 next year I think.

 

[princeradebe]

Thanks.

Good offer, but not sure if you can take more than one device with FNB although for the past few months I couldn't view devices from internet banking, It would say something like "You've already taken up this offer" but today I was able to see devices but didn't take it further to see if I can order another device.

After finding out there are outrageous penalties for trying to pay off your devices early I would be apprehensive of any FNB deals like this.

I think you can take more than one device. Depends on your affordability I suppose.

I've got a couple of payments left on an ipad so I called today to see what the deal is. They said if I increase my over draught limit I'll qualify for a second device.

So now I'm thinking about what I NEED from that selection

Penalties? I wanted to pay off my Z10.

There are no penalties to settle early, all you lose out on is the cash they give back to you every month, which will continue once you take another deal.

You get the device at discounted rates but if you settle, discount falls away.
E.G. An iPad retailing for R6000 will be sold to for R4800 (R200pm) meaning a discount of R1200
Say you you've already paid 12 months for the iPad i.e. R2400 meaning contractually you have R2400 left (12 months) to pay and decide to settle, they'd take R6000 less R2400 meaning you'll have to pay R3600.

Couldn't think of a shorter way of putting this.

I just saw that on the statement online. They changed the whole look, now you can see the settlement fee.

AFAIK the xbox can only be used with the game you buy unless you unlock it which is 10 000 microsoft points

No, that's not how it works. You pay a settlement fee, as well as a penalty fee. The penalty fee doesn't seem to have a fixed value, so it's a case of luck of the draw.

Found the Terms and Conditions for the Business Smart Device deal.. The early settlement clauses at the bottom of the document should apply to individual users as well: https://www.fnb.co.za/downloads/businessSmartDevice/Terms_and_Conditions_Business_Smart_Device.pdf

Yes, I do.

Guess I was lucky with my iPad then. Paid it off and only paid in what would have been the full price (i.e. no penalty fees).

There's no penalty fee, you pay the undiscounted amount (so the remainder of your payments + the discount amount that had been applied on the device)
