If you’re in the market for an Xbox One, and want to pick up a TV to play it on at the same time, FNB and Samsung have a couple of bundles you may be interested in.<\/p>\n

Samsung has teamed up with FNB to offer prospective gamers looking to make the leap to the now-gen an opportunity to get in on the fun with two bundles packaging an Xbox One with a fancy TV for R599 <\/strong>and R949 per month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The bundles are available to qualifying FNB customers through the bank’s smart device portal, payable over 24 months. You will also need a valid TV licence.<\/p>\n

Typically these sorts of bundles charge interest over time, so naturally you’ll end up paying 11%-13% more than if you bought all the components separately, once-off.<\/p>\n

If that sounds like something you’re keen on, then have a look at the tables below where we detail the full bundle and separate component costs.<\/p>\n

With this bundle, paying the price of R599 per month over 24 months means you’ll be paying 11% more<\/strong> than what you would if you bought all the components in one go.<\/p>\n

Total<\/strong><\/td>\nR20,076<\/strong><\/td>\nR22,776<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

Paying the price of R949 per month over 24 months means you’ll be paying 13% more<\/strong> than what you would if you bought all the components separately.<\/p>\n

FNB usually gets a lot of flak for having an ultimate price that’s higher than the RRP – but when you’re looking at bigger numbers up to R20,000, it actually doesn’t seem that bad.<\/p>\n
