Where to Buy an Xbox One or Xbox Series X on Finance and Pay 0% Interest
Buying a new Xbox console on finance makes sense for those not wanting to pay full price on day one, allowing you to spread the cost over an agreed period of time. And the good news is, a large portion of UK retailers offer interest free finance! To help you understand what your options are, we've put together this concise guide explaining the various Xbox One finance plans available in the UK.
Interest Free Xbox One Finance
Often considered the best option, a 0% interest Xbox One finance plan will allow you to spread the cost of your purchase without paying a single lick of interest. The length of time in which you can take advantage of accruing no interest will vary from retailer to retailer, but most opt to offer it over either 6 or 12 months. Let’s take a look at the top UK retailers offering interest free finance deals for new Xbox One consoles:
AO Interest Free Xbox One Deals
AO's interest free credit is offered over a length of 6 or 12 months in monthly instalments. One huge benefit of choosing AO is the ability to receive your Xbox One as early as the next day free of charge, with no need for an upfront payment at the start of the interest free plan. Just make sure that your desired Xbox One bundle is over £200 in order to qualify for AO's interest free plan.
Argos Interest Free Xbox One Deals
Argos’ interest free credit is offered up to a period of 12 months with no additional cost, letting you pay it back as and when it suits you. All you need to do is sign up for an Argos card, and ensure you meet the minimum monthly repayment in order to avoid paying interest. Argos are consistently one of the best retailers for Xbox One deals, making them an excellent overall choice.
GAME and Music Magpie Finance
The only way to enjoy 0% interest via GAME is through their online storefront using what’s known as PayPal credit. It’s applicable to any item over £99 and must be paid over a 4-month period for no interest to be accrued. Similarly, Music Magpie offer refurbished Xbox One consoles at a 0% interest rate, and like GAME, this is only possible through PayPal credit for orders over £99.
