Missed out on grabbing an Xbox One S before stock went out? Fear not as we've learned at Gamescon you'll be able to pre-order a bundle with FIFA 17 from today with prices starting at 299 euro. As an added bonus, EA will be throwing in some goodies that you'll be able to use once you've finally received the console and the next instalment in the FIFA series.
Wanting to fork out for the 1TB console? You'll need to part with €349, but both options will see a month's worth of EA Access included. So not only will you be able to enjoy FIFA on receiving the box, but also other titles available as part of EA's subscription platform. Remain tuned to our feeds for more from Gamescon 2016.
We'll update this post when we locate pre-order links, though Microsoft has confirmed that these bundles will launch in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the U.S. (We're unsure right now as to whether or not the UK has been grouped with Europe.)
Update: Pre-orders are live in parts of Europe, including France, along with the UK with prices for the bundle starting at £249.99.

You can pre-order the FIFA 17 Xbox One S bundle today from €299 [Update]
I keep seeing articles about the S being sold out everywhere but I can find it at almost every store I go to. Target...has it. Walmart...has it. Even the electronics section of one of the local grocery stores (H.E.B.) has it. I think MS sold all they had to retailers and are then calling it sold out. However... it does not appear to be sold out at retailers themselves.
Wanted to pick one up yesterday at my local store in Europe. No XB1S in store. It was sold out. But it was possible to preorder it through their (nation wide) webshop. I will now wait for the FIFA bundled XB1S.
Hmmnm... maybe its a Europe thing then. I'm in Texas in the US and it seems to be readily available.
Links to FR and UK stores are wrong.
I just bought my XB1S/500+FIFA2017 Bundle in the Dutch Microsoft Store. Thanks for the heads up.
