The Xbox One comes in three varieties; the base Xbox One model, the Xbox One S model, and the Xbox One X model. At this point, there really isn’t much point to purchase the Xbox One base model, the Xbox One S model provides a larger hard drive (for storing games) and the ability for sharper HDR visuals. In fact, you might be hard pressed to even find a base model, as most stores only carry the two upgraded Xbox One models. If you’re purchasing an Xbox One for someone who wants the absolute best gaming experience, then you’ll want the Xbox One X model. With that said, the Xbox One X model does cost $200 more than the Xbox One S model, so if the price is an issue, the S model might be the way to go. One thing worth mentioning is that every Xbox One game will play perfectly fine on the Xbox One base model, the Xbox One S model, and the Xbox One X model – the key difference between the three is the quality of the visuals they produce, with the Xbox One X being the most capable.
Xbox One S
For the sports fan, Xbox One S 1TB Console – NBA 2K19 Bundle might be the way to go.
Alternatively, you can opt for the Xbox One S 1TB Console – Starter Bundle option, which doesn’t include a game, but does include a 3-month subscription to the Xbox Game Pass, a service that provides over 100 games including Forza Horizon 4, Gears of War 4, and Halo 5.
Xbox One X
For the shooter fan, Xbox One X 1TB Console – PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS Bundle
For the fan of online experiences, Xbox One X 1TB Console – Fallout 76 Bundle includes a copy of the brand new massively multiplayer online game Fallout 76.
And for the sports fan, Xbox One X 1TB Console – NBA 2K19 Bundle includes a copy of NBA 2K19.
Controllers
While every Xbox One console includes a controller, a second controller might be a good gift, especially if there’s more than one gamer in the house. Or maybe, the gamer just needs a controller upgrade. Here are a couple great options.
For the gamer who just wants a new style, the Xbox One Controller – Ocean Shadow Special Edition has an incredibly slick look to it.
For the serious gamer who demands the absolute best, including multiple controller configurations, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller
