Holiday Gift Guide 2019 Xbox Edition
Xbox One X - $349.99-$499.99
The Xbox Series X isn’t hitting until next holiday season so there is still plenty of time to upgrade to the 4K gaming realm with the Xbox One X! Along with 4K gaming, you also get access to UHD 4K Blu Ray playback. It looks so good on those 4K screens you probably have on the wish list this year! The $150 discount currently going on doesn’t hurt either.
External Hard Drives - $79.99-$249.99
Game install sizes are continuing to get bigger and hard drive space is becoming a more precious commodity. With an external drive for your Xbox not only will you get more room to store your titles but they will also load faster than from the stock drive especially if you grab an external SSD (affiliate link)! Whether you want a little more space (2TB) (affiliate link) for your Xbox or a ton (12TB) (affiliate link) there is an option for you! For reference, my 5 TB drive is holding around 200 Xbox One titles of various sizes.
Controllers- $44.99-$179.99
Ahh, there is nothing better than playing games on a fresh controller! The thumbsticks feel so much better and the buttons are nice and responsive. If it has been a while since you had a new controller this is the best time to get one. With the wide variety of controllers available, there is something for everyone from the standard Xbox One Controller (affiliate link) to the Elite Controller Series 2 (affiliate link). There are also third-party tournament controllers (affiliate link) available as well though honestly, they don’t really hold a candle to the Elite controller in my mind.
Game Pass - $59.99-$119.99
Xbox Game Pass is one of the greatest deals in gaming right now. With a simple subscription, Xbox One Owners are given access to well over 100 titles that they can download and play! Titles are rotated in and out of the service on a monthly basis so there is always something new to try. Another cool benefit is you are able to purchase games from the program at a nice discount in case you want to keep them in your library forever. Right now you can grab a 6 month (affiliate link) or 12 month (affiliate link) pre-paid subscription for easy gifting!
Accessories - $19.99-$39.99
There are a ton of fun little add-ons you can get for Xbox One including rechargeable battery packs and bases (affiliate link), chat pads (affiliate link), and even a wall mount for Xbox One S (affiliate link) and X (affiliate link).
