• Exclusive games: If you want to play Halo 5, Forza 6 or Gears of War, you’ll need an Xbox One.
• Integration with a huge variety of apps, from iPlayer and Netflix to NFL. The Xbox One also lets you run content from a set-top box or tuner through your console.
• The Xbox One’s controller is a real game changer, combining comfortable design and clever use of independent rumble triggers. The Elite Bundle controller is even better, with hair trigger locks and a range of swappable components.

The best PS4 deals in 2016: Here's how to get a PlayStation 4 for cheap in the UK

The first question you’ll want to ask yourself is: should I pay the extra and go for an Xbox One Elite Bundle? This amped up version comes with a 1TB solid state hybrid drive (SSHD) and a fancy new Xbox One Elite Controller. If you take your gaming seriously, the extra cost is definitely worth it – the hybrid drive is designed to load games faster by learning which files you access frequently, and the controller comes with a number of features such as Hair Trigger Locks.

If you decide not to go for the Elite version of the console, you’ll have a choice between 500GB and 1TB variations. Which size you go for will very much depend on the price leap, but if you see a tantalising deal on the 1TB model it’ll absolutely be worth considering. The size of today’s games means 500GB will disappear very quickly, and extra storage is always a bonus.

Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, are the games included in the bundle. This will be down to personal taste, although bundles with extra controllers instead of extra games are worthy of your attention if you intend to play locally with friends.
