Microsoft has gone a little Bundle crazy this year, but we will only focus on the six detailed in the past week and not previously announced bundles, such as the Halo 5 bundle or the Xbox One Elite bundle. We'll take a look at what's on offer, when they are available (and for pre-order) and what they will cost.
The six new Xbox One bundles announced this week by Microsoft are:
- Xbox One Rise Of The Tomb Raider Bundle
- Xbox One 1TB Holiday Bundle
- Xbox One The LEGO Movie Videogame Bundle
- Xbox One Special Edition Gears Of War Bundle
- Xbox One With Kinect Bundle
- Xbox One Fallout 4 Bundle

- The exclusive Tactical Survival Kit Content Pack, which contains a new outfit and weapon skin for Lara
- Full-game download of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
Xbox One 1TB Holiday Bundle
The Xbox One 1TB Holiday Bundle will be available starting 28 October for $399 USD. Here's what you get:
- 1TB Xbox One console

Xbox One Fallout 4 Bundle
The Xbox One Fallout 4 Bundle will be available 10 November for $399 USD. You can already pre-order the bundle today. This what you will get in the bundle:
- 1TB Xbox One console
- Xbox One wireless controller with 3.5mm headset jack
- Fallout 4 full game download
- Fallout 3 full game download, now playable on Xbox One
- 14-day Xbox Live Gold trial
For me, the Fallout 4 bundle would appeal the most, but it comes down to personal preferences. Microsoft previously announced a whole bunch of bundles available in multiple territories to cater to different tastes as the holidays approach.
If you were shopping for an Xbox One, which would you be tempted to spend your money on?
