Once you've decided on which console and games you want to start your Xbox One library with, you should look to grab a cheap Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass subscription as well.

Xbox Live Gold is required to play games online and offers subscribers free games each month. The Xbox Game Pass is a Netflix-style subscription that gives users access to a library of more than 100 Xbox games to play whenever they want on both Xbox and PC.

Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are discounted by $10 during the holidays, and Microsoft is offering two deals on Game Pass: new subscribers will get their first month for $1 if they sign up before the end of the year, or you can buy a digital code for a 12-month subscription for $69.99 (a $50 discount).

Finally, if you plan on playing at home with friends, you can pick up an extra controller for $39 at Walmart, or $39.99 at GameStop, Best Buy, Target, and Kohl's.
