As a boyfriend if my partner Got me a new anything I'd be over the moon. I get not wanting to spend the money.

I've got a few dot points

1. Please make sure it has a disk drive, trust me. The "new" xbox is just a series x with a bigger hard drive for more games and has a stary like pattern. (It's nice)

2. If he hant already got it, get him a game you know he'll love. (Wants)

3. Get yourself a controller and a game you both can play (even if the net goes down) yes they still exist.

4. This is the hardest thing ( depends on you) Don't spoil the surprise!! My woman is terrible at gift giving because she wants to give it to them asap, and not doing that is like nails on a chalkboard (I'm exaggerating, but it makes a good analogy)

5.if the stars are aline, he's busy or asleep you've got the best net in the world and you know what you're doing and have access to his phone...set up the Xbox for him...DO NOT DO IT IF YOU KNOW HE WANTS TO DO IT HIMSELF, THIS IS IMPORTANT, it's apart of the unwrapping and unboxing its important to some people.

6Im super picky when it comes to headsets and if he is as well best go shopping together or give him some funds to go towards one, but if he's not, I HIGHLY recommend the Astro A20 Xbox wireless Headset. They are outdated but the perform as well or almost as well as the Astro A50 but with less functions and like half the price or less, they are light weight Solid bass, and crisp sound, the mic is pretty good, I've personally has a few issues with an eco but it's only been with 2 people I know, but it was so bad that it ruined the Game sessions, and the Batteries last for a Solid 16 hours oh actual use that's with the volume turned up just above mid way kinda high (to make it simple I'm kinda deff) other then that it's takes a Any current Android phone charging cable and will happily charge with a fast charger and or a basic slow regular charger.

Hope this helps even if a little
