A new Xbox One S Assassin's Creed Origins bundle gets you the game and console for just ￡230
With Assassin's Creed Origins coming out soon (and Destiny 2 having recently come out, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus releasing the same day as Assassin's Creed Origins, Call of Duty WWII, you get the idea), it's probably a good idea to think about getting a new console, if you're not already on the current generation. To sweeten the deal, there's a new Xbox One S bundle coming out very soon.
There's two versions of it, one cheaper 500GB model, and one 1TB model, both of which include an Xbox One S, Assassin's Creed Origins, a wireless controller, a 1-month Xbox Games Pass subscription (a Netflix-like service for Xbox One games), and a 14-day Xbox Live Gold trial. The bundle comes to ￡229 for the 500GB model, and ￡299 for the 1TB model. It's currently only up for pre-order on the official Microsoft store, with other retailers presumably coming soon.
If you're picking up the 1TB model, you also get a copy of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege for free, which is a nice little edition. Both bundles are available to pre-order now, and will release on October 27 alongside Assassin's Creed Origins.

For Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, you're looking at a much more competitive multiplayer shooter. Despite coming out two years ago, it's got a huge number of players, and is widely regarded as the next step in competitive shooters. With both a bustling esports scene and a constantly growing number of amateurs, it's always going to be a good game to pick up.
