Xbox One Accessories...What do I need?

[mom2rose&john]

I am planning on purchasing the console this Black Friday. I know it only has one controller and I will purchase another with the Target gift card if they are available. But what else should I get (other than games)? A charging station, headset...? Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA

Definitely a rechargeable battery pack. Are you planning on playing online with others? If so an Xbox live membership and a headset.

Don't add the live account automatically. They should/may offer a free 30 day or so trial when you create a new account.

I 2nd that. Although depending on how much you're going to use the 2nd controller you can probably just purchase a controller with a rechargeable battery pack and just use regular batteries in one controller. A charging station would be nice, but not necessarily needed. If the version you are purchasing doesn't come with the Kinect, I'd pick that up too.

I believe the Xbox One comes with a decent headset to start out with. At least ours did but we got a launch day one so not sure if that was a difference.

If you are going budget just another controller and that's it. We don't have the rechargeable batteries but keep a stock of AAs handy. Of course we don't use our Xbox One nearly as much as our Playstation 4 so there's that.
