Microsoft is extending the holiday cheer through the New Year with its recently announced Xbox One bundles.

"While the holidays are now behind us, we're excited to ring in the New Year with even more value and choice for our fans to experience the greatest games lineup in Xbox history well into 2016."
The two new Xbox One bundles are the Xbox One "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege" Bundle and the Xbox One 500 GB Name Your Game Bundle.
