Anyone who knows anything about Xbox one

[meldmac]

I am thinking of getting Hubby a Xbox One for Christmas. Now I see there is an Elite 1tb Bundle for about $100 Canadian more then the regular bundles. This doesn't come with a game but comes with the Elite controller. Does anyone know if this is worth paying the extra money for even if it doesn't come with a game. The two options I was looking at were:

Xbox one 1tb bundle with NHL 16 $449.00 (Canadian)
Xbox one 1tb Elite Bundle (No game) $549.00 (Canadian)

Have no idea what to go for! Any help is appreciated.
