Please stop
You are not giving good information. You are not helping.
The 1TB in this deal is enough for a new player. Even then, X1 can use external storage upgrades which is less technical than PS4's internal upgrades which requires partial disassembly AND software transfer.
The first rule of helping a beginner is you do not project your opinions as fact as it is misleading and selfish.
They are virtually the same.
Both can play Blu Rays, both have many media apps such as BBC iPlayer and Netflix, etc.
Key games of 2016 like Battlefield, Overwatch, Inside and DOOM are on both and run virtually identical.
Key differences relevant to a beginner:
PS4 is the only thing that can play PS VR (Virtual Reality), which is the cheapest VR solution of its kind.
X1S (slim model in this bundle) can play 4k blu ray whereas none of the PS4s can
PS4 has exclusive games such as Uncharted 4, Ratchet & Clank, Infamous, Until Dawn
X1 has exclusive games such as Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4, Halo 5, Sunset Overdrive
PS4 has close upcoming exclusives Horizon: Zero Dawn, Gravity Rush 2, Persona 5
X1 has upcoming exclusives Halo Wars 2, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2
(the above lists are examples and not complete lists)
Buyer will therefore have to decide their preference likely based on price point, available games, and potential friends already on either network. There is no simple "better" console.

Amazon did do this and horizon 3 for £275 but it's out of stock now. Think this is the new best price and heat added. Horizon 3 is £25 most places anyway.
Plus John Lewis is a good store, warranty etc.

Xbox One S is same as PS4 but PS4 is better. Only advantage the Xbox One S has is that it supports 4K Blu-ray disc where as the PS4 doesn't. Both system do still support standard Blu-ray discs.
The PS4 has more advantages at moment;
- Variety of Games
- More Quality Exclusives (not broken, cancelled or buggy like the competitor)
- Better Software aka Dashboard (shame on Microsoft as the Dashboard on Xbox One Sucks)
- Better Hardware (most games run 1080p where as Xbox One same games varies between 900-720p etc
Only thing Xbox has going is the 4K Blu-ray drive and let's face it hardly any games lol. Even most of the exclusives are available on PC with upcoming exclusive games will be available too. The Xbox brand is not what it use to be last generation.

- PS4 has more exclusives, Xbox has more higher rated games on meta critic.
- PS4 next gen / VR is already available al'a the PS4 Pro, the next gen Xbox (the Scorpio) is due for release "2017 Holiday period, probably November", as such any Xbox you buy will be out of date in less than 11 months.
- Xbox has EA Access, PS4 does not.
- The Xbox One S has a UHD Blu-ray player, for some totally insane and unknown reason the PS4 & Pro only sports a 1080p drive.
- Both support drive / storage upgrades, both require a premium membership to play online, both offer free games with premium membership although unlike the Xbox 360 gold games neither consoles let you keep the games if your membership expires.
Think everyone's comments are very valid. Both are great consoles. Your generic third party games; FIFA, battlefield etc will be on both consoles. I'd YouTube ps4 top games and Xbox one top games. (Recent video that shows games released last month (Christmas). I have friends who prefer Xbox one and friends who prefer PS4. Depends what exclusives you prefer.
Halo, forza horizon, gears, killer instinct etc (Xbox)
Uncharted, last of us, street fighter 5, GOW (Ps4)
Home in on the exclusive games from watching the videos and decide what your cup of tea is.
Personally you can't go far wrong with either of them.
Lucky to own both of them and for me uncharted is the best adventure series ever. But horizon is by far the best racing series ever.
But top games like red dead redemption 2 (most anticipated game of 2017), along with Star Wars battlefront 2 are coming out on both consoles anyway.
