Get him another Xbox so you can so I and double the performance. Jokes aside I'd say get him some Xbox credits so he can get whatever he wants. Or you know real $

Yeah just put the Xbox in crossfire, it uses an AMD GPU right?

Control freaks are a cheap and easy gift for him. 

 

Maybe give him a decent Headset to talk with his friends if he already doesn't have one

If you know specifically which games he likes how about some t-shirts with those games as their theme?

Not something that just has a Halo or Mass Effect logo on it, something that people who are into said games will stop and go "Wait, is that a Dark Souls reference?"

Buy him some beans.. he could start his own Fart Farm :P

 

Seriously though, music/movies, <- t-shirts of the aforementioned. Something cool for his room like a lava lamp/LED lighting etc, some things to make his room more liveable or just cool shit in general.

Does he like the Halo franchise quite much (since he plays on an Xbox)?

 

You could buy him an artbook about Halo 4 or Halo 5.

 

Personally, i would give him a nice wallet had he not have one already, maybe even those that communicate with your phone when its time to find it.

Yeah, that's a good idea.. that's what I use, they are very comfortable... don't get a leather one, they are crap quality usually, better to get like a cordoroy fabric type one that is also waterproof IMO. Here in the UK they are approx $40  https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FXXZZYU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A102846ZEFL56O&psc=1

You can get them in all shapes and sizes... beware the "chair" shaped ones, they quickly lose their shape and without more beans being added to hold the shape again, they just look horrible.. IMO it would be better to get one like I have linked and some cushions, or extra beans or both.
