3 tips when buying a gaming console
A gaming console's true value lies in the games it can play. The key is to discover which games are exclusive to each console. If you're a Mario fan, only Nintendo will do. For Halo enthusiasts, it's Xbox, and so on. Searching for exclusive titles will give you all the information you need.
If your friends, co-workers and others are all using the same system, it might be worth considering getting the same one. Here's why:
- You can bring your own controller to gaming nights at someone's house.
- You can play online together with your friends.
Having the same gaming system and playing the same games can also give you more common topics to discuss and bond over with your friends.
The latest Xbox and PlayStation consoles come in versions with or without a disc player. From the get-go, you'll need to decide if you want to purchase games on a physical disc or just digitally.
Another clever option is to subscribe to gaming services. While Nintendo doesn't offer such a service, Xbox and PlayStation do. For a monthly fee, you can download as many games as you like from their catalogue. This is fantastic if you play loads and always want something new.
