Any good deals on Consoles?

[Deetz]

Hi MyBB!
I am looking to buy a new console, but cant seem to find any real festive specials on either PS4 or Xbox 1 S.
I am looking for the cheapest of the the two with and must include 2 controllers.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Anyone?

I have checked around at Takelot, Game, Deon, IncredableInfection and a few others. but cant see anything that really at a good price?

Well if you want cheap pre owened is the way to go. They go for relatively cheap at cash crusaders or on facebook classified groups. As for new consoles they don't seem to get discounted much even the ack Friday deals were meh.

THanks @cavedog ! yeah I noticed the same thing but hoped I was wrong. I want to a new console as I bought a 2nd hand one before and it lasted me all of 35 days and also lost my money paid on it.

I shall keep an eye out, but I think all the retailers have already posted their specials, so if there are none now then there wont be later

Second hand is always risky, but if you do get a deal, it is a GOOD deal. Got a PS4 Pro, 2 controllers and about 7 games (I think - if not more), a month ago off www.carbonite.co.za for R5800.

Just need to shop around, and make sure the seller checks out

Yeah that is a risk. Just to mention something. I bought my ps4 on pre order and got it from CNA on 26/11/2013.

I still use it today 5 years later and it survived a couple of power surges and still fully functional. Recently opened it up to clean it up and replace thermal paste. After years of operating and getting dust clogging up the vents the plastic started melting onto the heatsink. I cleaned it out and cut the plastic out with side cutters and it's still running fine.

It's on 24/7 and it just works. My brand new xbox one s lasted 3 months then I had to warranty claim after the internal power supply blew.

Very impressed with my OG ps4 it's a beast that thing.
