Can you explain the differences between the ps4 options?

Which options are you looking at, specifically? Most systems I have seen lately are all the same 500GB system, just come with different games bundles.

Is there a difference between the white and black one? I've been reading and they seem the same but one is higher than the other.

What are the bundles? Is that just marketing?

Is there something I need to make sure it comes with?

This is the only thing Jesse has said he wants for Christmas. I have to find it, and if I can, put it in layaway.

The only difference in the colors are that the white version wasn't released until a year later. Everything else is the same.

The bundles are basically marketing, but do typically save you money because you can get a game (usually with exclusive content) for around the same cost as just the system. So if there is a bundle with a game he'd be into, I'd go that route.

Bundle or console only, everything he will need to hook it up and play will come with it.

I know GameStop did a layaway program last year, but I don't know the specifics or if it is going to happen this year. They also sell pre-owned/refurbished consoles that come with a warranty through the store.

We like Gamestop. Love them for games and accessories.

I am leery of buying a used console though.

Kmart has a couple and they have layaway.

Jesse works through games so quickly, any suggestions?

He has an Xbox as well. And a PS 3 and a Wii and a Wii U and a Nintendo and an Activision and Atari.

 

He is a gamer. 

 

He has bought all but two of those himself.

 

And don't get me started on the handheld game systems.

 

He is very serious about his hobby. lol....

What kind of games does he like?

Batman Arkham Knight is good. So is Witcher 3. There's new Madden NFL game coming out later this month. I am looking forward to the Megaman release at the end of August for some retro-like gaming. Mad Max comes out Sept. 1st. Rainbow Six Siege and Assassins Creed Syndicate will be released in the next couple months as well. Games in both series are usually good.

I'll have to look. He buys his own.

He was beyond tickled last time he bought a game and didn't need my ok.

He just got one. Last Soul or Lost Soul. I can't remember which one it is.

Sneak a peek at some of the game titles. Then tell them at gamestop, he likes XYZ games. What other would you recommend? We are pretty well known at ours, and the whole crew seems to be super helpful, so I am confident yours can give you some awesome recommendations!

You said he goes through games quickly? You might look in to a Power Up membership if he doesn't already have one. The PRO version is $14.99 (I think) per year, and he will get a monthly magazine (Game Informer) as well as a discounted price on buying games, and more credit for trade-ins. We save a couple hundred a year with it.

He has that.

And thanks for the help.

Now if I could get the other two to tell me what they want....

Lol, I kinda figured he did, being a gamer, but threw it out just in case.


And you are most welcome!
