Top tips for gaming on a budget
Rounding it up
The best tip? Save your money to ensure you can buy the hardware and software you really want.
Consoles can be a bit cheaper, but if you go with a PC, you’ll be able to control exactly what goes into your gaming system.
Watch out for microtransactions; these can add up, so pay attention to costs and budget for these as well.
Set a budget and make a plan to purchase your gaming console.
