PlayStation & XBOX consoles
Useful when choosing
The console is the easiest way to gaming on a big screen – you connect it to the TV and play without settings and without thinking about parts. Here you will find PlayStation and Xbox consoles and their accessories – controllers, cables, chargers, cases, and grips that make gaming more comfortable. There are options for every family – from compact digital consoles to powerful models for 4K gaming.
How to choose
- The platform. PlayStation and Xbox have different exclusive games and subscription services. Choose based on the games that interest you and based on the platform your friends play on.
- With disc or digital version. Versions with an optical drive play games on disc and Blu-ray movies. Digital versions are without a drive, and games are purchased and downloaded online.
- The memory. Modern games take up a lot of space. Larger built-in memory means more games installed at once without deleting.
- The resolution. More powerful consoles provide 4K picture and high frame rates. Smaller versions are aimed at Full HD and 1440p.
- Subscriptions and games. Both platforms have subscriptions with a catalog of games and online multiplayer. They are a convenient way to try many titles without buying each one separately.
What to watch out for
- For 4K at high frame rates, you need a TV or monitor with HDMI 2.1.
- Online games require a subscription to the platform's service.
- A second controller is needed if you will play with a friend on one screen.
- Accessories for one console do not always work with another – check compatibility.
- Leave space around the console for cooling – do not close it in a tight cabinet without air.
