PS4, Xbox One – SA contract deals, price comparison

The holidays are coming, and your children, wife, husband, brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, and that one guy you always see at Steers all want some sweet toys to keep them entertained.

And what better way to keep busy than with a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One? (PC gamers, keep quiet.)

PS4s and Xbox Ones are not exactly cheap, though, and forking over around R6,000 in cash can dent the savings account. Fortunately, through the power of compound interest and the general consumer’s liking for installment deals, you can get a PS4 or Xbox One bundled with data contracts or on a straight 24 month payment plan.

For those of you who “make it rain” regularly, dropping 6k ain’t nothing but a thing and we have included the cash prices for the various Sony and Microsoft console bundles.

Interested? Good – let’s take a look at which retailers are offering the best deals.

Both the PS4 and Xbox One standard bundles include a 500GB console and one wireless controller. All prices were accurate at the time of writing.
