It has become a lot more difficult to find the best deals on consoles and video games because of the sheer number of physical and online retailers.<\/p>\n

To help you out, we\u2019ve put together a simple price comparison between Makro and Takealot for consoles and various popular video games.<\/p>\n

Consoles<\/h3>\n

Whether you decide to shop at Makro or hop onto Takealot, you\u2019ll pay the same retail price for the Xbox Series X. The Series S is only available on Takealot, and comes with a Fornite and Rocket League bundle.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the market for a PlayStation 5, the availability of the console across retailers seems to be very limited, as both Makro and Takealot have no stock of the console.<\/p>\n

PlayStation 5<\/td>\nno stock<\/td>\nno stock<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

However, this doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t get your hands on one, as we found a 1TB PlayStation 5 Disc Edition on GeeWiz for R15,995<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, if you looking to save some money by purchasing the previous generation of consoles, Takealot has stock of both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One while Makro does not.<\/p>\n

Takealot offers an Xbox One for R9,999<\/a>, while the PlayStation 4 is offered as a bundle, which includes five games and a headset for only R8,199<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Games<\/h3>\n

We compared the prices of Games by choosing several popular games that were available across both stores.<\/p>\n

We found that, while different games were cheaper on different platforms, Takealot was more commonly the cheaper option.<\/p>\n

Marvel’s Spider-man Miles Morales<\/td>\nR999<\/td>\nR835<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you\u2019ve opted for the cheaper Xbox Series S, then you won\u2019t have the option of playing hard copy games.<\/p>\n

However, both the Xbox and PlayStation have an online store that gives you access to games without the need for a hard copy.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, there is very little difference in the prices for console products when comparing Makro to Takealot. If anything, Takealot is slightly cheaper when it comes to physical video games.<\/p>\n

You should also consider that Takealot offers free delivery for purchases over R400, whereas the minimum delivery cost with Makro is R55.<\/p>\n

Takealot will generally have a larger range of games and products than Makro, which ultimately puts Takealot slightly ahead of Makro in our opinion.<\/p>\n
