Local retailers are offering various gaming consoles at discounted prices this weekend as part of their Easter specials.<\/p>\n

Rumour of next generation consoles may be dominating the news headlines, but consumers still have at least a year and a bit before all three become available at retail. If you\u2019re looking to pass the time while you wait, perhaps you should consider one of the deals below.<\/p>\n

Makro this week have a PlayStation 3 Move bundle on special for R3,799.00.<\/p>\n

The bundle includes a 320GB console, Move camera with two motion controllers, Move Cricket, and Let\u2019s dance with Mel B.<\/p>\n
