Gaming is by no means a cheap hobby. Consoles, TV’s, and gaming PC’s are expensive toys, and to make things worse, new games often go for over R600. Fortunately, most games make their way to the bargain bin eventually, which means that if you don’t feel the need to play a game shortly after its release, you can hang in there until it becomes a less wallet-intensive investment.<\/p>\n
