Video games are an expensive hobby, but with a bit of smart shopping you can save some money on your Playstation Move. Shopping for games and consoles isn’t much different than buying a TV or any other electronics, except that certain retailers will have bundles that are designed to save you even more money. In this post I want to show you how to shop around, and what you can get with some of these bundles.
There are essentially three places to buy Move; game stores, big box retailers, or Amazon. Comparing prices among all of these options should only take a couple of minutes, and you’ll be able to see which is the cheapest. If you have a lot of old games laying around your house, you can sell them at your local game store for credit on your Move, which is going to provide the most substantial savings. There won’t be a big difference in price among these, unless one is having a sale that the others are not.
Getting a Playstation Move bundle is the best way to save a lot if you don’t have games to sell back. There are two different bundles that are available. The Starter Bundle has everything that you need if you already own a PS3. It comes with a Move Wand, Playstation Eye, and the game Sports Champions. You’ll need more controllers if you intend on playing multiplayer, but this is perfect for one person to get started. The Console Bundle has everything that the Starter does, but comes with a 320GB PS3 console. These retail and $99 and $399 respectively. Both offer huge savings, especially when purchased through Amazon. There you will get free shipping if you live in the US, and most states won’t have to pay sales tax.
It really isn’t tough to find a good deal on your Move, and with the tips outlined above you’d be a fool to pay full price for yours! Just be sure to get it before it sells out this holiday season! It will probably sell out locally before it does online, so if you’re struggling to find it in your area, hit up Amazon where they will most likely have it in stock.
