Brighthouse do stuff on pay monthly but had a bad press in recent days. Still now they've had a slap on the wrist the interest they charge should be a lot less than it was before.

There and to the left a bit

If you can't afford the box how are you going to afford enough games to keep you happy once you've got it is another consideration you need to make - at £40 a pop just a handful of games is going to cost you the price of the box again.

Why do you want a PS4 then? They are similar consoles in terms of ability and the vast majority of games are available on both consoles.

Prioritise building up your credit rating. There are more important things to worry about than a gaming machine.

Rent, food, transport, beer, fab etc etc.

Then surely there is no need for a games console.

Male half here, my suggestion is gumtree if you want a bargain.

That said if you have an xbox one just play that! Not worth the extra expense if you currently can't afford it.

And like someone else said, youre on fab, I am sure there are more exciting and fun things you could do here

Cough ......... Ahem .........

This is seriously unsarky advice from a 'different' generation.

'In my day' ( hate the phrase ) MEN didn't play games all day and night.

A ps4 is a fantasy world.

If you cannot afford one i'd imagine you cannot afford much in life. ( like many of us )

Invest any money and time you have in REALITY.

Be out giving to others, it'll surprise you how much they give back and if they don't you will still buzz from living in reality and helping real people.

A PS4 will take away your powers of thought and creativity, it will suck you until you are emotionally involved with it. The only people you will talk to are other PS4'ers and the money you pay for it will prevent you from seeing and being with flesh and blood.

PS4 is the road to a stinking house, family arguments and depression.

NO. Granny says NO.

If you can't afford it, getting yourself in to debt to get one wont help your financial situation. Best solution is to save and just be patient. Good things come to those who wait! That's what baby jesus says....

This, don’t get in to debt over something that is a luxury item, save up and get it when you can pay for it outright.

Or you could carry on enjoying your x-box and with the time you would have spent on a PS4...You could learn a foreign language or learn to play a musical instrument!

I am sure most of the fab ladies would be far more impressed if you could seduce them in French or, serenade them with a beautiful song.

You might some that want to hear about your debt and how good you are at call of duty though!

Not everyone pays though. You can make payments and, when you’ve had enough, just take it back
