Gaming Wednesdays 2.5: How to Get Into Gaming (if you're new to gaming) Part II

So... get a PS 3.

Now, you will no doubt hear people say it's old tech and that the new hardware is better, and that's certainly true. However, this doesn't mean that 7th gen games  are inferior. Indeed, they look a bit less impressive than their 8th gen counterparts, but as of right now the difference isn't that impressive. More importantly, while it's true that from sometime this summer moving forward games will be released on the new consoles, the 7th gen has plenty of amazing titles to give. In fact, I'm not sure that games in the 8th gen will measure up to the greatest of the 7th gen in any way but visuals. 

Gaming Wednesdays 2: How to Get Into Gaming (if you're new to gaming) Part 1

I promised last week that I would talk a bit about people who are new to gaming. They are, after all, the only logical potential consumers of the Steamboxes which were the subject of last week's post.  And so, if you, dear reader, are not a gamer but think that videogames seem fun and are thinking about getting into gaming, this post is for you. And for everyone else, feel free to flame in the comments section.

So you want to get into gaming. A lot of other places will recommend whatever their personal preference of latest console is. Instead, I will give you the lowest cost gateway.
