Over the past two years, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo have each released new consoles that can instantly improve your gaming experience. The PlayStation 5, for example, packs a blazing fast SSD that virtually eliminates load times. Although compact, the Xbox Series S delivers great visuals, while the Nintendo Switch OLED lets you enjoy gaming on the go on a vibrant 7-inch screen. Jon Scarr, the Best Buy Blog’s gaming editor, reviewed each of these consoles for us, so make sure to read his reviews to learn more about their specs and his experience using them: PS5 review, Xbox Series S review, Nintendo Switch OLED review. Also keep reading this article to learn how to enter this contest for a chance to win one of them!
Make the most of your games with a gaming TV or VR headset
Enjoy your games to their fullest potential by pairing your console with a TV optimised for gaming. Besides allowing you to enjoy your games on a big screen, gaming TVs like the Samsung 65″ 4K HDR QLED Tizen Smart TV include key features that reduce lag and motion blur to help improve your game play. If you’re looking for a truly immersive experience though, the Meta Quest 2 VR headset with touch controllers takes you right into the action and lets you experience games like never before.
Take your PC gaming experience to the next level with these accessories
If you’re a PC gamer, you can also improve your game play and overall gaming experience by adding a few accessories to your setup. A gaming headset like the Turtle Beach Stealth 700X Gen 2 can make you feel as if you were in the midsts of the action, while a gaming keyboard like the HyperX Alloy Origins 65 and gaming mouse like the Corsair Nightsword can give you the precision and ergonomics you need to keep comfortably playing for hours on end.
