PS4 now available to rent!

PS4

This has been a long time coming, but <drum roll> we are delighted to announce that we are now offering PS4 games console rental. Yes, rental!  This really is a big deal for us as we wanted to be sure that we could offer a great value route in to the next generation of games for the next generation of gamers.  We can now rent a fantastic PS4 console for just £20pm!

You see, I was young once (no,really) so we know that young people that have a big pressure on their income and lots of things that they want to do with it.   Plenty of time on my hands but not as much money; paying rent, learning to drive, wanting to party at weekends, wanting to change mobile phone every two years… It all takes a toll on the pocket, which means that getting £400 together to get a next gen console isn’t exactly easy.  If this sounds familiar then we really think that our PS4 rental is the perfect solution – available in black or white (while stocks last), with controllers and cameras too.  For gamers who want to plug in and play we have FIFA 15, Call of Duty – Ghosts, Infamous Second Son & Battlefield 4 and others currently available.

But it’s not just games on the PS4, there’s SO much more that you can do.  Here’s our top 5:

1. Play Blu-ray discs

Blu-rays are a step up from DVD, offering high definition image quality.  The PS4 can also play all of the Blu-rays released straight out of the box, so any collection you might have built up from your PS3-owning days doesn’t go to waste.

You can also still play DVDs on the PS4 – and we’ve all got some of those lying around.

2. Browse the web

With the PS3, you needed to quit what you were doing – playing a game, watching a film or whatever else – in order to simply browse the web.

Thankfully, the PS4 doesn’t ask you to put your life on hold just to surf the web.

Simply press the Home button and open the browser – whatever you were doing is safely in the background.

3. Download films and TV shows

Aside from the streaming options, the PS4 can be used to download television shows and films from the PlayStation Store.

4. Control it with a PS Vita, mobile phone or tablet

Second-screen functionality is big news in the tech world, with all manner of apps letting you control things in and around the home using a smartdevice. PS4 is no different.

Using a smartphone or a tablet, you can control the PS4 itself – turn it on and off, send and receive messages with friends etc. Simply download the PlayStation App (free) and you’re good to go!

If you own a PS Vita, there’s even greater functionality. Using the built-in PS4 Remote Play app, you can fully control your console through the device (as long as you’ve got a good wi-fi connection).

5. Stream video to and from the world

Along with video-streaming services like YouTube, there’s the chance to participate in other methods of video sharing too as the console supports Twitch & UStream – which lets you stream a game live to others.
