Game consoles with delivery from the USA – how much is the real savings?
A game console is a wonderful thing! The dream of any man and any child. It lets you enjoy all the beauty of gaming on your TV rather than on a (relatively) small monitor. Plus, with it you don’t have to buy or build an expensive gaming computer, which can “run up to” a thousand dollars or even more. Americans have long been used to this: a laptop for work and mobility, a game console for relaxing and entertainment at home.
Unfortunately, in Russia they are sold with a huge markup. Gamer brothers get no mercy at all. But there is a simple way out: buy a console directly in the USA, where sales volumes are much higher and the price is much lower. Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony game consoles there can sometimes be bought for almost half the price. In some cases, the savings amount to tens of thousands of rubles.
Let’s see what is sold where!

PS4 from America
The specifications of the model released in 2013 exceeded all expectations. At that time, the game console had neither competitors nor counterparts, which helped increase sales many times over.
What is the PlayStation 4? Its specifications meet the demands of modern games even 7 years after its release! Its main advantages are:
The powerful x86-64 AMD Jaguar processor is equipped with 8 cores and is on par with the best PC counterparts;
The AMD graphics core is responsible for video playback and delivers 1,84 teraflops;
You can connect to the network via Ethernet, Bluetooth 2.1, and IEEE 802.11;
RAM — 8 GB DDR5;
The original internal storage capacity is 500 GB, but if that is not enough, the manufacturer has provided the option to replace it with a larger drive;
The console is equipped with AUX, USB version 3.0, a Blu-ray 6x CAV drive, as well as HDMI.
The console has everything for the most demanding and discerning players. The gamepad is also pleasing — it is wireless, measures 16.2*5.2*9.8 cm, and weighs only 210 grams. Its ergonomic design and lack of wires have done their job: the joystick is comfortable to hold in your hand and is barely noticeable. Among the advantages, it is worth highlighting the built-in six-axis gyroscope, the light bar, and the built-in microphone for communicating with friends or recording streams. The battery is lithium-ion and can last ~6 hours without recharging.
Where and how to buy Playstation 4 pro in the USA
There are several options for how to buy a Sony PlayStation 4 in America. One of them is purchasing on the official website, which offers the lowest price. Moreover, there is a minimum price offer there. That is, if you placed an order when the price on the website was 370 dollars, and after some time it dropped to 320, you will only be charged 320 dollars (i.e. the minimum price).
Another equally popular option is ordering a PlayStation 4 (standard or pro version) from the largest marketplace in the world, Amazon.Sellers often offer to pay a little extra and ship new games that are suitable for the console you selected. This is выгодно, since the average price of a "PS4" on Amazon is 300 dollars. For comparison, in the Russian offline store MVideo, the standard package will cost ~410 dollars.
Xbox 360 from the USA
The main module in the device is a 3-core IBM PowerPC processor (Xenon), providing high performance. It is built using 65 nm technology and totals 165 million transistors, and is also equipped with a bandwidth of 21.6 GB/s. The processor operates at a frequency of 3.2 GHz. VMX support is implemented.
The internal storage is available in two variations — 500 GB and 1 TB. The joystick is functional, practical, and runs on batteries. The game console supports LAN, Wi-Fi, and Ultra HD. Size 27*7.5*26.4 cm, weight 2,9 kg.
The new Xbox One S in America caused a sensation. This version of the console has more compact dimensions and is capable of outputting 4K resolution in movies and games. Xbox One is slightly larger in size (33.3*27.4*7.9 cm). By increasing the body size, the developers solved the overheating problem (at one time it cost Microsoft almost $1 billion). Xbox One S is better than its predecessor, and has higher operating efficiency, which does not depend on the number of cores or overclocking.
How to order Xbox from the USA
Buying an Xbox of any version will be much more выгодно in America. The recommended price of the game console in Russia is 410 dollars (~30,000 rubles). A similar product abroad costs about 265 dollars (19,500 rubles). If we talk about Xbox One Kinect, in Russia it costs 530 dollars rubles (39,000 rubles). In the USA — 375 dollars (27,500 rubles). A noticeable difference, right?
It is выгодно to buy Xbox in the USA through Amazon. The site often features pre-sales of new consoles at moderate prices (compared to Russia). There is also another marketplace — Ebay, which delivers orders worldwide. To save money, you should not forget to buy games in advance, since similar releases will later cost 1.5-2 times more in Russia.
Nintendo Switch from the USA
Nintendo Switch became the world's first hybrid console that can work both with a TV and as a handheld. It was released on 3 March 2017, but has already exceeded expectations. The console is very compact, 10.2*23.9*1.39 cm, weight ~300 grams. Nintendo’s home devices have not previously had such dimensions. The box design is stylish, featuring the signature white logo on a red background. Included in the package, the buyer receives:
console;
Joy-Con controllers (2 pcs) and safety straps;
instruction manual;
gamepad holder;
power adapter;
dock station;
manufacturer's warranty card;
HDMI cable.
The main part of the console resembles a tablet with a 6.2” capacitive touchscreen and a resolution of 1280*720 pixels. Each controller has a vibration motor, gyroscope, and built-in accelerometer. There is a lot to say about Nintendo, but it’s better to just try it. The new product has already found fans and did not go unnoticed thanks to the many usage options and advantages.

What the PS5 will be like
The developers shared secrets about the new console back in spring 2019. Sony Playstation 5 will use a 7 nm chip from AMD Ryzen as its central processor — with 8 cores and a Zen 2 base in tandem with the Radeon Navi GPU. Thanks to the updated design of the computing unit block, the device gains improved memory efficiency. As a result, we get a 1.25-fold increase in clock performance and a 1.5-fold increase in performance per watt.
The system is capable of supporting 8K resolution and delivering 120 FPS. The processor provides 9.2 teraflops of power. Test results place the new "PlayStation" between the RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2080 graphics cards.
The PS5 release date has not yet been determined exactly, but the company plans to release the console in winter 2020.
