This year has proved to be really exciting for the world of gaming. With the upcoming consoles from the houses of Microsoft and Sony promising to usher in the next-gen of gaming, the stakes have never been so high in the console wars. While Microsoft has already revealed the prices and launch date for the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, looks like it is only a matter of time before fans hear more details about the PS5.

While many are saving up for their favorite console, GameStop is here to help fans grab the next-gen of gaming, even if they are a little low on cash at the moment. Gamestop provided documents and details about this to GamesBeat, the gaming division of VentureBeat.

GameStop will be providing various alternate methods of payment to customers once the consoles hit the market so that they do not miss out on the fun. Microsoft itself has come out with Xbox all access. This program allows users to pay for their choice of the console through installments of $25 or $35 per month for 24 months.

The prices of these consoles are reasonably high, and these options will prove to be really helpful. The expected retail price for the Series X console is $499, and fans have been expecting the PlayStation 5 to match this price. Although reports suggest that Sony is planning to keep the price of the PS5 lower than that of Series X, it still won’t be cheap.

The alternate payment methods Gamespot is offering include layaway, installment plans, and rent-to-own. The Gamespot layaway allows a user to choose a product and ask the store to keep the product in reserve for them until they can complete the payment. Along with this, GameStop is providing third-party installment options using payment services like Quadpay and Klarna. These third-party services will allow the users to pay their installments interest-free since they receive a commission from the retailer instead.

In addition to this, GameStop is providing a rent-to-own option. This allows the user to pay a portion of the price of the console and take the product home and pay off the rest of the sum within 30 days to 12 months. Moreover, users can even return the product with a 12-month time period.

These are pretty simple and convenient payment options and GameStop clearly want to make sure no one misses out this holiday season.
