For those in the latter category, the next thing to think about is to find great games to play on the PS4. If you are looking for a way to play games that are cheaper compared to most and if you happen to be in Australia, you may find your solution by dropping by a Blockbuster store.
Spotted by Redditor Rhinox92, Blockbuster stores in Australia have been said to be selling a number of PS4 games at marked down prices. A total of 15 PS4 games have been somewhat discounted from the original price, and Rhinox92 has also commented that this is a lot cheaper than those being sold at EB Games, which are already almost $100 at retail.
