Buying tips

• Check stock and bundles early — popular SKUs can sell out fast.
• Compare digital vs. physical versions (region, platform and resale value vary).
• Watch for auto‑renewal on subscription bundles (PlayStation Plus, cloud services).
• If upgrading storage or buying PCIe devices, confirm compatibility before purchase.
