    Ask on here, price would be a few hundred or more if you want. Not including the monitor which can just be reused

    Probably doesn't apply to you but I'd recommend the Onlive service to anyone with decent broadband. Don't need a gaming PC for that. You can play over 200 PC games on your PC/laptop/tablet/smart phone for £6.99 a month. Macs too.

    You can also pick up a cheap Onlive console on eBay and play on your TV (some of the new smart TV's have the app built in).
    About £25 second hand I'd guess. I paid £30 for mine but that was a while ago. They are fetching less now I believe.

    Not for Uber gamers who want all the latest titles but there's some great games for casual play. The great thing is you can download the small Onlive app, and play any game for free for half an hour or just watch others play in the arena. That's unique I think. Worth doing just to check out what Cloud Gaming is about.

    I think the tech is pretty amazing; I'm going to get a new gaming rig next winter but this let's me play on a rubbish lappy for now. :)

    ^^ Living the future there, is it not laggy then. It just needs high quality broadband and it plays fine, even multiplayer ?
