With "interest".....like a loan.....because when you borrow, you have to pay back what you borrowed plus a lot more! Man. I thought I could get that one to work. Sorry 'bout that.

Actually the "interest" is only about 9% for the US deal, which is a better rate than most credit cards offer, and is significantly better than the Rent-to-Own interest rates that typically border on criminal.

For someone without the money to afford the console in a lump sum, a subsidized console offers an inexpensive alternative without having to go through a credit check.
