Gaming: consoles and accessories

This section brings together the consoles and controllers in the catalogue. For the screen you plug them into, see televisions; for sound, headphones.

Because the purchase is made from the operator, a console can be taken in instalments on the same bill as your subscription, and online play depends on the same internet connection Moldtelecom provides.

What to look at

• The television — for current-generation consoles the screen's refresh rate matters, not just resolution. 120 Hz is felt in fast games.
• The connection — online play needs low latency and stability; a network cable stays steadier than Wi-Fi over long sessions.
• An extra controller — check the console generation, as models are not always compatible across generations.

What television do I need for a new console?

4K resolution helps, but the real difference comes from refresh rate: a 120 Hz screen renders motion more smoothly in fast games than a 60 Hz one at the same resolution. Check both figures in the television's specifications.

What internet speed do I need for online gaming?

For play itself, stability and latency matter more than raw speed; high speed matters when downloading games, which run to tens of gigabytes. A wired connection is usually steadier than Wi-Fi over long sessions.

Can I buy a console in instalments?

Yes, in monthly instalments over 24 months. The monthly figure appears on each product page next to the full price.
