Rent a gaming console from a neighbor near you
A sleepover, a tournament or a holiday week is a few days with a console. Renting one from a neighbor, with a couple of controllers and games, beats buying one for a weekend.

Renting a gaming console: common questions
Can I use my own account?
Yes, sign in with your account and sign out before returning. Ask the owner first if they prefer you do not install anything.
How does the security deposit work?
It is a hold on your card sized to the item’s declared value, never a charge. It releases automatically 72 hours after you return the item, unless the owner files a damage claim within that window.
