Sure! First, download steam. Borderlands 2 is free this weekend. So, you wouldn't even need to buy a game yet. When you do decide to buy some games there are some amazing deals all the time even outside of the super awesome sales! No need to sign up for xbox live, or PSN. You can play online for free! You will need the saving because before long you are gong to figure you can play games in 1440, or 2560. You won't see these resolutions on consoles for a few(billion) years. Now the equipment can be expensive, but rest assured you make a large amount of saving in not paying subscriptions, and the deeply discounted games.
