Shop Around For The 64 Best Buys

Q. I am going to buy a Commodore 64 and tape deck plus a joystick and some games but don't know how to go about it.

A. To get the best deal you need to do quite a bit of shopping around.

Although the recommended retail price for the Commodore 64 is £230, with some careful hunting you should be able to find one for as little as £199.

The best places to look are the big chain stores, Dixons, WHSmith, Boots, etc. You should also be able to pick up some free leaflets from the stores giving you full information on the machine and its software and peripherals including all the prices.
