It needs to be Android with the Google Play store and all that without needing to be hacked onto it like a Kindle Fire or whatever.

Other than that, the cheaper the better but I guess the upper budget limit he has is like $400~? But cheaper would be better, he just wants it to play games on. He won't be a super heavy user.

 

Ideally from Amazon, Newegg, eBay, or even like Best Buy. If it's from a "big name" it won't make him nervous.

I won't know you're talking to me unless you reply/quote me.

Nexus 7? Basic and good. Old, but it's basically what you need when it comes to Android tablets. 

I once gave Luke and Linus pizza.

Asus Google Nexus 7 16GB Tablet (Gen 2), 7 Inches (Renewed) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018URWWLE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0rvnDbQ8NDCC0

 

I think it's fine for basic tablet use, especially since it will probably end up in a drawer somewhere.
