Our used gaming consoles exceed expectations as we aim to provide the highest quality. Every console is thoroughly tested, serviced, and reconditioned, ensuring we deliver like-new packages ready to impress and entertain.
Choosing the right gaming console is essential, as most games are not cross-compatible. Therefore, choose a console on the right platforms if you want to play with friends or hope to play exclusive games. The following quick guide will make choosing a used gaming console that suits your needs easier.
Choosing the Right Gaming Console
To choose the right gaming console, you need to ask yourself three main questions. While the most popular gaming console categories all seem very similar, they offer unique gaming experiences.
Question 1: Do you want to play online with friends?
You need to choose the same gaming console platform to play all the same games as your friends and compete with them online. You don't have to buy the exact same console, but it has to be on the same platform.
For example, if you buy a PS5 console, your friends with a PS4 will be able to play with you online if the game is available on both consoles. The same applies to Xbox consoles and Nintendo.
Question 2: Are you on a budget?
Gaming consoles in South Africa can be costly, especially the latest consoles at new prices. Looking for cheap gaming consoles second hand in the Marketplace might result in disappointment as you never know what you get.
Our used gaming consoles are all fully serviced and tested and have a warranty, giving you the best prices and peace of mind.
If having the same console as friends is unimportant, we recommend choosing the PS4 or one of the Xbox One consoles. The Xbox Series S falls into a similar price category, but remember, it's a digital-only console, which means you cannot buy cheaper pre-owned games.
Question 3: Do you prefer playing at home or having a handheld console?
Handheld consoles allow players to play from anywhere, a great choice for kids on long drives. The Sony PSP is outdated, and few games are available. However, the Nintendo Switch range impresses with the latest technology and is available in various price brackets, starting with the cheapest Switch Lite.
The PlayStation Portable handheld console is incredible but not a truly mobile console. You need to be in the vicinity of your PS5 to play games, and therefore, won't be able to access games away from home.
Should I Buy Used A Used Gaming Console?
Buying a second hand gaming console is a great way to save money and still enjoy the same benefits as brand-new consoles. You can play all the same game, download apps, play online, and even score a bigger deal with our second hand games.
There's no denying the risks of a used gaming console, especially buying privately, as you wouldn't know if something is wrong.
As gaming console experts, we take the risk away by testing every aspect of a console before we make it available to our customers. We are confident in the quality and provide a three-month warranty with every used gaming console.
So, should you buy a used gaming console? Yes, but choose a trusted seller to verify the condition and quality. It's worth paying slightly more to get a warranty than to save and pay for repairs later.
