Should I buy a refurbished PlayStation4?

The iOutlet has recently expanded into the console market. We now sell refurbished games consoles and accept them through our trade-in service. This is a service we have already successfully offered on refurbished iPhones, tablets and smart-watches. Just take a look at our customer reviews, people love The iOutlet! Now, we offer a range of consoles from manufacturers such as Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, including the PlayStation 4; selling over 110 million units since its release back in 2013. This brings us nicely on to this query…

Why should you buy a PlayStation 4?

Choosing a second-hand console has a number of benefits, with the first major selling point being the price. Looking across the PlayStation 4 range, you can make an average saving of up to £50 compared to promoted Sony retailers. Each console is graded cosmetically, tested manually and comes with a 12-month warranty! This means you’ll know you’ve bought a refurbished PS4 that has been looked after previously and has a 12-month warranty to future-proof your purchase if any problems occur.

Environmental benefits of buying a refurbished PS4

Choosing a refurbished PlayStation 4 as opposed to a new item also has environmental benefits. With no manufacturing stage for the refurbished device, the life of the console is extended lessening the impact on the environment. Buying second-hand offers a sustainable alternative.

Each console comes with a power cable, an HDMI cable as well as a controller. Each cable is PAT tested and each controller is tested to its full function. All items that come with the console are also covered in the 12-month warranty.

PlayStation 4 Options

When it comes to choosing the right console, you’re spoilt for choice. The Sony Playstation 4 released many alternatives since it was first unveiled back in 2013, giving yourself more choice to suit your preferences. For example, the casual gamer would look to go for a PlayStation 4 Slim 500GB or the original PlayStation 4, as they may not need the extra processing speed or graphics to support their use. Alternatively, a competitive gamer would look to go for a PlayStation 4 Pro, to make sure the latest online games run as smoothly as possible.

If you’re wanting to play on 4K resolution TV, the PlayStation 4 Pro can support these graphics. Along with the majority of models, you’ll have the choice of a black or white finish with each console, as well as memory choices ranging from 500GB to 2TB. The memory choice links back to the type of gamer you are too; the more games you play, the more memory you’ll need. This customisation enables you to only pay for exactly what you need, saving you money again!

Of course, if the PlayStation 4 isn’t for you, we do offer variations of the Microsoft Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
