Buying a refurbished games console

Looking to buy a refurbished games console in the UK? The iOutlet stocks a range of professionally refurbished consoles, including refurbished PlayStation, refurbished Xbox and refurbished Nintendo Switch models, from both current and previous generations. Every console is fully tested and graded by our team, so you know exactly what you are getting at a lower cost than buying new. Take a look at what is in stock below.

Whether you’re a PlayStation fan, prefer Xbox, or enjoy Nintendo games, buying refurbished lets you save money without compromising on performance. Every console is checked, cleaned and tested to make sure it works correctly, so you get a reliable machine for less than the price of new.

Cosmetic condition varies by grade, but this does not affect how the console works. You will see the grade on every listing, from A+ Pristine down through A Excellent, B Good and C Grade, so you can decide how much cosmetic wear you are happy with and pay accordingly. A lower grade performs exactly like a top one, it just carries a few more marks from its previous life. Full details are on our grading page.

Not sure which way to go? Compare the three brands to find your fit: refurbished PlayStation for its exclusives, refurbished Xbox for raw power and Game Pass, or refurbished Nintendo Switch for play-anywhere flexibility. If you want the newest hardware, see our next gen consoles, and if you are just starting out, our best consoles for beginners guide points you in the right direction.

Looking to sell your old console before you upgrade? Head to our sell my console section to find out what yours is worth, in cash or store credit.

FAQs

Is it worth buying a refurbished games console?

Yes. Refurbished games consoles cost less than new models while still offering reliable performance. Every one is fully tested before sale, so you get the savings of buying used without the risk of buying privately, and it helps reduce electronic waste by extending the life of a working console.

Which games console should I buy?

It comes down to the games you want to play. Go for PlayStation for its exclusives, Xbox for raw power and Game Pass, or Nintendo Switch for play-anywhere flexibility. If you are just starting out, our best consoles for beginners guide can help you pick.

What do the A+, A, B and C grades mean?

Grades refer to cosmetic condition only. A+ Pristine looks close to new, A Excellent has very light wear, B Good shows some visible marks, and C Grade carries more noticeable signs of use. Every console is fully tested and works the same whatever the grade. You can find out more on our grading page.

Can I trade in my old games console?

Yes. You can trade in your old console for cash or store credit to put towards your next one. Just search for your device here to see what it is worth.

Are refurbished consoles reset and ready to use?

Yes. Every console is reset and prepared for a new user before it is sold, so it is ready to set up as your own out of the box.

Do refurbished consoles support online gaming and updates?

Yes. Refurbished consoles support system updates and online features, as long as the manufacturer still supports that model. Older consoles play online for as long as their servers stay live.

Is buying refurbished better for the environment?

Yes. Buying refurbished helps reduce electronic waste and lowers the demand for new manufacturing, since it keeps a working console in use rather than sending it to landfill.
