Our Beginnings
Our journey which began in 2011, has seen us evolve into a recognised name in the preowned gaming sector.
Originally conceived as a repair hub, Console Central extended its services to the public and trade. Our technicians annually dissected hundreds of consoles, rigorously testing and harvesting vital components. These components played a crucial role in supporting the repair efforts of many games console repair businesses across Britain.
This hands-on experience with used video game consoles exposed us to the often subpar quality of the consoles circulating in the second-hand market. Honest people seeking cost savings would enter the marketplace hoping to find a decent preowned video game console but often found themselves burdened with substandard products, many plagued with latent or intermittent faults.
In response to this challenge, we committed ourselves to a solution - to elevate the standards in the used marketplace. Our promise is simple – to supply products that we would be proud to buy ourselves - a promise of quality and reliability in every refurbished console we offer.
