Where's the best place to buy a secondhand PS3 console?

Misslilac

My sons PS3 sounds like a plane taking off its so loud so I think it's going to die anytime soon, so can anyone recommend where to get a secondhand one? I didn't want to use eBay as there's no warranty if I buy a broken one. Thanks.

Go to Game, you'll be able to return it for 12 months if it goes wrong.

^ This. I've known the guys and girls in my local GAME for years and I've even worked there myself, the process for their preowned stock is really good as they make sure it's in full working order before even taking it and then they give the console a clean before selling it on. Plus, they're probably cheaper than most of the other alternatives.

Even if they were a bit more expensive, I'd rather pay a bit more knowing I could take it back if anything went wrong.

I bought an 80Gb fat PS3 from Game that developed RSoD after 6 months, I took it back to the shop I bought it with receipt in hand and they swapped it for another 80Gb fat PS3 on the spot.

Yep, their returns policy is pretty awesome.
