What's the lowest priced game console in 2024?

Right now, Nintendo has the lowest price out of all the latest gaming consoles with the Nintendo Switch Lite at $199.

If you're looking for a gaming console that connects to your TV, then the cheapest options will be the Nintendo Switch or the Xbox Series S, both of which come in at the $299 price point.

You also might be able to find these consoles cheaper, elsewhere, by buying used. However, the small savings may not be worth it since these tend to be riskier purchases because the console performance is not guaranteed and the condition is sold 'as-is'.

If you want to save a few dollars, it's safer to make sure you're finding comparable prices from a reputable refurbished seller, who has properly repaired, cleaned and tested the game console to ensure proper function. For example, you can find a refurbished Nintendo Switch Lite for $142* or 28% off compared to new, at Back Market.

Refurbished tech is also typically backed by a guarantee, so you can buy with peace of mind. Back Market offers a 30-day money-back guarantee and a full 1-year warranty on all Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox purchases.
