As a tech and shopping writer, I spend every working day scouring the web for the latest and greatest deals on TVs, smartphones and games consoles. Even amid the waves of January sale discounts on premium gadgets, they\u2019re still not cheap, with the latest consoles costing close to \u00a3400 \u2013 if not more.<\/p>\n

However, I\u2019ve just found a way to get consoles including a PlayStation 5<\/a> and Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> for less than \u00a311. I spotted the deals at Raylo<\/a>, a lesser-known retailer that lets shoppers pay for their gadgets in instalments rather than paying the full price upfront.<\/p>\n

Here, both the PS5 Digital<\/a> and Switch 2<\/a> cost \u00a310.99 per month on a 36-month subscription, while the PS5 Pro 2TB<\/a> costs \u00a317.99. Each console is brand new too, but Raylo also offers refurbished models at lower prices, as well as the option to shorten the payment period for those happy to pay a little more.<\/p>\n

Considering these days gamers must fork out hundreds of pounds to get their hands on the best consoles, this is a much more affordable alternative to the likes of Amazon. The retail giant currently charges \u00a3384.95 for a Switch 2<\/a>, while the PS5 Digital<\/a> comes in at \u00a3367 (was \u00a3429.99).<\/p>\n

As well as game consoles, Raylo also offers smartphones and laptops like the iPhone 17<\/a> (\u00a323.59), iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/a> (\u00a335.59) and MacBook Pro M5<\/a> (\u00a339.95). Raylo\u2019s deals work like a lease, in that at the end of the chosen subscription term, customers can upgrade to a new device of their choice, keep the same one and continue the monthly payments or purchase the device.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, it\u2019s worth noting that Raylo\u2019s those opting to cancel their subscription must give the device back. To apply for a Raylo PS5<\/a> or Switch 2<\/a> subscription, customers have to fill in an application form, after which Raylo performs a soft credit check.<\/p>\n

For those preferring to buy outright, EE<\/a> slightly undercuts Amazon with its \u00a3379 Switch 2 deal. Elsewhere, the PS5 Pro 2TB is \u00a3699.99 at Argos<\/a>. As for Raylo<\/a>, the site has earned a 4.5-star Trustpilot rating after more than 20,000 reviews.<\/p>\n

One happy customer said: \u201cRaylo is the real deal. I was dubious at first, but my experience was first class. From beginning to end, easy and hassle free process. Received my PS5 in two working days, courier information was well communicated too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cEasy to set up account and place order. Super quick delivery with our brand-new PS5 arriving the next day. Affordable monthly payments. Very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not everyone had a smooth experience, as this shopper said: \u201cDelivery was fast waiting two days. Great PS5 console, however I ordered one with two controllers and have only received one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, this gamer said: \u201cHow quick it was from acceptance to delivery was outstanding. The Nintendo Switch 2 arrived in perfect condition, my grandson and I were up and running in three days and have been enjoying it ever since, smashing job.\u201d<\/p>\n
