Most repairs at Game Over start from $29.99–$75 for diagnostics and deep cleaning. Common fixes like HDMI/USB port replacement, overheating, or disc drive issues typically range $75–$175 depending on the console (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, or retro models). We always give you a clear, upfront quote with no hidden fees.
Is repairing consoles worth it?
Yes, almost always! Repairing saves you hundreds compared to buying new (a new PS5 or Xbox Series X costs $450–$700+).
