- So I bought a refurbished original PS4 from GameStop. This console was $400 when it came out 7 years ago, and somehow it still sells used/refurbished for $270! Check out the video to see how this console from gamestop turned out...

They didn't give him a controller. 😯
There is a controller
@@yunusrashid7229 Where? I can't see it? It's almost as if it's hiding in plain sight!
According to Google it says "The blinking blue light of death means the PS4 doesn't enter the power on state indicated by the solid white light. ... Sony suggests updating your TV firmware as a resolution, but also details how to turn off the PS4 completely by touching the power button for at least 7 seconds until the console beeps twice." Hope you heart my comment for helping you.
Oof

Don't you just love it that GameStop sands the shit outta their consoles! 😂
😭😭🤷🏻
Honestly I’d rather just have a few scratches on it instead doesn’t bother me I don’t look at the console anyway ..😂
@@creepergaming3280 they probably just try to make it look like a CUH-1216A or something like that since its newer
🤡
I love these refurbished console vids, keep it up!
Yes but it is painful to see that sanding paper work.
Yeah, if I got a ps4 like that I would've mentally perished. 0.0
The hh
@@rockyramsy yeah I hate that too
@@rockyramsy It feels painful thank god the PS4 I’m getting is new
You know how Gamestop does, they will buy something from you for like $2 then turn around and sell it at full market value.
I Love ur vids. This helps me know what to expect before buying a ps4. thx! 😊👍
Good old blue light of death. That is definitely coming back. I bought one refurbished from GameStop that did the same thing. I ended up taking it apart and ACTUALLY fixing it myself.
love your channel dude
I guess they won’t ever get it right
The console is used. What do you expect
8:21 as soon the system started a PlayStation ad popped up 🤣🤣
Did u ask for camo? Nah u don't get to choose your controller be grateful
First, before assuming GameStop put sandpaper on the glossy panel, check the model number on the bottom of the system. If it’s cuh-12xx, then it’s like that from the factory. If it’s cuh-10xx or cuh-11xx, then it has been sanded.
You can see the scratches it's clearly been sanded
That does look like a faulty console man. Do the ultimate test, try a foreign disc And if doesn't work then send it back
Hahaha you're right
Yes! CRAIG IS LOVE CRAIG IS LIFE
;-;
Lol it's used what do you expect?
@@clutteredfiend1417 is that a DankPods reference
Maybe GameStop Will Get It Right Soon In The Future
the ad that you put after the ps logo appeared on your monitor was a ps ad that started with the white ps logo. A very seamless transition...
I love you lol thank you went mine went from saying finishes downloading in 5 hours to 1:16 minutes doing the open home DNS definitely helps for those who are watching this 💯💯
@jacobR i got a question do you keep these systems or do you resell them to get new consoles for your vids??
He prolly sends them back
My brother has that same PS4 and it's in great condition
Love ur videos wwhen u bring 2 hand consoles
I think they just grabbed a controller from their store inventory
It's exactly what they do.
What should I check for if im buying one from a pawn shop in thinking of just checking the stickers on the back and if it runs a disk in the store but should I test anything else in the store?
Yeah I don’t like when they sandpaper it either matte finish is always the way to go to avoid that issue why can’t they just leave it glossy
I wish GameStop would hire you and you could tell them how to do consoles right
This console is used what do you expect? Imao
@@unshakenhorse632 A working not sanded down unit
I love the lightning
i only bought 2 things from them in the past 19 years. that was my Xbox elite 2 controller and my gamecube back when gc came out. i rather take my chance on ebay lol
I got one of these for Christmas and there not that bad, but you need to watch out for something because I got a HDMI cable that had been chewed up and I got a gold ps4 controller with a very stiff and a lose stick. There not bad if your getting something to start out with
use autosol then brasso to make the scrached bits shiney again
Tbh I don’t know why u giving them shit wouldn’t you want a camo controller. But yes the PS4 does looks bad because of the sanding but remember Sony got rid of the glossy finish and put on the regular finish the camera isn’t picking it up very well
I was happy with the controller because it was in good condition. It's just funny because it's like they pull a random controller out of a box and stick it in with your console. Also this console is supposed to be glossy. The PS4 slim and pro are the ones that aren't glossy
Dude the controller it comes with doesn't matter if it comes with blue it comes with blue or any color period.
GameStop gives whatever controller the person trades in with it you don’t get to choose
Exactly
if i have a kid and buy them a glossy console in the future and its sanded down, we are going back to gamestop and getting our money back.
Got mine just now so far nothing happens works fine like new installing the application of final fantasy 7 remake then I’m gonna test it out by playing the first part of the remake 😊
ofc dude, GameStop is watching all these vids and they change things up, maybe game stop is changing for the better
Maaan how far are you in ff7 cuzzz boy have i got tips and advice for you 😃
@@silenceafterviolence2596 I just completed it already went back to play it again on hard mode 😝
You know if it wasnt for the fact that you know they sanded it down it would look pretty clean honestly
Maybe like a few years ago I wanted to upgrade from my original PS4 to a PS4 slim from GameStop and I never got around to do it and honestly I’m glad I didn’t because most of the videos I’ve seen on PS4 consuls or any Consol for that matter from game stop always don’t work or stop working so yeah luckily I didn’t upgrade from GameStop
I bought an OG ps4 for 160 recently very good condition with 2 controller's of Facebook market place
here in my country, $300 will get you a new ps4 slim with 4 bundled games and 3 months free psn subscription, and gaming consoles are usually priced higher here than in other countries,
My Brand New PS4 Slim Flashed Blue And Wouldn't Stop
But I Fixed It :)
You ordered this online? Nah man.... Nah.... That's a biiiig gamble lol
Wait why?
I love this videos
A bit steep for an old ps4 model. But love your content for buying mysterious consoles!
Can’t wait for PS5
Same
We gonna see PlayStation 5 in November, not much time 🔥
@@SingersPro but i thought its on 2021
ItzRaf no , the company said that the PlayStation 5 will arrive end of the year , in holidays , probably in November or December
SuperSpaghettisauce unfortunately they not
Double boxed because of porch pirates. The magic eraser method just makes it look old and weathered.
I think they sand it dawn because the glossy part probbably had too many scratches
I've actually only had one bad console from gamestop which was a backwards compatible ps3 which was caked with dust I couldn't even use it. I take way better care of my consoles than that it was sad seeing all that dust.
I wouldn't buy anything from Game Stop. They are garbage. I bought a refurbished PS4 slim 1tb from Sony Direct and it was in perfect condition possibly never used. It only cost me 249 dollars and it comes with a one year warranty.
My ps4 did that and its back on working normal again now
Constant blue light is BLOD (blue light of death) there is also RLOD (red light of death) and finally GLOD (green light of death)
Are you out of your mind a new slim model is 299 you paid 300 for this junk
What do you do with these consoles after the review?
Probably takes it back or sells it?
Those old ps4 models always has issues idk why but they do it's weird
Didn't the later fat models stop using the glossy panels on the left side? Obviously can't tell it from the video but maybe you got one of those instead?
JANUARY 1st 2021 Ah Memories
So when buying a gamestop "refurbished" console you are basically guaranteed.
1. They don't actually refurbish it
2. They don't give you a matching controller
3. And they sandpaper the hell out of it to where it doesn't even look refurbished and in fact looks worse than used.
what controller?
300 dollars for a sandpaper brick. That's pricey. Should have used store credit to make that purchase. lolz
I got my xbox one console from gamestop abt 4 years ago for about 150 dollars it has worked fine with some problems along the way gamestop can be good but at the same time I also bought a ps4 and it never worked and I didnt buy the warranty so I wouldn't be able to give it back
thanks im getting one on wed and imma watch a tutorial
hey Jacob r can you do a video what happens when you play PS2 in 2020 still worth it can you make that video Jacob r please
It's worth it I still playing
Game stop kinda cool bc Games cheap for Xbox 360 and for newer consoles the games are expensive
Because most of the 360 games are sports games

It’s alway hit or miss when you buy refurbished consoles from GameStop you get different controllers when people trade them in return it if there’s a better one
Where is the link for your monitor
Sorry I forgot to include it. 28" 4k BenQ Gaming Monitor: amzn.to/33mzs1N
What is the definition of refurbished? I thought it is faulty product which has been repaired by its manufacturer.
If there is scratches it should be used.
The flashing light mean its powering on
Is there anyway to record 1080p on ps4?
I'm not sure, I use an external screen recorder
Pro .
flashing blue light for minutes and then turning off means faulty hard drive
Of course
Do a set up tout
its on the part were the power brick would go!!!!!
I bought a ps4 from GameStop and I keep getting the ce-34878-0 code is it because it’s refurbished or what I need help
Update ur games and console and restart it
yeah for some reason PS4 is pretty expensive especially when compared to the og Xbox one.
my ps4 refurbished was perfect lucky me I guess
They did you dirty
How did he know what color the controller was
GameStop gotta stop ruing these consoles it’s just sad GameStop’s used to be good but it’s all down hill from here
UV
I bought one too I feel guilt for giving GameStop my money😓😂
Does It still work at least??
Buy a wii u with mario kart 8 dlc and game
were is the controler??
I got mine for 170 off of letgo in great shape. You got scammed bud
I live in Denmark and gamestop sadly closed here :( Even though i had a love hate relationship, i didn't want it to close
Is it closed for good or just temporarily?
@@jrob0021 i'm 99% sure it's for good, because of economic problems for like the past 5 years. It's honestly really sad, cuz it's the only real life store dedicated to games. People always knew what you wanted in there, and would always help you.
I live in greece and we never had gamestop
I dont have gameshop and I'm here still using xbox 360 :(
It better to buy a used console at game stop then refurbished console
So far my used ps4 from gamestop is work really
Fat verison made in 2014 got it in 2016
Anyone getting pc? Which is worse btw Sony or Microsoft? Which do you prefer I get PS4 or Xbox one?
Ps4
Wheres the controller at
2:45 they didn’t give you a ps4 controller that’s a shame man I suggest you get a refund
I ordered one and how long does shipping takes?
Hey did u get it yet? I might buy one but I’m scared it won’t work
@@theldc6747 yep, it took 3 days to get to me.
@@theldc6747 The ps4 i have was refurbished but the fan is very silent. Its worth it if your local gamestop ranned out of playstaions or any console your looking for.
@@numbentity9839 I’m getting it online. Is that a gamble? It’s on GameStop for only 217$ refurbished and ppl have been saying to not trust GameStop espacially online. Would you suggest I wait until Black Friday so I can get a good price or just buy the refurbished ps4 on GameStop for 217?
@@theldc6747 I went to my game stop because i wanted a ps4 but they told me they can order one for me only because they had ranned out. So i paid 307 and it came to my house in 3 days. With a new controller with a ps4 that you can barely tell is on because of the amazing fan. I wouldnt wait until black friday because 10/10, they will sell out.
but i thought you have a uncharted ps4 ??
Try the pawnshop💯💯there consoles work fine💯
Vault boy!?
You could do dkoldies
My brother had that controller
Lol
I love the original PlayStation 4 design more than PlayStation 4 slim
Yeah, it's cool. I have a silver Batman original PS4, but I dropped it a few years ago and it doesn't work anymore
Jacob R yea , the problem with the original PlayStation 4 is the sound and heat , so that’s why I bought PlayStation 4 slim , but i have both ,
@@jrob0021 sounds like a loose apu to me that happened to mine I dropped it got the blood I tried the washer trick and it worked I recommend doing it and see if it works
u should call gamestop and tell them why they put sand paper
No they won’t
Poggers bro
10:31 EARTHQUAKE
I got that ps4 controller
They didnt even give him a controller tf....
tahats so cool
Return it and get used
They really used sandpaper on a console? Why? That does not make any sense.
