Recently I bought a refurbished Xbox Series S from GameStop (it was the first used/refurbished "next gen" console I'd seen from GameStop). I look again a few weeks ago, and realized they had a bunch more in stock, so I decided to take a gamble on a couple more refurbished Xbox Series S consoles to see what GameStop actually does with these things... let me know in the comments what you think about these "refurbished" consoles... does GameStop actually do anything with them??

I don't play Raid Shadow Legends
@@UrLocalSuperMarioGuy well u should. I honestly didn’t at first either but it’s kinda addicting lol
I like the PS5 because it has 8K and 4K resolution.
@@UrLocalSuperMarioGuy I like ps6 because it has 100k resolution
Buy a ps4 slim or pro or original or xbox one from game stop and see
They really need to drop those pre owned/refurbished prices lol. $280 is a bad deal when a brand new Series S is only an extra $20
Agreed. But I guess if I keep buying them, they’ll keep it at $280 LOL. I guess I should stop
Isn't this the same place that sells used games at a 5 dollar discount? Never been a great place to find a good deal.
Exactly, I got a new one at Costco for $289
Awhile back I tried to sell an XBox 360, that I had added a 250gb hard drive to. I saw they had some without a hard drive for sale for around $100. They offered me $8 for it. The hard drive is worth that alone. I kept it and gave it to my roomies 8 year old son. At least someone is enjoying it without getting ripped off.
In walmart 209$
Yellow stickers = Clean only
Green stickers = No need to open
Red stickers = Send to Texas for repair
Stickers should always be removed by the shipping team. I know this because my fiancés brother works in the upstate NY office where most “Repairs” happen. P.s. sometimes they’ll clean a console on the outside and call it refurbished to charge the premium.
Thanks for the info, that’s good to know. I’ve seen those stickers on a bunch of the GameStop consoles I’ve purchased lol
I don't think there is a difference in price from preowned to refurbished.
I like how the top of the box is taped perfectly (both flaps even) and GameStop really couldn’t align that white strip 🤣🤣🤣
I didn’t even notice lol now I can’t unsee it 😂
So, as a GS SL2 (gamestops official title for a manager who runs multiple stores) the reason why we have those certified pre-owned boxes but sometimes the labels say gsreferb is because those are the only available "take home" boxes any gamestop can recieve. So, when someone brings in a gently used console for trade in, we have to do test on the consoles, it's wires and the controller. Normally, the controller is tested separately before the console is tested to ensure there is no stick drift or issue with the controller. IF the controller works, we move on to the console test. If there is an issue with the console we will let the trader know and if they still want to trade it in for some quick cash or extra trade credit, we mark it defective and we ship it out to the defective repair center. If the console works and has no issues (we normally only test them for about 30 minutes to an hour max) we take it in as certified pre owned or 'used'. Now, for used consoles, all we require is first-party controller (the controller for the trade has to be branded, we are not supposed to take in third party or off brand controllers) a power cord and an hdmi (for all consoles the requirements are different but the gist is to trade in a console with every component the brand new console would come with) what we don't require is that the console and controller matches. When we ship out defective controllers, the defect center parts controllers that are beyond full repair to make minor repairs on other defective consoles. Which is why you got a somewhat "custom" white controller. I definitely agree that gamestop should have separate boxes for refurbished products because it helps cut down on confusion
I bought a refurbished series x from Gamestop. I kept periodically checking the website and lucked up at 1am and was able to purchase. Took 2 weeks to send it because they didn't actually have one on hand, but still got it. The front of the console had some light scratches on it so I just bought a skin to cover it. You can tell it had been opened because the screw was through the back label. The controller that came was black with the center back portion being white so it have been refurbished as well. Haven't had any issues with it thus far. I went on and registered it with Microsoft and says it's under warranty until December. Honestly I didn't mind it being refurbished or having to wait because it was bought 100% with trade in credits.
2:31 is where it starts if you don't like ads
I had two console
from GameStop the first that I did have was acting slow and factory reset itself the second one was making this fan noise almost like a squeaking which I currently have, but standing vertical, made the noise stop
Well I do work for GameStop what I know is that unless there’s something broken they will fix it other wise they won’t bother
So even if nothing is fixed it’s still called refurbished?
I think it is considered refurbished if a store sends them in.
Cap. I bought a refurbished ps5 controller and it came broken and with so much stick drift
Refurbished consoles were traded in as defective in store and sent to the refurb center. They'll still give some trade in if it doesn't work
I bought a refurbished series x from them and it's A1. The controller that came with it was a custom blue one. I'd prefer the black but it's cool
Dang you got a refurbished series x from GameStop? Online or in store?
Walmart has the series X in stock now. If you have time to return and get a new one you can get it while it’s in stock.
@@clvn9ja thanks. Placed order
I am curious u must have like 100 systems what do u do with all of them resale them or collect them ?
you know what's more annoying than gamestop breaking consoles, raid shadow legends sponsorships.
People gotta do what they gotta do bro???
@@meikoluvv fr gotta get the bread
People need to make money bro...
@@ThaMourningAfter Congratulations fat feet, I know that they do that for money
Well atleast he puts up time stamp so we can skip conveniently. Though i understand where you are coming from.
Fortunately, I purchased the same thing from the same store for $216! And it is running great! It's just a matter of time until the launch of the black Series S with 1 TB SSD this September!
a certified preowned car is like a refurbished car. They're probably adopting the same language. It essentially means refurbished. Unless they're phasing out having preowned stock?
*game doesn’t open*
“Well, clearly the game works”
whenever i bought my series s from gamestop refurbished, the hardrive died on itself a few months later! make sure to make an update video
I just bought a series in good condition for $150 from this guy from OfferUp he had good reviews and showed various pics when I asked to see more pics of the console and shipped it the same day can’t wait until comes!!
Did you ever get your console?
What happened?
2nd controller looks like a series x(black) controller with robot white (series s)shell
Gonna be honest I really like the black and white Controller
lol it’s a series x controller
@@KayThePlug I know
that second controller looks kinda funky lol
This is a great unboxing video
GameStop is so insulting with their "used" prices. Especially when compared to what they're willing to pay for stuff.
I brought a pre owned one and it gets really hot when playing game like the black fan part is it normal?
Is it possible these will go up on your website?
Yes they will at some point soon
ngl that white controller with the black bumpers kinda look fire
The Frankencontroller actually looks quite nice
I really want to get like a PS5 someday so I can play Ultra HD Blu-rays and I only have one Ultra HD Blu-ray
Its 5 30 am and I got school at 9am💀
Great video bro definitely subscribing 🔥
How long did it take for it to come
I just bought a refurbished series x from GameStop and they sent me 2 hdmi cables and no power cord ! Other than that everything else was fine
lawn mowing simulator i wonder where dish washer simulator or clean your house simulator those two will be must play for every American and clean your car simulator
Where do u even put all that stuff
These are $500 pre-owned in Australia.
how long was shipping
Always looking forward to your videos mate
I think they gave you the controller that comes with series X 🤨🤔(yes I know it's no different just color)
You should do some more wii videos in the futurr
buy another lot of games or consoles from goodwill auction and see what kind of condition they come in.
Lawn Mowing Simulator. Gamers idea of touching grass. 🙃 I'll see myself out.
Seems like Amazon's renewed consoles are Microsoft Refurbished consoles. Or maybe I lucked out. Everything appeared to be 100% brand new, including the official box that says "refurbished". $360 CAD after tax. I saved about $100 compared to GameStop. It honestly looks like they replace the console casing, controller casing and sticks with brand new ones.
I thought at first that the weird controller was a Xbox One S controller
A brand new series s is £250 in uk
Do A Offer Up Video And What Not's. See How There Quality Of Products Are, And Do A Review. Just A Suggestion.
Love your videos!
I'm from Dallas but moved to grapevine, I know that zip code lol
So what do we think… is GameStop actually refurbishing these consoles?
I love refurbished consoles because it has everything inside and I really want either a PS5 and Xbox series X or S so I can play video games.
Refurbished consoles are bad you could find an Xbox series s on Best Buy I literally bought one for Christmas brand new and it was from my Best Buy in Manhattan because the Best Buy in Brooklyn doesn’t have them
Na they are probably not doing anything and selling
I think so.
I would buy new if available and refurbished or preowned if new is not.
Now the refurbished is $249.99, and there is no pre owned, so they dropped the price by $30.
After Watching Your Videos On Getting A Series S I Think Im Going Back To Team Microsoft To Get Game Pass Get My Catalog Of Games Back To Where It Used To Be.
This brother is buying Playstations and Xbox like they are nothing when I don't even have one😂
That's good deal man!
It’s only $20 less than retail (except I had a gift card so a bit less than that)
It’s not lol. It’s a $20 difference between pre owned and brand new
If you really want a cheap series S then they go for way less used on ebay. A lot of people sell them off cheap because they get a series X.
It's 209 on sale I think better deal ?
I like pre owned! I don't like a system messed with like game stop with the Xbox 360 with washers on cpu/gpu and sandpaper to the console Pre Owned 100%
Looks like the black shells of your xbox controller were swapped from a white one I believe. Guess that's refurbished gamestop quality
I really think they try and customize the refurb controllers. Idk why; some artistic flavor, I suppose.
The controller is custom made lol
I used to work at a gamestop 2years ago
I bought an Xbox series s for 225 and it came in its original box and it works perfectly fine
If you ever need to get rid of any consoles I’m right here man
The black and white controller is nicer anyways lol
the price between new & refurbished are not that much a part so I wouldn’t buy a used or refurbished console from GameStop just get a new one.
Why not? I am from Central America and I'm trying to get one refurbished but I wouldn't have guarantee because I can't send it back, is it a bad idea
series s price 299, for difference i choice the unused model.
Ok so can you either choose ads on your video or a sponsor as both is not good like choose one allready
that why i rather buy new than use or refurbished..it have a dent on it.
Already? Where can I get a refurbished PS5?
great xbox consoles but that was a weird controller
It’s a GameStop official sticker
Do you think 220 is a good price, that's what it cost now on gamestop
I have a sealed Duke Original Xbox controller and a sealed Controller S Original Xbox controller
Cool story
These consoles are now for sale on my website:
www.jrobgaming.com/products/gamestop-refurbished-xbox-series-s-console-1
www.jrobgaming.com/products/gamestop-refurbished-xbox-series-s-console-2
Im tryin to get help getting this but from Microsoft themselves jus need $308
Yellow sticker means pre owned
Love your content.
Thank you
why did they give you a series x controller
"Certified Pre-Owned" is used in place of "Refurbished" because it's believed the common person has more of a positive reaction.
I wish I could afford a new Xbox
I’m an employee for target and I got it for 270 new 😂😅
Plus I’m pretty sure that it’s only like $130 back when you trade it in at game stop
GameStop gave you a shitty deal on that, I literally got one a few days ago at target brand new with two free games for $249
Why would anyone do that its not worth it when you can pay $20 more for a brand new one... No way anyone is that cheap
Agreed.. but GameStop has done it for years on consoles and games, so I guess lots of people buy them
I brought one from Walmart for 249+ tax
I got a refurbished one from walmart for $220
Refurbished series s?
@@jrob0021 Yeah! I was surprised when I saw it, it was a series s and the controller was in perfect condition, it also came with the fortnite and rocket league bundle, it was a great purchase. Let me see if I can get the link
@@jrob0021 oh nvmd the price went up but when I bought it(5 days ago), it was around $225
you should buy some older consoles next
i'm still waiting for xbox 720,come on microsoft give us xbox 720
Love the Xbox one bro
You should be positively ashamed of yourself for that Raid plug bro.
I just got a xbox series s for 200 new
Nice video
bro stop encouraging then by buying these refurbished ones for this price its madness when a brand new cost 20 more with a warranty
They’re going to do it regardless of if I’ve bought 3 consoles or not lol. I’m a very small piece of the pie
Seriously why ?
I got this on woot for 250$ brand new GameStop sucks
That console is tiny !
Refurbished is still pre-owned, just repaired.
just for 20$ off?
Unfortunately
they obviously just using the same box so they dont need to make 2 of them, who cares if it says pre ownled lmao
Hi
Hi jacob😃
Custom controller lmao
I got mine for free lol
They are 269€ new in germany right now, so basically you paid more for a used console lol
Jo Anton hab vor mir ne Series S zu holen, überlege halt nur, ob ich ne gebrauchte vom Gamestop oder nen neue holen soll? Weil ne gebrauchte kostet halt eben 190€ und neu 270€ und ich muss mir halt auch noch nen Monitor holen?
👍🏾😄😀👍🏾
