More consoles from Wish.com... usually stuff I buy from Wish is overpriced, but this time, the Special Edition Halo Xbox Series X consoles I bought were underpriced! Do you think I got a good deal?

i will destroy your sponsor with two words:
the marvels
I don't want to download the game please stop forcing us to get this crap
@@thealien_ali3382 nobody is forcing you to do anything...? lol
@@thealien_ali3382Its a sponser buddy nobodys forcing you to download anything.
@@thealien_ali3382 it’s a sponsored segment that helps Jacob , you can chose to to ignore it and not download it lol
Halo not being back compat with the disc is the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen lmao
I'm pretty sure they did that, so people will play MCC instead
@@itstommymate dang
Was thinking the same, but I believe you can still play Halo 3 from the disc directly. They had the whole funeral for it's online last year I believe ( may have been the year before lol).
@Joe-y Oh well. Just have to buy Halo CE again as DLC for MCC
@@itstommymate it’s ok, it’s on gamepass which is ok but still :/ the option is what’s important
Insane that Wish has better customer service than DKOldies
Because even wish has standards😂
Would you believe there's actually a skin that looks just like this design? I bought it to try it out, and it looks EXACTLY like this haha got it for 10 dollars
Do you have the link for it or if you got from Amazon or eBay?
I got one for 9 because they weren't using it anymore
Let me get that link
@svulieutenant that's weird, I commented the link but I don't see it 😳 guess it had to get removed 😅 well, yeah I got it at Amazon haha
Except it dont have a skin for the paint splatter which really throws it off hence the $8 wrap that looks half centered
The protection layer on the console is supposed to be speckled paint looking, I bought the halo edition
Ah yeah you're right, I remember that now
>suspiciously cheap >600$
Pick one buddy
Given that most people are selling the console for $900+, yes that is suspiciously cheap. It’s expensive for an Xbox Series X but suspiciously cheap for the most wanted special edition of the Series X.
@@jolteon345 it's 100$ over MSRP for a used/refurbished console. Just because others are worse overpriced doesn't mean that it's cheap.
@@SPNKrZtrue, i paid around $450 for my pretty much brand new series x, the only odd thing is mine also didn’t have a box and also looked like it wasn’t even used at all, the power and hdmi cables were still in their original wrap yet the console and controller didn’t have their original wrap on them, super weird, i wonder if a lot of these aren’t just straight up brand new consoles that had damaged retail boxes or very small surface imperfections and were sold as a big lot to some distributor that then went on to sell them on wish
@@jolteon345surprisingly its still the only special edition series X console they’ve done iirc, other than one off or 1/5 giveaway consoles. really a shame
I have a theory on this. People probably rented the consoles from a place like Rent-A-Center. They probably held the game codes, possibly original boxes too, as collateral until the console is “paid off”, so someone doesn’t just rent it for a month to get the game. After two years of gouging people with the renting, they decided to just throw the consoles on Wish as “refurbished” after making sure that they worked at a basic level. The company would have at least broken even, if not making a significant profit, after selling the consoles for $600 each.
i could see that, or they could be a mix of costumer returns and some new consoles that probably had damaged retail boxes, which would make the second one make more sense since it was essentially brand new just without its original box
I wanted to get this version when it came out but too many scalpers.
About the dim light on the controller, there's a setting where you can change the brightness of the light in the controller and console. Maybe you should check it out.
Bro had the come up of the year! Always great content on this channel! Keep it coming 💪
I effin love your channel man. Keep up the good work!!!!
Could it be that these consoles were stolen from a retailer and then sold on Wish at a discount? It would explain the lower price, great condition, unopened state, and unredeemed codes. Just pair it with various states of packaging and add the occasional scratch and boom you got a stolen xbox sold without arousing suspicion.
Unlikely, but I suppose it’s possible.
I tried getting one of those brand new two weeks ago and a day later on GameStop it suddenly was sold out 😢
I would guess customer returns as “faulty” to retailer (hence lack of box for second) and then retailer may have deal to refurbish and sell, when tested their fine so just get resold like that. I worked for a company in the the UK which has similar deal and a lot of consoles/games will just be opened but are basically change of mind but a lot of retailers here won’t accept like that without it being unopened hence people say “faulty” to get return.
I suppose $600 isn't a bad price for a Halo edition Series X. I wouldn't call it suspiciously cheap though. I bought a regular Series X from OfferUp for $400 that came with 2 controllers that have rechargeable battery pack, 4 games ( Resident Evil Village, Call of Duty Vanguard, Battlefield 2042, and Judgment), an RGB stand, and of course the HDMI cable and power cord.
yeh but thats a regular one, collectables are much more
In regards to the left button on the D-Pad, I had the same issue with a brand new controller I bought from Gamestop. I opened the controller and loosened a screw and it fixed it.
I never use OEM cables. I have third party cables that I feel are a lot better so when I buy a new console I just plug it in to my existing set up. Same with batteries. I have rechargeable batteries that I either buy with the console or existing if it didn't change from old gen.
That message they wrote to you at 7:40 was AI stuff
It at least took them 2 more seconds to have chatGPT write it then just copy paste a generic message. That us what Jacob was grateful for. Now to see what their next Ai message is lol.
@LeesReviews69 It was stolen from a Reddit quick fix post for the xbox one controller from 7 years ago . You can google a line of the reply and it comes right up .
You can dim the controller light in settings, it's where you update in accessories settings
The movies and TV app I would have kept. Is hands down the best media player app on the Xbox. Plays pretty much every video file that I throw at it.
The Halo controller is not dim from Factory you can go into the console settings and adjust the brightness in personalize it to your liking
The fact they said to blow into your controller like a Genesis cartridge is priceless 😅
You can adjust the controller LED in the accessory app.
That design is dope
Our ideas of cheap are very, very different., lol.
The light on the controller might be like that because there is a setting on the Xbox to change how bright or dim the light can be on a controller, and maybe it just didn’t get reset when the Xbox got reset
You can turn up the Xbox button brightness on the controller in settings.
I'd be willing to bet they bought a bundle of consoles from some mom and pop game store that went out of business or even a gamestop, but in nay case that they bought a huge bundle of stuff from some store that went out of business and they had all of these in it.
the free game is registered to the serial number. so even if you wipe it you can re download it every time it is wiped.
You can adjust light on controller from dim to bright.
You can change the brightness of the Controller light in the xbox settings. I would guess someone had it set to lower light option. & it stayed.
You can manually dim the light on the controller and console.
They sell new as refurbished because they have so many from console scalping.
Bro you literally found the scalpers
there was a halo xbox in a pawnshop’s near me for like $450 it was on a shelf with the controller and i didn’t ask if it had the box or cables
I have a theory that even tho people are trying to resell these consoles they are not moving. So they end up using then for a little while. They then put them as refurbished to not be seen as a scalper.
when jacob uploads you already know its gonna be a good day 😤🙏🏻
you can adjust the light for controller in accessories settings
Take the faceplate off the controller, take a razor and remove the slightest amount of plastic from the edge of the hole/circle on the side the D-pad wasn't clicking. I had this happen before and the D-pad wouldn't click because it was ever so slightly hitting the edge of the cut out for the D-pad button.
Edited: HAHA IT WAS AN ILLUSION AS I ZOOMED INTO THE VIDEO AND IT IS A REGULAR POWER PLUG 🔌
That Power Plug into the back of the Console looks significantly larger than the standard Xbox Series X power ply which is rather small so I’m not sure if it’s an illusion on video or if it’s actually a larger plug cause it definitely looks way bigger than
Do 360 games work natively on the series X or do you have to download a key to allowed to be played on the series X? I'm surprised their key IP Halo did work when you inserted it? ....Later
Watching you so hung up on the left dpad is both funny and aggravating. Especially for an underpriced series x off wish....
You kinda forgot to blur the profile top right at 3:46 :D Well wishes for Jacob
Open up the controller.
Damaged boxes during shipping, can't sell as new?
I'm not gonna open up the controller when they can just send me a working one or give me a refund
Its takes 5 min.
Compared to days going back and forth with emails and Postals. For a special edition which they might not have stock?
Wow i love the look of this xbox. Im a pc gamer but if i were to ever buy an xbox this would be the one. Great find Jacob
As far as the pristine cords not being used is due to the fact you can use the xbox onex power cord and hdmi.
My local market place had one for 300 bucks sealed in box. I still kick myself not grabbing it
That console was refurbished by a company called trg they sell liquidated merchandise from Walmart.
what really gets to me is when people use the term NEW for the open box items...
I remember being pissed off af when the scalpers bought all the halo edition ones, now seems like theres a billion everywhere but i no longer want to pay the price, i have a regular one.
Their reply about the controller was stolen word for word from a Reddit quick fix guide . Chinese sellers will do this a lot . One seller on Amazon actually stole and emailed me my own fix guide from my review that I'd written about the product breaking and how to fix it . Apparently they were sending it out to everybody that left negative feedback about their item . Unless the reply is poorly translated , you can guarantee that they just copied and pasted it from some random person on the internet and it may or may not pertain to your item .
I love future fight! Its been out for quite some time but glad its getting shown some love 😁
I think the amazon box skin is the best I’ve seen yet.
Wish is at it again, lol. Keep up with the amazing vids Jacob!
About the controls you sould be able to register it and send it in to Microsoft on you account no problems... it's even free shipping... mine went in the other day. 😢😢😢
You can change the brightness of the controller
Yeah the dim light is a feature for playing in the dark
I bought a used ps4 slim last year and it had a baseball game in the disc drive
if you clone a xbox ssd be for you turn it on the code will stack eveyr time you sine in up 10 time
Better than dkoldies
Are they for sale?
If the ps5 would have the nice boot up sound like the Xbox SE ones.
The console wasn’t region locked ? This looks like an awesome seller. Can you send me link? I think I want this lol
if u buy an refurbished xbox from microsoft it comes new as well and u can clearly it got stickers from microsoft so basically they just buy those from microsoft in bulk and they just sell those for higher price then microsft
*Could these consoles be refurbished by Microsoft themselves? Could be why the original seals/stickers appear new.. maybe they were replaced?* 🤔
I was about to comment this very thing.
When the controller gets like that next time use some running alcohol in a spray bottle does the trick every time
This guy never fails to make us smile
Well this is a new one
Npc comment
45 likes is wild
I didn’t know that Apple Music was available for the XBOX
Gotta love the grammar mistakes in that message you got back ('you're' instead of 'your' etc.). LOL.
How long ago was this video made? Cause Target had and has the series X for $349
The halo game is console specific, it will always be redeemable no matter how many times it's re-download.
they actualy dont have carbon switches they have metal traces and thin metal domes that are depressed to activate the switch i actualy fix one with the same problem that i had the integrity of the dome just gives out and cant return to the original position and no longer clicks
i’ve found way more often that issues with switches on controllers are usually from someone spilling soda or something sugary on them
the only Xbox i have is a 360, dont know what type it is, since i havent seen it since 2015
Does fifa 2020 use left d-pad button alot? lol
Could it be scalpers who couldn't unload their stock?
Great video
waiting for more ps1 and n64 bundles
Dude with a straight face said 600 is cheap. For refurbished ones even in Canada they are more around 500. Still a lot but no where near what you said especially converting to the USD you use.
There’s a reason why people say refurbished one it’s brand new it’s because they normally feel like it is refurbished but they just got it from the store or maybe they refurbished it and then decided let’s put a new and used. I really don’t know.
I think they call it refurbished cause they can charge more for it, at that's my thought
You'd get more for a New - Open Box, than you would for Refurbished. The latter implies someone has been in it, voiding any warranty, and the fact they've been it means something was wrong with it whereas New Open Box should mean it's working fine and still under warranty.
I never, ever buy refurbed stuff, I don't want something that's broken once already, or that someone has been poking around inside of. Even I (without any real electrical engineering expertise) could quick fix a few things into working again and sell it as a refurb, but they'd not be working for very long, just long enough for someone to THINK they'd bought something that works, and then when it breaks a few weeks or months down the line, I could say "well it worked when you got it, sold as seen and you marked it as delivered and working, it's your problem now."
Except as he pointed out they were charging $100 less then what the average person on Ebay is going by lol.
To me it's more the thought of " refurbished" brings peace of mind thinking someone has tested / cleaned the console in a significant amount lol.
This is more like Ybox coming from wish😂
There's not that many original Xbox games that are compatible on the series consoles.
I love watching this guy at school lol
13 seconds in you got ripped off without even watching😂
They also have ps1 and the ps5 and everything else like the Evolution or over the years of games and yea everything and everything is worth your money and ps2 is about a lot cheaper because the price is $20
i really wish I could afford a Xbox Series X cause theres a few games i'd like to try on it lol
i jus picked up a brand new series s for my new house with three months of xbox game pass
600 is cheap? Aren't the new ones less? Edit here at best buy its 599 bundle new black Friday sale reg 660.00
The halo edition sells for 600, the regular release is 500
I wouldn’t say that’s suspiciously cheap at all
❤ your stuff keep it up 😊😊😊😊
bro out here flipping wish consoles😂
de oxide will fix that dpad
Honestly, it feels strange to me that the consoles came in that decent of a condition, especially from Wish. I'm wondering where exactly they're getting them from. Either way, the whole "refurbished" does feel a little disengenious if both haven't been opened.
The state they came in was great but does that make them count as refurbished? I don't know. It doesn't seem like they really did anything other than repackage, or did I miss something? My thoughts are that refurbished *should* mean they went and opened the console.
That is the argument people tried to use when defending DkOldies is what counts as refurbished. I myself wouldn't count it as refurbished since they didn't ( or at least it appears) open the consoles up to clean them out thoroughly.
Agreed, I just don't understand why people throw the word refurbished around so much. If you're gonna say refurbished, just explain what it means. And not only were these described as refurbished, the listing literally gives no info on what comes with the console
@@jrob0021 also refurbished seems it would fetch a lesser price than "open box" or "like new"
@@jrob0021 Transparency is a hard thing to give us nowadays.
If you got it at a good price,then I could look past the nit picky small issues.
Bro that response from them is definitely AI generated
"suspiciously cheap" $600?!?!?!
How many consoles do you have at this point😅
The Hexas Hoad
have the same one perfect condition
“I appreciate them sending a real message”
Clearly an AI message 😅
So someone resold their Xbox series X on wish
