I bought ANOTHER refurbished console from GameStop... I was finally able to come across a refurbished PS5 from gamestop, so I picked it up. They definitely did some refurbishment to this console... but it's not good. Let me know what you think about this Refurbished PS5 console from GameStop!
Forgot to mention it in the video, but I'd rate this refurbishment a 3/10.

@phatman_on_ice8911 Год назад

I think someone needs to tell GameStop that a magic eraser doesn't remove dust. You need a brush and compressed air

@AlexRodriguez-fy4lb Год назад

Do not use compressed air and do not use a brush, only if it’s to loosen up dust that a vacuum is having trouble suctioning up. If you only use a brush and compressed air you’ll push all the dust down and into the power supply vents. If the dust gets into the power supply, there’s no getting it out.

They don't do any of things you mentioned.

When I kept asking why did the consoles felt just used and reboxed, the manager told me that all they do is quick visual inspection and just make sure that it turns on. They tell people that they do but they don't and it clearly shows on this video.

Come on now goodwill at least looks at the items they resell don't disrespect them lol. Refurbished doesn't have the same value as you think it dose. It's a quick look over buy it back for less than 50% value resell it for 90% value it's about profits not quality.

@BlendingWithHenry Год назад

Unless the product comes directly from the manufacturer then it's not truly a Certified Reconditioned product. Every company I have bought refurbished products directly from has sent out machines that looked 100% brand new and were indistinguishable from brand new. That's why you never trust Amazon, Ebay, Gamestop or any other reseller when they sell refurbs because that are not truly refurbs. This is insanely horrible what Jacob received.

I saw Henry making a genuine point then Cheezit questioned him about what are the company's names??? I don't see the point of a such a question either. It's irrelevant because I know for a fact that companies like Apple for example that sell refurbs sell them in perfect condition. I've seen "refurb" Apple products sold on Ebay in terrible condition. But to be honest your response to Henry was coming across as rude and kind of abrupt. Not the best way to get an answer out of someone by sticking up for another member here and jumping in someone's face. Just sayin'.

I had a house fire back in '19 and lost everything. I started out by buying a refurbished one from Game Stop. When I got home with the console, even though it said refurbished, I noticed that the consoles weren't cleaned out, the cables were all twisted up, and the controller felt very worn. When I went back and asked for another one, I checked it and the same thing. After pressing the matter and getting upset at the store, the store manager finally told me that they just go to a general warehouse where l they do plug them in to test them and maybe do a visual inspection of the hardware. There's no taking them apart or reconditioning them, no cleaning out the dirt marks from the controllers...they literally just make sure they turn on, and push them right back out on one of their boxes. I won't ever be buying anything refurbished, it's pretty disappointing already when you have to settle for something used, now imagined not reconditioned?!?!?

Than you would be a fool then to pay that much for this. You can get a brand new one for just $10 more. How badly they scratched up up and how dirty it was, this console isn't worth no $490 whether it work or not. You need to learn the value of money. It simply doing the bare minium of "working" doesn't justify that resall price. Not refurbished console in this condition should only be $10 less than retain. Should be way more cheaper than that.

The gloss looks bad??! Do you freak out over your alternator having scratches? Your oil pan? Tires? Rear view mirror? Anything else that is completely irrelevant to how the ps5 works? Our future is fuukkkdd🤣

I love these videos and I hate GameStop as much as the next person but fair is fair... this was a "certified pre-owned" system not a "refurbished" one. They are two completely different things. The former means it's a used console turned in that didn't need any work done to it to function while the latter means it was repaired to a certain extent.

@TheFantasticJ Год назад

every single pre owned console sent to gamestop gets sent to a refurbishment center before resell. This is a refurbished one.

@BazzyWasHere 10 месяцев назад

as a gs employee, true. there are consoles we just visually check and clean and sell. but, there are times we mark the console defective and send it to our warehouse, who ACTUALLY REPAIR AND CLEAN IT.

when i buy a refurbished PS5 i don't care for scratches. All i wanna see that its working

@KnuckleFreak Год назад

Gamestop is now at a point were it is officially a complete joke. They use no packaging anymore as you all can see. Same happened to me, but WORSE. I went to my local GS and traded a near mint console and got a disgusting, grimmy, console with cracks all over the vents. It had dust all inside of it, It also had the serial number completely rubbed off. It had liquid Goo on it also. I took it directly back into the store to here gamestop's oddball employee excuses. It was pretty embarrassing to have to do to be honest but I dont give a F. Once they saw how Fu*kd this this really was. The gamestop manager acted as if he was going to yell at someone but was acting weird. He falsely acted befuddled and changed it out for a mint condition one as the one I traded was. It was a joke of a experience and I could only imagine how they would have called me a liar if I went all the way home to open it up. There wasn't even a Serial number on the console. Beware and buy at your own risk folks.

My GameStop stores got a lot of PS5 consoles used does that mean go buy them ? are you trying to see if they bought broken consoles from customers I just don’t see any reason to why I would want a used PS5 their all in stock everywhere

I personally kinda like the matte finish the glossy part has to it now, but I also think they should never have tampered with it at the same time. Since I can't see it IRL too, I'm guessing it looks disgusting in person, but it does look quite nice from the perspective I can see.

There's matte black skins that look amazing, I was able to get the dbrand plates

@jrob0021 Год назад

If done very carefully, a matte black look on the black strip does look cool. But with GameStop scratching it in all different directions, it’s meh

@DD93AFC Год назад

@@jrob0021 I imagine if I could see it in real life, I'd probably say the same thing, but the perspective from the camera, makes it look like it's been given a brushed finish, like how you get brushed steel.

now to be fair it could be a bad previous owner and they cleaned it up the best they could haha

@adriancastaneda786 Год назад

Not gonna lie, if the onlynissue is all that dust, then I’ma just take it outside and air that stuff out with an airblower of some sorts. But Gamestop really needs to do better than that. That was embarrassing.

@thomasjohnson8517 Год назад

This wouldn’t be a bad idea except if you pay that kind of money, you’d expect to at least not have to open the thing! That’s crazy and buying refurbished is never recommended

“FBI Surveillance Van” - I used this some years back as a joke and an FBI agent stopped at my house and asked me to change it. I didn’t think much of it then but in retrospect I think they were staking out someone’s house and I wasn’t helping. Oops. Might want to rethink your router name 😅

Gamestop must update their prices again. I was at one just before Christmas and a used one was going for $400. And that came with either one newer game or 2 launch games.

The PS5 was scratched by the MagicEraser. Classic GameStop
