So apparently this one is supposed to be matte because it's 4GB. The same 320GB console is supposed to be glossy. Doesn't take away from the fact the GameStop still took sandpaper or something to it lol. It has tons of scratches
That particular model came in a Skylander bundle. I have one, and I slapped a 250gb hdd from another model I had. It's in my entertainment center, but I haven't touched it recently.
@@Chuked still tho sometimes i still get lost on my xbox one and i’ve had that since 2014 although i can’t really say for ps4 since i’ve only had that since 2019
That's literally what you usually get with refurbished products in general though. Some Gamestops also slap a big sticker over the case to make it look new and you can peel it off to reveal the original case.
Hey Jacob! The controller it came with was a later model with those weird thumb sticks and a funky d-pad. If you twist the d-pad it will raise up the plus on the d-pad so it’s easier to press.
Well, a month ago we got a 360 S for the equivalent of 142 USD. Came with one controller, 500 GB hard drive, jtagged with 43 games on the drive and an hdmi cable. Pretty good deal imo
@Orange Plays i know. i'm still playing my 360, never had an XB1 or PS4, 8th gen was trash, besides games like DOOM & DOOM eternal witcher 3 & BOTW, but that's it.... upgrading to the ONE S or XSX/PS5 on christmas, finally.
@Orochi HD i know..... but finally, after christmas, i won't be considered a ghost to my friends because none of my ''friends'' talk to me at all, i'll finally be in the conversation after 6 years of not having the ability to play newer consoles or multiplayer without hackers....
When I got my 360 S refurbished from Gamestop in 2013, it was practically in perfect condition, and it still runs with no problems to this day! (needs to be cleaned out though for sure). What the hell is gamestop doing to these consoles nowadays?
Anybody else think consoles are just getting uglier and uglier? They looked way better in the xbox 360 and ps3 days. Xbox series x? Just a big ugly block. Ps5? Thing looks like a taco. Seems like they've just lost inspiration 🤦♂️
I remember growing up with my xbox 360 E and my parents NEVER EVER bought me xbox live so I was stuck playing bots on Bo1, Bo2,Bo3, Ghost , and advanced warfare (Edited 1 min later) LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT GTA5
If you have the right tools, you can actually fix the issue by simply replacing the console's laser (which is the thing inside the disc tray that reads the discs)
I still have my 360 Slim but I’ve gone through 6 power supplies, I bought one off Amazon a week ago cause I wanted to bring it back to life and the power supply crapped out after 3 days of using it.
i am still on my 1st PSU i dont use it much and havent since around 2017 however it has this issue, all u have to do on mine is plug it in and leave it for 30 minutes, then when turning it on it'll be perfectly fine
Imagine the next Xbox going back to this design but instead of a disc- tray they have a disc loading slot , usb super speed ports, and the SSD panel at the top that can be removed to add more storage , also a USC C port on the front... omg that would be soooo 🔥 ....Don’t get me wrong though, the Xbox series X is a nice looking console still
The new consoles look nice but once I saw the Xbox’s in person they looked a bit big/chunky, not as sleek compared to Xbox One but considering their more powerful its understandable
@@michaelstutts4464 Im doing that now My last Xbox 360 S (also had 250gb) it was damaged because of how much dust was in there and when I tried to fix it I damaged it even more lol
Same here, love the 360 and some great games, did have a Xbox one s console, but traded it for PS4, better exclusives on PS4 IMO and Xbox one seemed so slow compared to PS4, Xbox exclusives seemed not so good as they used to be in 360 and OG days, again my opinion.
Never a good idea to go to gamestop for used consoles. I just bought an Xbox One X (white) in like new condition from a guy for $200. Compared to buying a piece of junk from gamestop for $370.
8 had the same problem like you with the power supply. I read that the power supply or the console was not used in a while so the power supply turns red when you try to power it on.
they actually made a matte and glossy version of the 360 S. the tray, and power button border are usually still glossy on the matte versions. I'm pretty sure GameStop was just selling you an excuse for a matte 360 S!
I love the tech reviews and goodwill and gamestop things you do! i personally think your videos are awesome and entertaining and joyful to watch!! I appreciate you
The poorest 'certified refurb' I have seen on any piece of electronics. Most are usually in like new looking condition. Heads up NOT to do biz with this company on any level. Thanks for the heads up! Cheers!
Buying an Xbox 360 from gamsestop was always a bad choice back then too. They don't even check to see if it seriously works. It's turned on, they put in a disc, and send you on your way to a crappy store credit scam. Lol
It looks to me that someone opened the box and replaced the faulty power supply they had with with one in the box. Maybe the same was done with the controller as well? This was probably done before packing in the shipping box.
Idk if you'll see this, but if you do, you should try and make your videos a little louder. It was kind of hard for me to hear when i was listening to this on the bus.
The controller is not aftermarket, it’an official Xbox 360 controller called “Xbox 360 controller transforming d-pad” the special thing about this controller is obviously the d-pad, if you twist it around, it will change the height of the d-pad, making it more higher or lowered
I am very unlucky that my original Xbox 360 had a hardware failure and Gamestop refused to fix it so there was nothing to really do with it except throw it out. The other Xbox 360 I got had no hard drive plug.
Man! So weird to see this console again, I use to have it back in 2018, I had to sell it because I was leaving country, this video brought so many memories back.
Hey back when they used to sell “refurbished” psp’s they used to put stickers of the same color over the scratches!! I still have a 3000 that I bought back in 2013 and the battery cover had a black sticker to cover the scratches!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still have my Xbox 360 slim hooked up in my living room for when I want to play my non backward compatible games. Love the 360. And yes mine is glossy. My PS5 and Xbox Series X are in my main game room.
The gamepad is just the Chrome controller, I bet the sticks are just very worn out. The D-pad on it is awesome apparently, so you can just repair it by replacing the sticks inside it - it should serve you well. Chrome controllers are nice. Those Chrome controllers warrant some hefty profit on the used market
What do you expect ? You ordered from GameStop. I give it 6 months & the console will get the RRoD or a.k.a. the "Red Ring of Death". That why I have a Play Station console.
Yeah I bought a "premium refurbished" Xbox 360 slim console from them too. It turned on fine but when I put a disc in, it wouldn't read any discs at all. Fortunately for me tho, I had my recently dead xbox 360 slim laying around so I had to salvage my old disc drive from that, take out the drive from the newly purchased xbox, used my soldering iron to switch the circut boards on both drives, then reassemble the new xbox and now it works perfectly. Kinda sad that the customer has to refurbish their own products.
