So Best Buy was already selling "open box" (basically used) PS5s at the same exact time new ones were available on release date?? And then to make things even weirder, they had this open box "fair" PS5 available for purchase, for almost $100 off, 2 days after launch. So you know I had to buy it...

@jolteon345 6 месяцев назад

I have two theories on the immediate open box. Either the box was damaged in some way (box itself or seal), or Best Buy was getting ready to set up display consoles and opened too many.

@BlackFantasy470 6 месяцев назад

The second one might have had a broken seal or something on the box. It's a common thing where I live that if the seal is broken it's not allowed to be sold as "new" even if it has never been used. Or maybe something hit the box and they had to check the insides and that caused the seal to be broken.

@bannankev 6 месяцев назад

Yuuuuppppp. Worked at another major retailer and they do the same thing. If the seal is broken it cannot be sold as new.

@jrob0021 6 месяцев назад

Yeah for sure, that seems to be the case here. Just strange how many open box consoles them seem to have right at launch. Must’ve been a bunch of seats broken in transit? Idk

I bet that's why they returned it. They stole the code for the game then returned the PS5. Someone I know did this. Bought the PS5. Took the game returned. Got money back and a free game. It's actually common

@jrob0021 6 месяцев назад

I just don't know how best buy allows this. I'm not sure if you saw my other video about best buy recently, but I purchased a sealed copy of spiderman 2, returned it sealed, and then best buy sent me back a used copy and said I can't return a used copy (even though I sent them a sealed copy). So it's just baffling to me that people are getting away with returning consoles to best buy in which they've stolen the code. I guess it just depends on the employee doing the return.

@jsphphs_ 6 месяцев назад

I was thinking about it while watching and I’m more than certain it could have just be shipping errors or issues in the receiving departments. At any point it could have got damaged before reaching the store or shelf. So “opened box” could just mean the console was fine but the package was messed up.

@jrob0021 6 месяцев назад

Definitely could be, but this is the first time I've seen best buy immediately selling open box consoles (like at the exact same time the console came out). There also seems to be a ton of the open box ones available, as they've been in stock ever since release date

@bryanobrien2726 6 месяцев назад

I know that Amazon does that especially with electronics . When they get a damaged pallet in , it's easier to simply list them as being open box or good used with possible small cosmetic flaws .

@NerosDemon 6 месяцев назад

@EmilioPerez-by2vk 6 месяцев назад

I think Best Buy itself brought PS5 slim and resold the system themselves.

@Dspic09 6 месяцев назад

I work at Walmart, not Best Buys, but assuming things are somewhat similar the box for the second console was most likely damaged or opened in someway in transit. They would then be completely opened to see if anything inside was damaged and if not it would be sold as open box.

@peoplethinkimnuts 6 месяцев назад

general rule for me buying any refurb is that the discount needs to be really good. I would not take a chance on anything for only saving like 25 bucks. If they get too many returns they might start getting better refurb deals for these things. So I would keep an eye out for open box specials at all the places that offer them cause you know the good deals are going to be out there but you gotta be quick to get them so good luck fam.

@xJDDrifterx 6 месяцев назад

I just got mine today checking into best buy. It was originally $414 without the game. I was able to get them down lower with the usb cable and the stand missing. With all said and done i paid 375 total.

@plan7a 6 месяцев назад

Maybe the slip cover(s) are used for display/POS purposes (or advertising reasons)? It could be that they are taken out of the packaging, photographed (for the website?) and then put back into the packaging to be resold; albeit as open box without the packaging? Just a thought? (The console would have been in store a short while before actual release date, after all, and the publicity materials would need to be prepared? Maybe there was an embargo on this before hand. It could explain a few of these issues?). Just saying.

@malachihill8677 6 месяцев назад

My best guess for the second PS5 is that it was used to actually test the console before release. It did have good box packaging, a week before release, and looked in like new condition.

@2dwrldd281 6 месяцев назад

That sticker is put on almost every product in Best Buy the sorting center/warehouse puts those on to categorize products to palletize them and ship them to stores

@r6r1der 6 месяцев назад

When i worked at bestbuy the manager allowed us to set up new game counsols in the lunch room for the employees, however if the consol became low stock or no stock they would return it back to the store inventory as openbox or refurbed.

@iang4727 6 месяцев назад

I bought a PS5 spiderman bundle last week then 2 days later, the stores released the same bundle in the slim model. I bought the slim version and returned the 1st one but I did leave the unused game code inside the box. Chances are employees take it or whoever bought it keeps it as well. Point is in my case, I returned a brand new 2 day old PS5 because of the slim version being released.

@VonDutchNL 6 месяцев назад

The original is better than the slim.. better looking and better built.

@tommybellardine 6 месяцев назад

I don't work for BestBuy but the sticker is for itemizing, interact/video definitely stands for interactive Video game console or something of that sorts, and PNext Hardware means Playstation next generation hardware its just a sticker that gives the item a description for employees to know where they can find it whether in store or in database

Man I used to work for BB and also have bought a series x like that it usually happens when someone buys it and then returns it (basictly mom gets mad with kids for grades ect.) they return it and they charge the 40$ packaging fee to them and they have to sell it open box (missing game,cords, ect) and since it not excellent they have to put the fair tag!!!

@Kaiten92 6 месяцев назад

Former Geek Squad Technician: The process for open box back when I worked there was just any returned device gets returned by customer service where a pop up shows what accessories should be included. Geek Squad then takes the device to verify it's working (usually before the return) and after the return, they are supposed to reset it and print the open box label. If there are manufacturer defects, it gets sent out of store. So it's understandable that they had PS5 Slim's the very next day. If anyone wants an open box TV, check back the day or weekend after the Superbowl 😂 Lots of people buy a TV for that one day and then return it

That happens because people buy it then realize they cannot afford it and return it. My buddy did that twice with walmart with ps4 VR headsets. He bought one, then realized he had to pay rent and returned it. As for the one that was open box before released, if the packages get damaged before being sold they have to be sold as open box. So somewhere along transportation to best buys warehouse the box got ripped and then had to be checked per policy hence why it's been opened. And then sold as open box.
