the GameStop Xbox SCAM 

Worked at game crazy back in the day.. pro tip.. next time you only need to offer the store credit amount in store credit ;) I found even people who wanted store credit would make the deal at the idea of buying whatever they wanted and taking home cash instead of credit on a gift card.

Wholesome!

Okay but it's still idiotic to charge that amount for them unless they really don't want to sell them

@@JeskidoYT I don't think people are hoarding because of covid. They just want to squeeze every last dollar out of you because they know some people are stupid enough to pay these prices.

What would happen if a customer did get a defective item?

Or doesn't do their job at all.

I would hope that they have skilled and qualified people refurbishing the consoles. That would be the hope and expectation, really.

@@user-nk9op7ms4z Shut up bot. Everyone knows you're not the real Austin.

You’d be surprised how many only need a good cleaning and are fine and was only “broken” due to lack of cleaning and I’ve only been refurbing/repairing/modding since the original ps 1 lol

Funny, I bought a refurbished Xbox one s and it was only missing 200mb from the advertised TB. 130$.

should've waited to sell it...

Agreed! If you're going to keep the box, might as well keep all the plastic wrapping as well. Goes such a long way for resale.

You bet you ass theres lots of us that like this. Im literally considering paying 20 dollars for just the cardboard insert a nintendo ds lite i bought didnt come with. Im currently so pissed off with myself because i didnt bid on a Box only for around $4 which had the insert and missed it. I still have my Xbox 360 box, Xbox S box, Switch, 3ds, ds lite, PC box. Im trying to get a box for my GBC too. Im also using hard plastic covers for my game cart boxes from nintendo series. ] Also im almost done with my Pkmn Game collection, Only need Generation 5, Which is Blk, Blk2, Wht, Wht 2, I need Pkmn Platinum, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. In total these games, Used is gonna end up costing me around $800 usd as how i want them........ LOL My most expensive cart is Pkmn Emerald i got Mint for $144 and HeartGold/SoulSilver $150 ea. I got everything else aready, Although no boxes of the GBAs GBC. I got lucky and i have Pkmn Silver, FireRed and LeafGreen manuals for around $30 total. Ive also gotten fucked, Never bid on "Non tested'' I bought Pkmn Diamond without checking detail by detail on the dark photos, It had a good case, Complete, and Good price. Yet when i got it, It looked like it was chewed by a cat or small dog or kid. The point is it doesnt even work, FML all my fault though.. D: I have my boxes in a 45 Gallon tote and my games displayed just stacked. I wish in the future ill have shelfs like some RU-vidrs have. Im really excited lol..

You suppose to compare the price to stores. So if Xbox one x selling for 390 at GameStop used you should sell yours for like 340-350. The issue is you get on there and compare it to what others are selling it for and the dummies are selling it for 250. Makes no sense to me. I was looking to sell my ps4 pro and these dummies are selling it for 300 🤦🏾‍♂️ i can trade it in to GameStop and get 330 store credit. It’s not worth me selling it myself

Same. Xbox series s . Perfect . Controller near perfect

@WhatsApp ❶❸❶❷❼❺❾❻❽❺❻ Lmao "winter".

I think some people actually keep thier consoles in thier desk and they might also keep some stuff on top of it which might cause some detriment in the console

Can I be a summer instead? Never was a big fan of the cold.

Not when you have split parents and you have to bring it back to house to house😂

I can back that up. When I was a manager at Gamestop all we did was plug them know and make sure they could connect and weren't banned and make sure the basics worked. Wiped them down and set them in the back for 2 weeks for a trade hold. They are packed in a box we have and that's it. When we ship they get packed with paper fill and they arrive to you the same as we got them from the customer who traded it minus a memory wipe and wipe down with a rag. Refurbished pretty much the same. Other than a few minor things fixed if needed. They'd wrather recycle it if it's too much work.

As someone at a current gamestop location, there can also be shortages of the custom preowned boxes right now which has-- at least at my store-- caused us to start using shipping boxes to house preowned hardware. The fit is terrible, and if we had to send out anything, it would probably get pretty dinged up.

True

100% Facts Ryu, glad someone else said and noticed the clear difference.

I'm so glad to hear some truth from people working at GameStop. Too often I hear excuses and that's it. I haven't really paid them much attention since the one in my area closed down late 2020. The next closest one is literally 20 to 30 miles away so I've pretty much either been buying online for super cheap from them or not at all.

Idk, my friend bought a used Xbox from them and it was basically brand new

Some people just have ZERO pride in their work. Kudos to you for caring about the products you sell 👏

There’s a GameStop in the town I used to live in which sold me a dirty 360 and I simply took their word that it worked. Transferred a bunch of data to it. The hard drive it had built in failed on me within days. They exchanged it for one that actually worked but I lost all the data. I rather buy new consoles tbh.

@@_boof Right now it would be cheaper to just buy a PC and enjoy a bigger game library.

@@minisithunknown5568 Its not cheaper not even close unless you want a 1650 and thats løike 800 900 dollars for a system

they don’t package*

Hmmm I got my PS5 sent to me in a bundle with multiple games and everything came perfectly packaged. It was as I would expect for a new system and games so I couldn't imagine shipping all that stuff loose

@@tanveerkhalili5268 I have Xbox Series S 🤗 I'm holding onto my Xbox one S

I'm blessed and lucky to get a X for retail at gamestop stop 6 months ago

@@414heavymotion waiting for mine to come in off stock x , how you liking it bro ?

Depending on the games thats not that bad tbh

It's because gamestop is required to bundle the consoles at the moment same is happening with ps5s this is to deter scalpers it'd actually microsoft and Sony telling them to do that not gamestop themselves Best buy does it Walmart does it now wether these places follow those rules doesn't really matter but if you go to a retailer and you are told to bundle it's not because of them it's because of the manufacturer. And the reason you managed to snag one at the microsoft store without bundling is well you got it directly from microsoft. As far as I know the bundling is only meant for retailers outside of microsoft store though I'm surprised you managed to find a microsoft store thought they were all closing

Yeah just go somewhere else.Nice that you found one.Gamestop I never go there

I got the series x for 500 not long ago also

@@joshhedge5051 Three games is bout $180 then there's gamepass. Headshot played himself.

i just did my pro. i got a 1TB Samsung 870 EVO on sale for $99 i should've bought a few of them.

I'm using a Samsung T5 external SSD on the One X. USB 3 transfer speeds are slightly faster than the One X's SATA HDD. So for the One X, One, PS4 and PS4 Pro the lazy route is the better option. No warranty issues, no potential issues with partitions when cloning etc. It's never gonna be as quick as the latest gen load times, but it's makes a big difference.

I still use a 360 and use a 3 tb USB gamedrive to put my games on it

I was simply lucky enough there was at least a series S in stock but I bought a one x when it was new, lost my warranty and it had a weird and rare supposedly firmware issue the shit basically didn't work it close games and apps and shut itself off. Sold it to gamestop had a one s afterwards using trade in money eventually grabbed a one x again cuz I could during lack of stock for Series versions and the one x I bought used had the same damn issue so I settled for pre ordering the series s last summer trading into gamestop yet again a faulty Xbox one x for the high value trade and the money I needed. I may do this with PS4 tho had regretfully sell it in place of losing my OG switch before Sword and Shield came out I copped a switch lite using the money I sold it with smh. I only want Miles Morales Spiderman

Most games don't make full use of the SSD speed though and the SS/SX are still much faster.

Digital foundry already done it. One X with ssd compares to Series S, not Series X, cause SeX better anyway.

Digital Foundry just did a vid on One X with an SSD over the Series S. Obviously the One X had the advantage in resolution most of the time but the jaguar cores can’t really match the CPU in the Series S. As well as things like Quick Resume, FPS Boost, and other features. I have an X and a PS5, but I would def go S over a One X, ssd or not, anyday. If you value resolution over performance though than it becomes a personal decision really.

The one doesn’t even have ssd configuration. So basically your not getting any bost especially if your not running the os off of the ssd

@@IMWH1T3xK1LL3R you can install a ssd into a last gen console. Digital Foundry recently did a vid where they installed one in a One X and put it hp against a Series S. Still not worth it though as you’re out the cost of a One and the ssd, not to mention the time to install it, which is more than a Series S would cost for less performance as while the gpu will net you 4K more of the time, the CPU is the real bottleneck in last gen consoles.

@@mandrews6282 I never said you can’t do it. I said it’s pretty much pointless. You don’t get velocity architecture which is what the ssd in SX/S is built around.

It also is the manager of the store to find a way to package them better. They could have added paper inside the console box so it would not be moving around.

@@minisithunknown5568 true but when the company doesn't give you anything and you got nothing you got to do what you got to do. Corporate has been screwing over the GameStop here.

Eb games is gamestop

Just get series s its a great machine

Hey man Big fan

@Angry Combat Wombat it's not hard to understand

@Angry Combat Wombat lol your the child if you can't make out the difference console been announced from more than a year ago , been released more than a year ago

I sold a day one as well for $220 like 2 weeks ago.

Does each individual GameStop control the trade-in value for all consoles or is it company wide because of how the website/app provides trade-in quotes? They must have just recently lowered trade-in values because last Thursday I barely got $140 in trade for a very clean white ‘Master Chief Edition’ original XB1 500gb but with a newer USB-C controller.

@@Schweigardt maybe xbox is different than PS4. I'm not entirely sure.

@@Schweigardt it’s a single company wide price, the stores don’t control the trade in value at all. Your entire trade is based off the console, and you won’t get any extra based off of it being a special edition of the console, since the retail value was the same at the time. As silly as it is, I could walk into a gamestop and trade in a 500gb base Xbox one with the original controller, and get the exact same amount you got for the Halo edition and Series controller. It’s already a pain to take in trades, and changing individual values of components based off of a special edition console, or newer controller, would make it super complex. -A Gamestop Manager

I sold my 2 ps4 ‘s for 100 each and got a series s with game pass Best decision I could of made I loved my ps4 and I had them for like 6 and 3 years (bc my parents are divorced) but the loading time of it was so slow and how fast a series s is makes a world of difference

Imagine having a checkmark

That’s because Nintendo tries to make a profit on their consoles while Xbox just breaks even

And it has same things as last switch ( no other upgrades then 1mm wider and oled screen )

Well when you get the switch you are pay for a PORTABLE console with A LOT of exclusives, I mean A LOT

Shut up

@@mysterything8348 calling a scam "profit" is one way of looking at it. Most scams *do* result in profit. The problem is Nintendo engineers their joycons to fail after warranty, (those controllers are tested for time (hundreds of hours before failure / drift / use, they KNOW the analogue sticks fail, and want them to fail after warranty. So you get used to buyin ga new one, a new colour, a new gimmick when isntead you should have your ogirinal controllers last the entire systems lifecycle. Same with the PS4's much cheaper controller compared to the PS3, and even the PS5 has had issues already. The new OLED screen they used is cheaper in manufacturing (allegedly) than their old screens, which they stopped buying in bulk. So you're paying more for cheaper hardware. I guess the improved stand is one way to look at over paying for incredibly dated, under-powered, barely functional hardware. But consumers seem ok with buying multiples of the same console and controllers in the same hardware cycle. My original PS3 and PS2 analogue sticks still work way better than Nintendo's broken Joycons. PREMIUM quality.... scam.

Use a ssd and its basicly like a series S

@@TheErlend87 meh don't really see a need. I just have the xbox for a few console games that aren't on pc. SSX 3, SSX 2012, Burnout Revenge, Skate 3, Onrush, Dead or Alive 1-4. Other than that I play on pc and have a 2tb nvme drive for games.
