Considering that at least until now, almost all of the exclusives titles for ps5 announced will be retrocompatible with the ps4 and ps4 pro, it's the right moment to buy one of theses. Here in brazil, when a ps5 is listed as "you can buy it now", it cost 7,5 times the minimum wage....well, that's not a bad acquisition
If gamestop sandpapered it but the clear coat its not too thin, you can use WD or liquid car wax or even normal car wax to bring the bright back to the top of the console or at least hide the toughest marks on it.
eBay is hit or miss but mostly depends on who you buy from. GameStop is always a disappointment so IMO discontinue game stop purchases and give eBay or others a go for future vids
You should do a video sanding it back to a glossy finish. Segaholic has a video on sanding a sega genesis to looking brand new. Also seen videos of people sanding the glossy ps4 hdd cover back to looking brand new.
Wish that here in brazil we have same stores like gamestop to sell used consoles. Even wit all this defects showed in a ton of videos, this is WAY better than what we do find on fb marketplace and general used selling sites that we have here.
You probably found out by now, but those are the logos of the Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance & Inferno Squad (from the Game Star Wars Battlefronts II, which this console is a limited Edition of).
It blows my mind that Jacob has the same schpeel every video. I bought this console a few months ago, I hope the system works. I'm sure he goes right around and returns these consoles right back to gamestop. No one person needs all these xbox ones and ps4s. Lets see a video of the entire collection.
If the ps4 was setup on a screen with a different resolution type sometimes it won't boot, you can hold the power button down to reset it, worth a shot
I bought a refurbished WiiU from GameStop and it worked great. The console had some scratches here and there but otherwise it was fine. I’m looking for a refurbished ps4 slim so I can play some PlayStation exclusive games I’ve missed out on over the years. I’m thinking about getting one from GameStop as as long as it works, I’ll buy it.
I have the exact same console , couldn't get a regular PRO. but I hate this design to the point where I just wanna remove the star wars logo and artwork on the top cover. It would look 10 times better
i´m so glad gamestop doesn´t "refurbish" the consoles with an magic eraser here in Germany. But why would someone trade in a special edition console like this in the 1st place?
So...aside from the scratches and scuffs, whats the main problems? The title of the vid made it feel like it was more serious. Lol just goes to show though "you get what you paid for" is not always true considering you spent 300.
When he said problems i thought the console was in bad condition but to be honest it was (for me) in a great condition overall, well compared to other refurbished system that i have seen from gamestop so i don't get the complains.
@Andrew Games and Vlogs yeah I know but because most of the consoles you bye from GameStop, especially the refurbished ones that you bye almost full price, have their own hardware problems.The most simple of which is the eject button not working on a refurbished Wii(for this one see MVG refurbished Wii)
They don't do it for visual aesthetics, they do it to make the consoles look used all to hell so they can sell more new products. If you got this instead of a decent looking used PS4, you might give it back and just buy a new one for not much more. I actually just bought a new PS4 Slim from PlayStation Direct for $299.99. The same price GameStop is selling these used consoles for. Don't buy used products from GameStop because they are ripping you off.
Not unecpected from Gamestop. Its just sad. Paying premium for this console. It comes in very bad condition and not with the original matching limited editon controller.
The listing I saw on ebay is called Original Xbox, MakeMhz HDMI, 128 RAM, OpenXenium, 2TB HDD, recapped motherboard. I'd buy something like that if it wasnt so expensive though.
I tried to sell GameStop a 2tb gears of war xbox one a and they wouldn’t take it cuz the controller that came with it wasn’t included. I tried to sell it with a white Xbox one s controller but they said they couldn’t sell it. Find it funny that they sold you this console with an old controller that doesn’t fit the console at all and rubbed sand paper all over the console
Outside of making a scratched case uniform by sanding it i cant see why they do this. i did think about could it be to do with hygiene, but a good antiseptic wipe should be good enuff to clean off any nastys.. So my sanding for hygiene reason doesn't really fit as if they cared they would get into the gaps where nastys will congregate ....
i dont think gamestop would send a console in this box. theyre not an underground buisness. They have boxes telling you the contents inside. This is most definitley fakeee
It’s to get rid of any prior scratches on the console (from the previous owner). Is it a good method? Hell no. However, that’s the way they do business.
So I think you should try buying a modded xbox with an hdmi output and Openxenium installed. It's expensive though but would be really good for a video
GameStop back at it again...
Yep
Yeah.
I love it!
@ඞ Among drip?
Just one try polish the top like they do with cars worth a try and see if you make it look better haha 🤷🏻♂️😂🤣
It just blows my mind that they sand down these beautiful consoles. WTH man?
its to make it look used but Game stop are evil basterds
@@rajbikash8585 ye
I didn’t my regular Refurbish PS4 with the sand paper finish I don’t like the gloss I think it looks better but I’m not sure about the pro tho
If i can't have you no one can
I think GameStop got complaints that their console was damaged so maybe they wanted it to have extra protection just in case

Since it's sanded down you could use polish to make it glossy again
I did not know this what kind of polish to use tho ?
Don't use nail polish it will ruin the plastic you bum
They basically wash the consoles using Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
I can't believe they would scratch up a special edition console like that.
Typical gamestop

Hit that lightly with some 2000 grit sanding block, then buff it with some plastic polish. Would look 100 times better. Just be light over the logos.
Looking at that system hurts my heart
@@Alexander_l322 Exactly.
@@Alexander_l322 imagine scratching best aspect of console and selling it for 299$ and calling it "premium & refurbished" lol
@@Alexander_l322 ikr
This is like with bandit power, they're selling stuff that is supposed to be good but when you open it then you know you will regret buying it
I love how he just bullies GameStop for money.
I gonna vote you out!
Someone is jealous
“I’ve seen a decent amount of Star Wars but I don’t know the symbols and stuff” why lie ?
You probably found out by now, but those are the logos of the Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance & Inferno Squad (from the Game Star Wars Battlefronts II, which this console is a limited Edition of).
Lmao
Huh?
I've seen star wars movies 1-6 but have no idea what the symbols mean. Haven't watched most of the movies in ages.
@@jrob0021 Not trying to be a hater here dude but the movie literally revolves around these symbols.

I just resell most of them later on. I don't return them

I kinda like the distressed, weathered look on the logos.
It's not too bad until you see how they correlate with the scratches, then it's just annoying lol

He wears a watch I can tell the colour difference on his wrist 😅
Lol it's summer time now
Hahaha He says he knows star wars but he doesn't know the rebel and the empire logos
They used a wet Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, which is like a very fine grit sandpaper. Why on Earth would you think they used actual sandpaper??
Because people that work for gamestop have literally told me that they use sandpaper.
I wouldn't even pay 100 Dollar for it in this condition
i´m so glad gamestop doesn´t "refurbish" the consoles with an magic eraser here in Germany. But why would someone trade in a special edition console like this in the 1st place?
Money.
@@Josephchavira02 if it's money what they wanted they could've sell it on ebay and gain x3 as much as GameStop offers.
I loves these videos Jacob keep it up 👍
Should of popped the top off of it to see how the fan looked and what not
And this is why you don’t wait 5 months to open a “refurbished” console
What is refurbished console...?
@@abhiiram007 A previously owned console that’s been tested and works, and that’s been cleaned on the inside with new thermal paste or liquid metal
@@Owen01 which is best bro a refurbished console or Preowened console
@@abhiiram007 Refurbished if the person refurbishing the item does a proper job with testing, cleaning and putting new thermal paste down
Why? Why? Why the hell do they sand the console?
It breaks my heart seeing such a cool system sanded down.
🙃they made it matte
@@timelymirror7826 Yes but why? Lol
GameStop should get bought over by you.
Always buy the warranty brand new one if messed up
Not possible brand new PS4's are rare and expensive
So...aside from the scratches and scuffs, whats the main problems? The title of the vid made it feel like it was more serious. Lol just goes to show though "you get what you paid for" is not always true considering you spent 300.
I found a giant roach waving at me in my used PS4. It was in the fan ports & Gamestop still tried to sell it to me lol.
Has a Star Wars fan seeing that PS4 hurts me
When he said problems i thought the console was in bad condition but to be honest it was (for me) in a great condition overall, well compared to other refurbished system that i have seen from gamestop so i don't get the complains.

Honestly I think it looks cooler/better with the top like that
They should use red Scotchbrite pads to scuff the tops. It would make for a better looking surface.
They don't do it for visual aesthetics, they do it to make the consoles look used all to hell so they can sell more new products. If you got this instead of a decent looking used PS4, you might give it back and just buy a new one for not much more. I actually just bought a new PS4 Slim from PlayStation Direct for $299.99. The same price GameStop is selling these used consoles for. Don't buy used products from GameStop because they are ripping you off.
Why do you buy this stuff then wait 5 months to open it so you can't return it?? Its kinda dumb in my opinion
I buy a lot at once and time have time to unbox/make a video on everything immediately. It's flawed but it's how I've been doing it
Preference buddy .. plus I like to keep mysen in suspenders lol
my guess is they updated the console when they made it ready to be resold
I was wondering if anybody bought used ps4 from game stop ever. Then found out someone installed a SSD in it.
i would've opened it up to see if anything was done on the inside as well.
I have that edition of the ps4 Pro. Why in the world would they scratch the whole glossy finish on top...
Take the top of to a paint shop and let them respray it it will look good
🤔 limited edition consoles should be protected
I got a ps4 from gamestop earlier this month and the top was scratched up and the wifi connection on it sucks
It’s a refurbished... I think it came in with a good quality already...
Also imo the god of war and death stranding ps4 pro limited editions are the best 👌
Sand it the rest of the way to get it all the way matte.
Lol
Gamestop wipe it with a loose napkin and call it refurbished
Wipe it with a napkin then call it refurbished. Had to be gamestop such *genius's*
@@Breeezylol- They know what they are doing lol
Yeah I know, tricking people with ease is what they're doing Whoever thought of that was a GENIUS
@@Breeezylol- LMAO
Because people are falling for it!
Now then Bro what monitor are you using for your PS5 I know it’s a BenQ 4 k but what model and size great channel by the way JJ London
Not unecpected from Gamestop. Its just sad. Paying premium for this console. It comes in very bad condition and not with the original matching limited editon controller.
You should do a console collection video
Why the hell would you scuff the console? This is why I never buy ANYTHING refurbished from GameStop. This video needs a trigger warning 😂
May the Fourth be with you wait I'm too late for that
2 months ago i bought a used ps4 pro,(from gamestop )it is brand as new,for real
All you need to do is modify it so you can play copied games. I put a SSD drive in my PS4 & it's fast!
The listing I saw on ebay is called Original Xbox, MakeMhz HDMI, 128 RAM, OpenXenium, 2TB HDD, recapped motherboard. I'd buy something like that if it wasnt so expensive though.
GameStop is hit or miss lol 😂

Does anyone know why GameStop sands/scrubs the consoles like that?
Did u find out why?
It’s to get rid of any prior scratches on the console (from the previous owner). Is it a good method? Hell no. However, that’s the way they do business.
I don’t understand what’s the point of sand papering the console lol
I GOT THE LEGEND OF ZELDA TWILGHT FROM GAMESTOP AND IT DIDENT WORK (rip)
Oh
I bought mafia 2 for the ps3 and it was also broken
"Premium" ahahahahaahahha Gamestop are funny
Monsters how dare they ungloss the console
My GameStop didn't do that
Open it up asap so you can send it back and get a different one
GameStop is just terrible for these used consoles so unreliable
I don’t know why The PlayStation 4 pro Has 3 layers
You have to return these dude. Stop giving Gamestop money for garbage merchandise. They need to do better or they can go under.
If i bought a ps4 from them it would be straight back what cowboys
And a massive price holly f.......
What is in the box?
“Knows star wars” doesnt know the symbols. Bruh ahahahha
That sucks!
So I think you should try buying a modded xbox with an hdmi output and Openxenium installed. It's expensive though but would be really good for a video
Is it loud?
why do ppl buy this high price!? buy at launch! 🙈
i only buy in store becasue of the im a power up pro member and get points
What are you expecting from pre-owned stuff?
Looking at that hurts 😐
Just of curiosity: why are you wasting your money on such stuff? What's the whole point?
Buys limited edition Star Wars console, doesn't know what the logos mean..... lol
I just bought it cuz it was limited edition and kinda cool looking. But yeah no idea what the symbols mean
aww man i was late
bruhhhhh it didnt come with the controller it's supposed to? trashhhhh lol
Yeah most of the time GameStop doesnt give the correct controller for limited edition consoles
Smh...I would of sold you mines for 350..9 months old
Are you going to do a face reveal video at 200K subs?
It's refurbished
Bro why tf do they do that bro wtf!
Xbox series s on best buy
Thats the same one I have
They do that so you can’t resell the system , gamestop is a horrible company and should be canceled
What a rip off! 🤨
do more ps3 plz
