I Bought a "REFURBISHED" Xbox Series X from Wish...

- I bought a refurbished Xbox Series X console (and a refurbished Series X controller) from Wish.com... and as we all know, Wish can be a pretty sketchy place to buy stuff. Pretty much every other time I've purchase something from Wish, it's been a weird product, knock-off product, or someone tried to rip me off. So buying an Xbox Series X console from Wish is definitely risky. Check out the video a let me know what you think about the refurbished Xbox Series X console and controller I bought!

Thoughts?
For WISH it's kinda good. But that was a risk.
Surprising.
Pretty amazing for a sketchy website
Got me rethinking my whole life
While a gamble since it’s from Wish, it’s a really good deal even though it’s a little overpriced!
It's honestly weird to see genuine sellers on Wish. I feel like most sellers would avoid selling on there for the reputation alone. It's kinda sad because since everyone is kinda seen as a 'scammer' or not genuine on wish, it makes it the most difficult platform to grow a brand on.
Agreed. I guess it’s somehow worked out for these guys
@@jrob0021 wish might have some bad reputation but it is a platform that constantly surprise me
@@abelreiscarvalho7143 wish isn't what it used to be. We stopped buying from wish in 2018.
@@nur-azhar unless you have prime and buy alot of stuff also wish has small selection of items amazon has lots and wish is slow delivery and full of scams :/
@@nur-azhar like 4 months ago
Probably the best product ever sold on Wish...
Nah a PS5 is the best and or better

@@santitxs4076 xbax currently has no games that are not on pc and atleast in my area, it is easy to get your hands on a mid-tier gpu whereas xbax, not in stock.
on wish its all about knowing what your buying, if your buying a product that just has low quality text describing what it is. i have bought my xbox one x off wish and it was basically brand new, have bought used and refurbished iPhone 11, 7, 8, and the 6s a few years back. you can get real working items just as easy as you can fake items. people just arent too smart
And after seeing this video… I still don’t trust Wish
I bought some mens underwear off of wish and they had some brown 💩stains on them. I sniffed them to see what it could have been…..yep it was 💩for sure.
Facts lol
A surprisingly good buy honestly, sure the Xbox is pricey but I’m surprised they even sent one! Haha the Electric Volt is likely an Amazon return due to it missing the original packaging, many resellers will just get rid of the box of the packaging took a lot of damage but the controller itself was fine.
Good buy? Horrible buy. Check out Microsoft. They sell certified refurbished Series X consoles in a bundle. Pick the console, pick a game, then a controller. You pay well under $600 total. You can add a 2 year warranty even for another $40-50. Still way cheaper than what this guy paid.
@@doubledroptinehunter good because it's from wish
I'm actually amazed, usually everything sold on wish is either a scam or ripoff. You got a good deal on that Xbox.
how is it a good deal if u can get a brand new one off ebay for the same price or a new one off stockx for $548? its a terrible deal to be honest
@@deadassbeats1925 better than retail or resell price
@@deadassbeats1925 even Walmart recently had them in stock for days for $500.
@@deadassbeats1925 I just managed to place an order yesterday for one through Walmart for $499.99 +t I ended up choosing monthly payments (with Walmart's Citizen's Pay) through Microsoft's All Access which would give me 24 months of game pass ultimate for a grand total of $906.94. Buying just the console (& controller beats wish's price and it's guaranteed new).
Just bought mine at Walmart for 500
It was common when allowing returns of consoles to swap the console out and the customer would keep their other original items (HDMI, Power Plug etc.) and also sometimes swap out the controller for a return as well.
Love your videos. Keep up the good work! ❤️
Surprised it is a good working actual series X, I was half expecting broken mess or something completely different
Honestly, that box was in better condition then mine lmao. Mine had a couple of slices and a crushed corner. Thanks, Target.
mine came with a failing gpu. Had to send it back to Microsoft for a refurbished version that reeked of curry for about 3 days.
Great video! Finally got a Xbox series x last week at Best Buy I walked in and they had 3 in stock💪
I just got mines 3 days ago just now had time to hook it up
How much did you pay for it though? Cause of inflation and everything
@@kylebeach2316 I joined Walmart + for 12.95 month and they had it for 499.99 and I got it two weeks early
Honestly, I am surprised you didn't get a box of rocks or a knock off system. Wish always seem shady as hell to me.
For removing packing tape or stickers, a hair dryer works really well without damaging the box. I’ve done it many times with good results.
Yeah because all men have hair dryers, obviously..
@@DanceySteveYNWA....and your point? Or just choosing to be a smartass?🙄
@@DanceySteveYNWA So then buy a Milwaukee heat gun from home depot to protect your masculinity or is the red too close to pink?
@@0mvp6 LOL
Yeah because bald people 100% got a hair dryer
Funnily enough, I use the Xbox series x with the electric volt controller
On the plus side, it's cool that it's in that condition and you got what was advertised. On the other side, it still makes me sick when I see a place showing an "original price" that's an 80% markup over MSRP!! Yeah, I know - supply and demand and it is what it is and all that, but still, seeing those scalper prices makes me want to punch someone in the face.
You lucked out on this one tho happy for you. On far too many people had bad luck on wish.
I had bad luck on Ebay for buying a PS5.
I needed this type of video 😁
Great video! How do you update the controller if you’re playing on PC? Are the updates through WiFi or Bluetooth?
My guess is that during the refurbishment process they get controllers and systems in various conditions, and they test them and clean them and do any repairs as needed. They would have to unwrap the controller to test it, but they probably have cables ready to plug into, so they wouldn't need to unwrap the cables. They might even have something they can use to test the cables without unwrapping them. You got lucky and got one that had only been returned because of cosmetic damage to the box, or similar. I wouldn't be surprised if that green controller is a really convincing forgery, though.
Nah I really do think that pad is genuine.
@@Gravastar7 yeah fake pads don't update on xbox though oddly enough they will work on the console. just when you go to try and test it. it will tell you that the control is not detected which is odd but yeah i have ran in to some fakes out there.
Got a joke for ya all: why are football stadiums so cool? Because every seat has a fan in it 😂 I really hope I made your day a little better.
Before seeing this joke I was a fan
Now I'm a whole air conditioner
@@zZFlaviusBoss 🤣🤣🤣 Ur funny guy broo 😅
Thanks. You ruined my day
You did
This actually made me laugh!! Thank you!!
Pretty cool to not get screwed on wish. But the Walmart app has had them for $499 for weeks my guy
It seems like whoever returned the Xbox took well good care of it, or maybe they bought it and returned it.
I don't trust wish still after this video, but it the video itself was amazing.
first video of not getting scammed on wish
If I took a shot each time he says “So” I’d be very hammered. 😆
Or "as well"
I reckon what's happened is someone has been bought this for Christmas and already got one so its been trading in or sold to a shop who has opened everything up to test it and then sold it on wish.
I lost my ps5 pre order because of Walmarts bs…like so many. So me and the wife are walking through target of all places looking for a headset that our nephew wanted for Christmas. Now this was in late November, so the consoles hadn’t been out long. It was right after target opened. And as we are walking around looking this headset I see a Series X. I almost didn’t buy it because I wanted ps5. But I decided to pick it up as I had no idea how long it would take for me to get one. And I love it.
You got lucky they didn't "refurbished" it with a raspberry pi or something like that (using the housing... "Hey it matches the pic, doesn't it?")
You can use a hair dryer set on medium about 12 inches from a item and that loosens the tape adhesive
WoW man, congrats on getting a legit console and nice controller. I tried getting one from wish for my son and got ripped off so I am happy it was legit for you.
Hi I love you’re content! ❤️
Hey Jacob! All of other games I have are digital. I have discs but, I can't play them because my Xbox Series X disc drive has some issues with installing the games so now I just play whatever I bought digital.
Hi dude I love your videos on UA-cam what your make you are the best
i was expecting you to open a box, within a box, within a box, and it just keeps getting tinier and then at the end you pull out a mini xbox replica, i am shocked this was actually legit.
Interesting. The back panel has less Blank holes where the HeatSink is on that model. My console has 5 blank holes. That console has 3. Not sure if that was done by Microsoft but my series X was made in January 2021 that was made in June. Maybe they changed it. Very interesting
Him: Wondering if the console has ever been used at all.
Me: Checking if the console is really real.
Thanks for taking a chance for the sake of good content 👍
Just getting one yesterday I can say batteries Come with it and The controller does come in bubble wrap and cords are new but at one point it had to be opened cuzz no batteries good stuff 👍
I have bought a PS5 controller on wish and it wasn't at all bad. It's surprising what good things you can find if you're lucky.
THATS CRAZY YOUR LUCKY MAN I WISH EVERY PRODUCT WAS LIKE THAT AND NOT A SCAM
Surprised it a tally arrive and not just sent you an empty bag or empty box lol
The only thing bothering me that there isnt much point on having disks because to play the game you need to install a game anyway instead of playing on the get go. Only advantage about it is that you can install the game without internet.
I bought my series x controller brand new from Walmart for 50 bucks. Walmart is usually 5 to 10 bucks cheaper than retail on their website
That lime controller looks cool
Bought it on last restock for $499 from Walmart.. it was insanely easy to get.. not difficult like people say at all
Walmart does some huge restocks quite often and they don’t only last 15 minutes like ppl say..
got mine a year ago must of been hard if it took this long loser
@@UDontCare0 L
Yeah was going to say the same thing. Easy but the console been out a year and you barely got it? Lol I wonder what your definition of easy is lol
Yeah I guess all the millions or people who can’t get hold of one aren’t trying hard enough, since it’s so insanely easy to get like you say
I thought you were going to get scammed with a famiclone 😂
Nice video Jacob
That was a huge risk but lucky for you it paid off 😂
honestly genuinely surprised that it was legit lol
I’m shocked you didn’t get 2 boxes of rocks lmao
You can now get one for $559 it doesn't advertised as refurbished but you never know and wish gave it a product brand verification too
It looks brand new cause the box do come wit the tape on the box just like yours like you said if you rip it’ll peal the box
im supprised people are still overpaying for these. i see them in stock where I live. even gamestop had some used ones lol
Oh! You actually got what you ordered. Coolness.
The force was with you my friend
crazy how wish can provide a xbox but not ebay sellers
Never play a drinking game everytime you say dust 😅
For some reason when you opened the box I didn’t see the console. Like it camouflaged into the box and when you said “and boom” I thought it was sarcasm and you were gonna say you got scammed
You been lucky with the Series X you bought unfortunately that wasn't the case for the PS5.
I was expecting something like 200 in 1 retro game console in fake xbox case lol.
u gotta sign up for alerts from microsoft. I havent bothered buying one cuz ive just been using my brothers since hes been playing PC mostly. But every so often i get emails from microsoft saying they have series x's in stock. the last time I got an email i checked it out in the morning, came home from work that night looked again and they were still in stock.
Massive gamble buying anything off Wish, think I would rather wait for a brand new one, plus a new one is under warranty and you know the history of it.
The lime green controller is 😍.
Just decided to look on wish to see if they do refurbed PS5 controllers and it is hilarious on there. A dualsense is around £60 give or take £5 depending on where you buy them. On Wish, a standard white one is £250 with £10 postage.
While I was there I decided to look at the price of the actual console. The standard price here is £390 and £480 (without any games). On Wish, £966 and £1007 (with the same £10 postage charge). They scalpers in this country don't even charge that much. ha ha ha
I can currently go to Amazon UK and pick up a brand new disc version with GoW Ragnarok for £540 with free postage.
It's from wish so I didn't expect it to even be this good
Bought mine yesterday for retail from target they had one in stock brand new
I feel like if I bought a Xbox from wish I'd live with anxiety of it breaking
I have no doubts that this product “fell off the truck”
Bro can you try buy something on Alibaba.... like a game shell, control shell or cover...Or a console
I got lucky and got my series x new for $540(tax included) from Best buy and been loving it.
I just got a brand new series x on Newegg with new red controller for 560 not bad must be getting stock back
Did he get a warranty though?
the seller did amazing
did u try to press the usb like it was a button
One thing you should consider is refurbish doesn't mean rebuilt. You don't have to take something apart in order to refurbish it. Reboxing something classifies as refurbish, technically.
You probably bought a scalped console. This happens all the time. People will buy a large quantity of something at MSRP and then open the packaging up to make it look "used but in like-new condition" and lower the price just slightly less than other scalpers so you think you're getting a good deal so they can sell it quick, but at the end of the day you're still paying way over MSRP.
Why open it at all and not sell it as brand new never opened?
They are on store shelves everywhere in my town
Amazing video
CONGRATS! YOU ARE A LOTTERY WINNER! 🥳
“The Bluetooth device is ready to pair”
I’m a little surprised to be honest. Cool!!
Is that even a REAL xbox controller? I've never seen those little colored circles inside the buttons
Maybe I missed it but did you ever say what you paid for it?
0:43 anyone knows how clean the rubber of those joysticks, mines look dirty now.
I have the exact same green controller and it’s pretty good
Yea I would still buy new from the retail, only cause of the warranty, these still have there own problems
It's pretty good do you recommend that I switch to a newer xbox version? Because I'm on xbox one s right now.
I didn't intend on buying another console because I have a god tier pc, but Woot! had a sale on the Xbox Series S consoles for $250. I jumped on that and I actually use it, good purchase.
What’s your tv/monitor situation like?
the series X has lots of benefits like speed and such but there arent really any exclusives yet that are designed for the new Gen, you arent missing out on much until new gen games release more
@@oilerguy5494 I'm currently on a 4k 60fps TV
@@leafy126.5 ok
“You’re crazy man”
I just know that if I'd buy from wish (even from the same seller) I'll get an empty box :P
Would like update video in the future
Must of been a one off lol i tried looking all i get in search is knock off controllers and dodgy charging systems.
Hi! Is it me - or does your voice sound a little different on this video?? Different microphone, perhaps?
I’ve been sick
Bro that looks like my contoller
In my country Xbox series x goes around 400€ (used) and series s around 170€(used)
i notice the xbox controller sticker is not genuine. it would have the hello from Seattle
It is genuine and it does have the hello from seattle note. It’s at the top right corner of the sticker
@@NR20244 didn't notice and I thought is was near the bottom right of the sticker
Got my brand new console for 599 (Edit 1TB)
Finally a wish come true.
cONTROLLERS DOPE BUT THE cONSOLE IS NOT NEW IS IT jACOB?
I wonder how many series x|s he has lying around 😂
he sells them on his store lol
Came on the video lol
I want the Xbox Series X I don’t have one and I wish I could of gotten one but I got the ps5 and how many Xbox Series X do you even need bro
