GameStop is already selling refurbished PS5 Slim consoles, despite the fact that these things just released in November 2023. How are they already getting so many of these? And what are they refurbishing? Have people already bought PS5 Slims, broken them, and then traded them in to GameStop? Let's see if we can find out...

I got some insight as a GameStop employee. 9 times out of 10 these consoles are shipped from stores to customers across the country. The employees are instructed to never open systems or even try to repair, instead we are just told to make sure it turns on and connects to the Internet. Beyond that if we take in one that's defective then it goes to the warehouse but a vast majority of those ones go back to stores

I worked for Gamestop for about 6 years in the early-mid 2000's. We didn't have magic erasers, but the buffers they used to refurb discs were a joke and created more issues than they solved. Canned air and q-tips were how we were expected to clean items in store, Idk how the warehouse refurbs worked, but systems got retuned quite often. Esp Xbox 360s, they'd refurb a red ringed system only for it to crap out again within a month of purchase

@edwinalexis593 4 ай бұрын

The first 360's motherboard models (Like "Xenon", etc) are doomed to always red ring, the thing that stopped that from happening anymore was to just put newer, improved motherboard models on the following versions. The "refurbishing" of Xbox 360 first models was just something done to buy time until they figured better motherboards and disposed the older ones that would never stop red ringing (Ex. I got a "Jasper" model and to this day it has never red ringed, even when played things like Rockband 2 "endless setlist" for 8 or 10 hrs straight)

Also a current gamestop employee here. My store is kind of slow though, we just got our first slim edition traded in a few days ago. As @baeleth said, we just turn on the system, make sure it can connect to the internet, check the storage to make sure it hasn't been tampered with somehow (sometimes happens for older consoles), then testing a game to make sure the disk drive works fine, and lastly deleting everything off it after we purchase the system. Gamestop does require us for a ps5 for example for the system to only be sold if they have all the components with it. So one dualsense sony controller at least, an hdmi cable, usb charging cable, and the stand (vertical for the OGs or the 2 clip things for the slims). Otherwise we're not supposed to take it in, so it's weird that you got 3D printed looking clips. The fact that the initial console looks to have been "cleaned" makes me assume that Gamestop took it in as defective and it got sent to the warehouse to be fully cleaned and what not and they did the "best" they could, which may also explain if you got a controller that hadn't been updated in well over a year because we send back alot of defective PS5 controllers mostly for stick drift and the warehouse "fixes" them.

As a former gamestop warehouse employee, they actually instruct employees to use sandpaper. They do use magic eraser, but it was never as abrasive as I see in these videos. It's the sandpaper that really does them in. Also, cleaning the inside is not really an option. There is no time for that, according to management. They moved in 2023 to an assembly line type production. Everyone has a specific job and cleaning the inside is not one of them.

@@chocolatewheelchairI have went to him for like 10 or 15 years. The two issues I have ever had was one PS4 that got stuck on a software update which was not his fault. He swapped out a launch PS4 for a pro to make things right. The second issue was an OG Xbox and it's disk drive. The Xbox worked and everything, but it was an issue he wouldn't have noticed unless he played it for a while. After playing for about an hour the disk drive kept freezing. He made it right by switching out the Xbox and gave me $15 back because the replacement one is missing the Xbox logo on the disk tray. His prices are normally better than ebay too. The more "refurbished" consoles I see the more I realize it's just as simple as going to the Indian guy knowing you're getting what you pay for. Plus you can always clean it out yourself

I won’t be surprised if the consoles come from people returning the product before the Christmas deadline. I previously worked at a Target. Starting November we had a Christmas return window until Jan 21st. So people were buying consoles and sometimes they made it obvious that they were going to use it and return it before the deadline. I don’t know Gamestops Christmas Return Policy or if they have one. Won’t be surprised if it’s a mix of that and true trade ins.

I can offer some insight as a current GS employee. When anyone trades any system in, we're told to make sure it has an HDMI and power cable and a cable to charge the controller for Sony systems. Half the time people forget at least one of them and then are confused as to why we wouldn't be able to take it without it. I don't know the internal policy from corporate on the USB-A to C vs USB-C to C cables for the slims, chances are they'd just say "It has a USB cable that plugs into the controller doesn't it?" and require we take it. Also, as others have mentioned, while they have given us more steps over the years to check for some power failure and console issues, most of the time its just "does it turn on, does it read a disc, does it connect to the internet, is the system banned?" and that's it. We can't call a system "defective" from cosmetic stuff unless it's drastic, like a crack in one of the PS5's fins or something. Also, I have no idea about the "magic eraser" stuff cause I've worked for GS twice now in the last decade and have never worked at a store that had or used a magic eraser. So that's gotta be something at the warehouses and not an in-store thing.

A console needs to be updated to the latest firmware to trade in to gamestop. I know this cause when I went to trade in my Xbox one it wasn't updated and he was going to update it their but it would've took forever since the store wifi is slow. He just told me to come back when it was updated so they can test all the features on it. The controller might not be the same one that came with the console if a person didn't give them the controller with it. The stands being missing could just mean the people either forgot to bring them back to gamestop with them or they broke or lost them.

Usually obtained from theft or less than ideal circumstances and sold to GameStop for a quick buck. It’s like a pawnshop from video games but less regulated than a pawnshop. Than you have the buyers regrets, people that thought the slim was an upgrade, people that found a better deal, people that gifted the console. Moms trading in their son’s PS as punishment. List is endless. 2 months isn’t really a short amount of time for thing to go from new to the used market.

I feel like the only cleaning products that GameStop has are magic erasers lol

Well, they're magic. Why would you need anything else?

Having to connect to the internet to use the disc drive is insane, I had no idea this was a thing. Welcome to the future I guess...

you would be surprised how dirty people are with systems and controller, you have not seen nothing until someone trades in a system with bugs in it

If anyone got gamestop pro we price match and also let everyone know If you get protection on your product that is new, you will get refurbished or pre-owned..but if they don't have it..they have order the product or store credit contact Customer service first..thank you have nice day everyone

the fact theres already refurbished ps5 slims... this is probably them just doing this on purpose since they know they basically get free publicity (bad or good publicity) or bad batches coming in like stores that mark down things because packages come in damaged

Glad i saved my horizontal stands cause i had to use one to wedge under the $30 vertical stand to get my ps5 to sit perfectly vertical. Without the horizontal stand wedged under the left rear, my vertical stand had the ps5 leaning just a little bit to the left and i didnt like that. Now im being super ocd about this but yeah i think if sony wants to charge $30 on a stand they need to pre-fit those things and use a level to make sure they are straight!

lol funny, I went to GameStop 3 days ago and got a new ps5 slim digital edition for $425.

as bad as the condition of the PS5 is....they at least did shipping right. I am surprised they actually bubble wrapped it and put some efforts in shipping protection. Amazon in the early days of maybe 2000s used to be excellent in shipping protection. After they became wildly successful, seriously.... no matter what I buy, they just throw the thing in the box or bag with 0 protection!
