4:42 jesus christ John, don't grab the discs like that
Blu-ray can read through scratches and fingerprints
@@keithbrisbane7775doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care
I bought a refurb disc PS5 for my kid for Christmas. No reason to spend that much on a brand new system.
What an insult. You also act like sales don’t exist
@@jollama $500 with a game isn’t a sale it’s a bundle. I already have 3 PS5s in my house no need for a game I already own. So I’m not saving anything.
@@jollama OP posts a wholesome comment about getting his kid a system and you respond with this? Bruh
You're an awesome parent. Sucks that even this late in the console lifespan the price has only gone up...
@@yesitstrue6285 and that's great, I am just trying to make sense of why they decided to adopt this strategy, this late in game when other consoles like Nintendo and Xbox have been doing it for a long time now.
Sony replaced my launch console with a refurbished model a few months ago for free. It's flawless on the outside and runs great.
The PS5, for all it's faults, is a well built machine. All the materials like the metals and plastics are premium feeling. Not sure I can say that about that many other consoles, including the PS1-4.
You bought it at launch? I thought the warranty was only for a year.
@pichuy1422 it is, however the error code I called in with was deemed a "manufacturing issue" and they offered to replace. I was willing to pay for it but they said it was a "1-time authorization". I'd share a pic of the email if I could.
GameStop has set the bar so low for refurbished systems that an actual dust free device is an astonishment.
"If it fits in there, we've had to remove it" - electronics repairers and emergency nurses
With all the know scrutiny of refurbished systems these days, I am sure Sony made sure they did a decent job as they knew there would be people tearing them down.
Of course you did John, of course you did. Can’t wait for your PS Pro teardown.
my ps5 has been standing up since launch day without a stand perectly, not a fall or scratch on it.
So has mine. However, as I get into long game sessions I do hear creaking noises coming from it from time to time. So I am a touch worried about what is going on in there and if it will lead to something.
@@jonathan__g I hear noises like that from mine and its refurbished from sony because My og ps5 literally just broke and kept turning off when I played any game, even after I cleaned it by opening it up. I hear like creaking sounds from the console. But I imagine thats fine but maybe not. There are reports of og ps5 leaking the liquid metal after a couple years of use. But I don't have space to put it horizontal to avoid that.
@@jonathan__gbro same there’s always some loud knock or something loud coming from it sometimes at random like a plastic creak or something
@@jonathan__gI hear that on mine too since launch. Its the plastic covers moving around from the heat, should be okay
@@jonathan__g yeah i hear that too, think it's the plastic creaking from heat but no issues here since launch so i guess it's fine.
Usually refurbished consoles from Japanese based companies are top tier. Nintendo has had a refurbish console store for decades now, and they've always been in "like new" condition. I would take one of these officially refurbished consoles any day over a used one. And if you live in state with high sales tax, these prices go a long way! The ONLY downside is availability; they have what they have.
OEM refurbished electronics is the way to go; I'm happy with refurbs from Nintendo, Sony, and ThinkPad bought years ago and still running fine
The way this is packed is exactly how you receive a console replacement from their repair center. PlayStation sends you a refurbished console as opposed to your console repaired.
I really doubt any of these have been fixed in any substantial way. Probably not even an HDMI replace. Large SMD reflows? No way.
If I had the money I'd actually consider doing it.
Do you think the original model is better than the revised model?
I did used the regular ps5 stand horizontal but after a year i moved it back to vertical and the stand burned an imprint on the side of my ps5 lol
Yea the new models don't need a stand which is why they don't put in the box anymore. The new stands are more for cosmetic
You pulled the *secret rare* of the refurbished PS5 consoles. Definitely luck of the draw!
Some people are weird, why would you stick in another disc if the one is stuck?
Very small children, maybe
No idea years ago I bought a pretty cheap PS3 fat model the actual original one with back compatibility. Set the disc drive wasn't working at all so I decided to see how else it worked and for the most part the system itself was working fine.
Took a gamble on opened it up and when I opened up the Blu-ray drive there were four discs in there! 3 music and one DVD -_-
@@Planag7 You discovered free stuff, that’s a bonus.
My Ps5 been standing without the stand since around launch and i have no issues.
I've got the 2022 PS5 model lucky to get it in black friday deal last year. I use the stand with mine vertical. Even if sony didn't include the stand this thing would stand up pretty well on it's own!
Was it annonimously bought? They sometimes know who orders it and they send a super clean one. That being said i bought a refurbished series S from microsoft and it was the same, alnost thought it was new and it only cost 180 euros, about 190 freedom money tax included.
Yeah I bought it with a different email account for PSN
The PS5 only fits my setup horizontally. The fact that the cover is part of the horizontal 'stand' on the slim model, where the cover scratches over the surface all the time, is an instant disqualifier to me. WTF Sony? How cheap can you get?
I purchased a PS5 slim disc from Walmart 3 weeks ago for $499 CAD
"Think about what could fit in that slot on your PS5 or Xbox... we probably removed it."
You can't tell me you didn't imagine a guy walking into GameStop with a ps2 sticking out of his pants and a worried look on his face.
Lmao packaging is even better than a brand new Slim, plus having the disc drive built in without requiring an internet connection, pretty good option tbh
I have a PS5 slim and it's set up vertically without a stand. Haven't had any issues so far.
I've had my PS5 standing vertical without using the stand since launch. Never had an issue.
What was the firmware out of the box
Thanks for the insight Jon
My wife has been wanting a PS5 for years we’ve thought about going refurbished
Sony refurbs are actually a good choice. I own one PS3 CECHA01 factory recertified. Turns out it came with the 40nm RSX instead of the original 90nm RSX GPU chip. It's reliable and goes for a $600+
we sell some at work and often take back some that don't work.....
I love how you had to jab at Sony with the 8k logo😂
I had mine standing for about a year, but now it's lying down due to space in the TV stand.
They gave jacob r a disc model stand for the digital console lol😂
We stand with you Coffee! Never back down Truthseeker!
I have my ps5 slim standing up without a stand bottom heavy enough
The stand is just for added security for people who don’t take care of their things as well as you
😎 Tech Wave 🌊
What firmware was it on?
I got one too nothing wrong with mine, no scratches looks brand new
I still have my day 1 console. But refurbished from Sony of course first. If it's this price it's a steal. These systems are reliable.
Hopefully it’s not a DKOldies situation and it was only this clean because they knew you were reviewing it.
probably the best price option for people who want a PS5 especially everyone who wants GTA6
I have my PS5 slim vertical with no stand. No issues at all, very secure.
My dad always told me buy brand new. That way I won't be skeptical of whatever modifications (if any) done to a refurbished console. I already have a slim PS5 that i got as a gift brand new and I am hoping to get atleast 10 years out of it.
Also to answer your question, I stand mine up vertically due to the size of my desk. Since the slim doesn't come with a vertical stand, it was an additional $15 purchase.
mine is vertical with no stand have no issues not sure y it even exists
Now that's a price id pay. But i still need a little more than that
My ps5 mainly collects dust. I would have def waited and bought refurbished at this price point but mine was a gift. Meh.
Glossy black plastic
When will Sony learn??
My son keeps trying but so far nothing horrible has happened to my disc drives.
might be an option for me once i save up some money.
I have two cats... mine is, has always been and will always be on its side.
Bought my kid a bundle slim no stand hold still perfectly fine tbh
MULTIPLE, FREE, CARDBOARD CONSOLE STANDS!
I saw someone else bought 2 and made a video and it was not a good experience
PS6 won't come with a power supply (/s)
Dang, no PsOldies scenario here 😅
Can i kiss you bro
On the lips intimately
Vro 😭😭 wth 😂 @@EastDallasKicks
@EastDallasKicks ill kiss u bb 😘
With tounge action
Nah
Those are dirt cheap.
It'd be nice if it was a giveaway
Thank you for the video. I was walking my cat yesterday then my dog told me about the channel and insisted that I watched it. My cat is already subscribed. My pets love this more than me but I love it too.
I bought a refurbished Spawn Wave from TH-cam
Is it purple?
@@alexgibson7960 translucent purple

Let's see under the hood of a Sony refurbished PS5! I am here for it man!
Say prayer: Jesus is Lord and I believe in my heart that God raised him from the death on third days, Forgive me Jesus with your shredded shedding blood on the cross and save me in Jesus name amen.
Amen!
God isn't real true
keep it to yourself buddy
Amen.
I pray to the other 2,999 gods
Got to find that daily view money as always.....
When it comes to electronics... I refuse to buy refurb anything... not even a refurb furby.
Ay
What's happening! Why is Sony selling refurbished consoles? First repackaging old games and now this, I am starting to think they're scraping the barrel because they are despite for money.
I hope this is sarcastic
They receive plenty of broken PS5's throughout the years, which they can fix, and re-sell.
Bait used to be believable
Every company sells refurbished consoles. I've bought a few refurbished switches from Nintendo.
bro refurbished consoles are a good way to attract new customers especially people who dont make as much money its smart on their end
Ps5 pro pre order is ready!!!
This isn’t the flex you think it is
@@AlexP-dz7ewand? Some people are excited for it. Well worth the 700 in my opinion for what you’re getting. My only complaint is no disc drive included out of the box
@@adamthiry868 nah bro, just get a PC at that point. PS5 still got no games
@adamthiry868and there are just as many if not more who are not happy. His opinion is just as valid as yours.
@@Gamefreak924 don’t want a PC. I buy nearly all my games physically. Don’t want to download everything. Got the disc drive waiting for it. Ps5 has tons of games man. I have a backlog of ps4/5 games that is very deep
I love your videos but wish you would change up the Tik Tocky delivery dude
Sorry, but $400 for a used/refurbished system is utterly ridiculous, and anyone who WASTES $400 for this is a total idiot. The video game industry deserves to crash and burn for things like this. In the end, greed and idiocy will eventually come back to bite you.
@@chakroc $400 for a system that they have stopped manufacturing and making accessories for
400 is a good price for a used ps5. Up until 2 years ago people were buying them for 700 from resellers. I plan on selling my launch edition when I receive the pro.
@@murray821 Again...many idiots in this industry. Folks who pay hundreds of dollars over retail price for anything that is not a necessity simply aren't the sharpest tool in the shed.
I rather have a $400 PS5 over a $1000+ iPhone
“Calm down son, it’s just a video game.”
The jabs at 700$ ps5 pro are unnecessary. The price is fine
No, it's not.
@@mpholicx2 what? The console is 450-500$. Pro is only 200$ more expensive. get a grip. The price is good. We live in 2024, not 2011
