I’m glad I used dbrand and bought the black plates (original) and a skin for the glossy part. Did not want that gloss to get scratched up. Especially in the areas of the ports.
Destroyed ports is likely from someone grabbing the console and yanking it forcefully from where it was sitting, or it was hit/smacked/thrown to the ground and as it fell the cables were ripped out at extreme angles with a lot of quick force
It's actually amazing that this even happens considering that my dad would always rip out the PS4 whenever he got mad at at me and to this day it still runs fine
Ps5 plastic feels so cheap and creaks so much I try and avoid unplugging it just because it feels like the friggin port is gonna come out my ps4 got threw off my desk at the wall and it’s still running mint and that’s the day 1 edition
Thank you for making these videos i watch them almost everynight i have found them to be the thing that has helped me fall asleep the best. They are mainly all the same so i usually click a random one and before i know im sound asleep thanks 👍
My guess would be these are insurance returns. swapped for brand new consoles and rather then get them repaired and resold the insurance company sold them at a auction. the person who brought them probably looked at them in hand and just flipped them on ebay.
Well, as a full-time repair shop. I can tell you that while keeping a ps5 in one place seems like common sense, it is not. Plenty of ppl bring them to their friends, or kids with divorced parents bringing them back and forth from mom and dads. Then you have people who do not value their investment - meaning I have had people had themsetup in not safe places, tripped over cords while the ps5 is on the coffee table and so on. In addition, I find the majority of PS5 repairs I do are from customers who stand them up vertically. Vertically seems to put strain on the hdmi port and in addition, they are more prone to overheating. Dust goes in the top and burries aaround the power supply where the hot air exhaust is. So what seems simple and obvious - people do not take care of their systems. Especially when most are purchased by parents for their kids and the parents are not gamers. This is my experience. The same was true withthe PS4 also.
@@DJStKittz thanks for telling us this, should i place my ps5 horizontally then? would u say with confidence that it would be better for the longevity of the console ?
I don’t care what happens, during this economic downturn, $1700 is going into crypto (XRP, XDC) or put towards the equities market. I understand he has a popular channel, but still, $1700 is still $1700.
great video. your presentations are really good. and props for the editing. I love the little comic scenes. particularly the scene when you're about to bend the metal plate on the disc drive and its all-tense feeling just watching you go for it then it cuts right back to the drive scene with you talking.
Not out of this world but they could be something to do with insurance claims due to things like Tornado damage. Just because how much they are to buy.
Wow. Didn't know people could do that. I take good care of mine. I have a great backpack to put him in, and I just cleaned him recently too. I'm being very careful.
ps5 #5 is two possible scenarios video game rage or spouse pissed at the other for some reason picked it up while still plugged in and chucked it across the room is my guess
$1,700 is a cheap price throw it in the trash who cares about money that’s what the scalpers wants your money no refunds stuck with the PS5 consoles forever
bet they where at some point transported by DHL or UPS all in all if the seller said they fell of a truck thats the first time i would asume it actually fell of a truck and isnt some black market stolen goods
Unfortunately, you paid way too much money for this trash. That should not be more than max 200 per console, including shipping. I don't know if you are repairing them for profit or just use them to create content.
Sony keeps touting the PS5 sales, which are over 10 million, yet you have so many systems broken, not being used, or stuck in warehouses for resellers who now have lost money on the consoles.
14:40 those scapes are just from taking the plates off. I bought my ps5 brand new, took the plates off and the black plastic was scaped in the exact same way
Can confirm this as well. Got my PS5 from PS Direct on launch day and it was like this too under the shell so it goes all the way back. Guess there was a lot of pressure to produce these units in the factory so they weren't as careful with the plate assembly maybe.
That is what I was thinking. The PS/5 has not really been around all that long (not quite 3 years as of this posting) and amazes me just how beat-up and dusty some of those things are. I guess there are some people just don't care care of their gear. Sucks that accidents do happen, but really?
@@SkiBumMSP I think a lot of people let them live on the ground. That’s how they collect tons of dust. You’re def not caring for your ps5 if on the ground
Is it worth buying one of these instead of a brand new one, im not bothered about cosmetic damage just as long as it works, i know these are going to be cheaper but is it worth it?
If you are confident about working on electronic and your luck in general. All of these PS5s got smacked/scratched into the ground, two got its port wrangle'd, and at least one received water damage, not to mention the potential console ban... I wouldn't try my luck considering new PS5 are still being made.
dude wtf i made a comment that was just about the video and it was auto deleted becaued i trried to edit and just a error came back and reloaded the page and its gone
I will never understand how people treat their electronics this way.. you spend 500-600$ dollars on a system, why are you treating it like utter garbage?!
Don't use the liquid metal in any of those consoles. They don't have the isolation protection the ps5 does so is very likely that the liquid metal will spill and damage the console as it is very conductive.
No it will destroy your ps3 gpu and cpu after 1 to 2 years and also ps3 doesn’t have any protection for leaking so if it leaks it will short and fry your ps3 and also switch cooling is good enough and your better off getting the best thermal paste.
So you got 5 PS5 Disc Editions which are barely tested, sold as partial broken and not refurbished and they look and work basically the same as a overpriced DKOldies "refurbished" Console? :'D
Could game store that has player playing inside store I worked at at game cafe/internet cafe and all usb look like yours we replaced ps5 and Xbox x when there need any repair
Out of curiosity, Jacob. Do you often just take your consoles apart to clean them? Do you think the average consumer does that? They don't....so. Dusty consoles should not be something worth remarking. I've been repairing solid state tech since the 90's and that has always been the case
I wonder how many of these damages were caused because of a jealous girlfriend, rage quitter’s throwing the system or just somebody moving, and dropping their system down a flight of stairs (which I’ve done to my Daughter’s Xbox one S) Personally, my PS5 sits on top of a 6 foot bookcase so your video gave me a bit of anxiety. But one thing I learned from your video is if there’s a earthquake and it falls there’s a strong possibility it would still work after the fall.
Jacob R ever since the PS5 came out you're videos have been nothing but PS5 content and nothing else like PS5 games pickup or maybe Rare PS5 games. it would be great if you could mix it up a bit not just have the videos you make just be about the PS5 cause it's going to get old quick if all you talk about is just the PS5.
@@jrob0021 I know but I've watched them all already and your new videos are either about the PS5, Xbox Series X, or DKoldies drama. I don't think I have seen a new video about game pickups or maybe if there's a game on either console you think may become Rare or games you have picked up on the cheap from retailers you know stuff you did with the PS4, PS3, and even the PS2 where you were like I bit the bullet guys and bought a rare game from ebay. I just kind of miss those videos and maybe the consoles are not that old to do videos like that because games are either starting to get more expensive than before or there's not many PS5 games worth making a video on I'm just saying I miss those videos.

The PS5 actually looks like it's wearing a giant life jacket due to the shape of the white barriers on its sides
Was wondering why the Jacob R content wasn’t showing up on my feed and then I get this video. Thanks! :)
