You should never buy a refurbished console period. They are just used consoles that were tested and maybe dusted

That's a lie. The preowned ones are the ones to worry about, not the refurbished.

Should be safe enough if it's refurbished by a major retailer. If it's some 3rd party seller though, I'd be really skeptical.

Never EVER pay full retail price for a refurbished console.
It's just a stupid move financially, as you don't have any sort of manufacturer warranty to rely on. And if it's been refurbished, then it had had at least one issue in the past.

There's nothing on new consoles that is really worth it yet imo. Well that you can't get for PS4/XB1. Not worth paying retail for used anyway.

We ARE talking about a system that was released only a bit over a year ago. This isn't something that sat in someone's garage for 7 years.

Not always a good sign though. I bought a used Wii U from GameStop about 6 months after it released and the thing would randomly eject discs for some fucking reason. The replacement died after like two weeks and I just gave up.

Only if you're extraordinarily desperate to play something, but it's not like any of its very few exclusive games are genre defining.

Since a PS5 can do everything a PS4 can that's enough of a reason to get one whenever since it can just replace the PS4.

The thing that has me holding out is I want to see if they release a "Pro" revision.

Every console I've bought since the Wii/PS3 days were all refurbished/pre owned and I've had zero issues with them, buying new is overrated especially if you can get the used console for half the price. Though since TC is talking about full price then I wouldn't recommend it tbh

Did you even watch the video? He points out the differences multiple times. Including the fact that refurbished are actually cleaned and updated with new parts. Like a xbox manufactured in 2017 having a drive inside dated for 2019 for example, which is in the video. The preowned one is the only one that had nothing done to it and was caked in dust on the inside.

Yeah, that's all BS

Nothing wrong with refurbished.

I was lucky, though, and got my PS5 the day pre-orders opened up. Didn't even know they'd still be impossible to find over a year later.

Man I was lucky.
