Xbox Series X Console (Renewed)

I will update if this changes on anyway.Got to be honest, I thought for a moment I was getting a brand new never before used console. Packaging was great, all smelled new and it was neat and flawless. The only way to know you have a Refurbished/Renewed console is by reading about it on the box on a corner with not so big letters that says "Refurbished"Device is accompanied by a new controller and both HDMI and Power Cord (which all seemed new).At my house my kids and I have been using it for an average of 6 hours daily and so far it is working great. I am now considering getting a fan to maintain device temperature even lower (and extend life).Just in case, get the assurion extended warranty, as I did. You never know how will time affect the refurbished unit and, at around $49 for 3 years of worry free use? No brainer.(PS. it just has 90day warranty out of the box. Prime Day deal had this unit at 369+tax. There are some other Used "Like New" Xbox's from Amazon that brings a whole year warranty.)

I'm always skeptical of purchasing any type of expensive electronics if they aren't new but purchasing this renewed one from Amazon was great! It's been dependable and I haven't had any issues with it what so ever. Recently finished the Assassins Creed Valhalla game and that required MANY hours of game play. I've had no issues and only positive things to say about this purchase.

I ordered this XBox July 17, 2024, for my son's birthday. It arrived and he downloaded his games. The Xbox will start loading a game, but it never launches the game so you can actually play it. The item was under warranty with Microsoft. We started the repair process with Microsoft. It is now February 20, 2025, and we have yet to get an Xbox that works. We have returned the item for service four times. Each time they return it with a checklist saying it is fixed. Each time it has the same issue. They claim they have sent a new Xbox twice, but we don't have proof of different serial numbers. We now take a photo of the serial number each time we send it in for repairs so we can determine if it is the same box or not. The last time my husband spoke to Microsoft, they said they would just replace it. Again, they sent the same box back. It is extremely frustrating and each time you call or email, you have to start the whole story over again. They give us "case" numbers, but they keep closing them or "escalating" the case and getting a new number. Meanwhile, we have paid for a product that has never worked and our son is just using his old Xbox which works fine, but doesn't play some newer games he has. Very disappointing and a huge waste of our time.

Upgrading to the Xbox Series X was a mixed experience for me. Part of me really misses my old Xbox One—it had been with me for years, and I was used to how everything worked. It’s a little sad not being able to continue using it the way I used to, especially since it felt so familiar.That said, the Series X is a strong replacement. The performance jump is undeniable—games load faster, look better, and run smoother. It’s a powerful machine, no question.One downside that still bugs me is the recording limitation. I was hoping I’d be able to capture longer gameplay sessions, but it’s still pretty restricted, just like before. It feels like a missed opportunity for such a high-end console.Overall, even with a few quirks and that nostalgia for the Xbox One, the Series X has proven itself to be a worthy successor. Just wish it gave a little more freedom with recordings.

Order arrived fast and in seemingly perfect condition. Set up was simple, and the console and controller have been performing well so far.

Only problem was it came set in spanish. Had to translate to switch back to Anglish and Hugo Chavez who previously owned it had lifetime Gold and EA and Game pass on it that stayed connected after signing him out and resetting it plus 30 games downloaded was awesome!

Console works great. Only reason for 4 stars is because of the lousy packaging. It was raining at the time of delivery. Just thankful the delivery guy sat it under my porch or it would’ve been ruined.

So far so good…I ordered an Xbox Series X from another third party and was given more issues had to wait almost 2 months when promised delivery date for 1st order was not kept cancelled and reordered again from that party with a better date still had issues so after canceling order 2 times went with a a different third party seller I’m extremely pleased and was delivered a day early Xbox Series X came in original box and in excellent condition
