Microsoft Xbox One X 1TB Console with Wireless Controller Enhanced, HDR, Native 4K, Ultra HD (2017 Model) (Renewed) : Video Games

After reading the reviews, I will admit I was a little apprehensive in buying a renewed xbox one x. But, since it was a great deal and I knew I wouldn’t find it or less, I went a head and bought it. I am so happy that I did. I actually waited to write my review until I had used the xbox for a while, since it seems others had issues after using it for a few days. Well, I purchased it on Feb 11 and it is now March 25 and not one issue. In fact, I even signed up for preview builds and have gotten a few updates since my purchase. I am able to game using 4k graphics for hours with no issues, no heating up, nothing wrong at all. I have a 55″ 4k TV and the video from the xbox is amazing. I play heavy graphic games like Destiny 2, Call of Duty and others so at first I kept a close eye on the machine. I can literally game with heavy graphics for hours – like 4 -5 hours at a time and no issues. I also watch 4k streaming on Hulu and Netflix with no issues there either. The xbox did come in a generic box with only the power cord and wireless controller, but I get Gamepass Ultimate free through Bing rewards, so I wasn’t too worried about not getting the Xbox Live Gold subscription. Also, I had extra HDMI cables, so again not an issue. As for looks, the machine looks brand new and the label says it was made in 2019, so maybe I got one that was not actually renewed, I dunno. There is no certified renewed sticker from Microsoft like they would put on it. All I know is, it works awesome and looks brand new, so I am happy. I would definitely recommend getting one. I use instant on, so it loads really fast and I can use my Android app to download games on the go, or use my voice via Google Assistant and turn the machine on/off, or to record things as I am playing rather than using the controller options in a “heavy situation.” All-in-all a great purchase and I am happy I made the decision to go with it.

It works really good, still using it to this day, got a tool set and clean it out regularly, and great quality.

Product is in perfect condition with a excellent price point.

I was a LITTLE concerned after reading some of the reviews on this item when people said that it was DOA or had this or that problem … but I bought this unit in April 2020, and It has been running perfectly. There was absolutely NO damage or flaws of any kind, and even playing GTA online or Call of Duty, the fan never kicks up at all … if the room is quiet, I can hear the fan running at a very low RPM when it’s working hard. I don’t know if the refurb process replaced the factory thermal compound or not, but when you have a gaming console start to get noisy from the fan kicking on, 9.9 times out of 10, all you have to do is take it apart and put in new thermal compound between the CPU, GPU and the heat sync and you’ll be good to go. That stuff is really only good for 3 to 5 years so be mindful of it and your console will last a long time.For the price, I would say this is an EXCELLENT deal. I bought a Microsoft approved Turtle Beach wireless headset which pairs directly to the console just like a controller. I got the Stealth 600 model which was only $99 and they are amazing! The battery life on them is unbelievable and they have different volume controls for chat and game audio.I also added my own 4TB external hard drive to the Xbox which all played out without any issues at all. It’s a USB 3.0 drive which is the only requirement for adding an external hard drive to an Xbox One. I filled up the internal 1TB dive in the first two weeks and I’m already halfway into this 4TB external.This was absolutely a good purchase.*** UPDATE ***It has now been two years and six months since I bought this xbox, and who knows how many hours logged on it. I’ve added an external 4TB hard drive which works perfectly and this unit continues to run like a work horse. Still 5 stars!
