So I'm just wondering if I'm the only one that likes to buy all my game consoles & video games brand new unless I already had the game before & don't want to spend full price on it again . Do you guys think it's really necessary to buy consoles brand new anymore ?? Just want to know ... because I'm looking to buy another Xbox One S but really want to know if it really matters if it's used or not .

I don't play console anymore, and never bought new even when I did, so there is your answer. Buying full price is dumb and just a waste of money unless you are pre-ordering in which case you kind of have to buy new (also dumb)

But, to each their own.

I dont really have a preference as long as the condition isn't very bad. I got my 2DS pre-owned and its perfect although it didn't have a stylus.

i buy everything brand new unless i owned them which then great condition is what i go for in used or if im just broke and dont have enough for something new, i never bought anything used alot i bought only a used tv and monitor, for pc equipment if its in great condition then i get used because the pc market is expensive.

I always buy mine brand new that way I know there's nothing wrong with it, and that everything is with it.

When it comes to technology, if it's refurbished, as long as the company that did the refurb offeres me a warranty of at least two years I see no issue at all

Bunch of things I get like PCs, consoles, even TV's I will fill in gouges then repaint them so they look new

Clothes on the other hand including trainers/shoes is a no no

I prefer brand new but it's honestly depending on what you're trying to get.
If I was buying computer parts, I'd go for brand new only because you don't know the condition of the pre owned one. It could be on its way out and you wouldn't know and now your down all that money instead of just paying an extra hundred or so for a new one
