[00:00] at the Best Buy Outlet? kind of things you would get at Best Buy, But is it actually worth it?
[00:14] This is a $67 Chromebook? But the fact that you can get a $67 anything, is because everything is so gosh darn expensive
[00:28] a high-quality item to go used, This is a Chromebook Plus for only $100? Oh, there's only 30 items.
[00:43] Let's take a look at open-box phones? 120 bucks is actually not bad for that phone, Yes, please help me save money
[00:57] So the Xbox Ally, which retails for 600 bucks, Oh, wait, it's not available for shipping.
[01:09] like the fair and the good ones, those are only in stores. Sorry, I just got RAM Crisised in real time.
[01:23] Oh, it's not refurbished, my friends. Why do you link it to me if I? Unavailable, unavailable, unavailable.
[01:38] They probably have refurbished PlayStation 1 on here. Dell OptiPlex. They have Pokemon cards in stock?
[01:52] And I'll see y'all on the other side. Okay, so we have our items from Best Buy. Couple of our items, Alex, got canceled.
[02:09] That laptop was worth $110 or something? Then the camera, which was also a great deal,
[02:21] That time I got a cancellation the same minute Not a great start. I ordered the next best camera deal
[02:34] box in a box. - Padding? - And this is our open-box ZV-1F. This one is specifically listed as open-box excellent.
[02:48] It was a floor sample returned or reconditioned. I see a big old fingerprint directly on the lens. - I believe I briefly used one of these,
[03:02] but it has a fixed lens. Can you give me, like, some of the specs here? It has 20.1 megapixels.
[03:16] as the higher-end Sony cameras. So if you put the little dead cat on, It makes it look like it's got a little toupee.
[03:30] S-Log3 is the exact same kind of picture profile Finally? at the picture quality from the Sony ZV-1F.
[03:44] which should be kind of decent, It's not a lot. Oh dude, you know what the problem is?
[03:58] So it doesn't have any actual, actually has optical stabilization. there's too much wobble.
[04:10] So Alex, how much is the MSRP - [Alex] The ZV-1F goes for $600 retail. How much did we pay?
[04:25] - [Austin] That's not bad. - Yeah. - How much is Because that is kind of like the goated camera,
[04:37] I'm seeing as low as $380. However, the price you pay is a big thing.
[04:52] compared to something like the DJI Pocket 3. We've put the Pocket 3, We're talking about Best Buy.
[05:04] a couple hundred dollars less, See? Next up, we have some tamper evident tape.
[05:16] This should be our refurbished PlayStation 4. This has been professionally refurbished by Geek Squad. it would've been open-box most likely.
[05:30] it's most likely something that is not new at all, because it's not what it used to be. now just encompasses kind of everything that's not new.
[05:45] there's not a lot of GameStop... refurbished devices on the site. a really pretty good condition blue controller.
[05:58] We're missing one foot on the bottom. Let me make sure that it actually has One screw and this just pops out in a little tray.
[06:13] One terabyte hard drive built in 2018. But I actually think that, hardware wise, and/or just sold me a nice, clean console.
[06:25] let's see how our PS4 actually works, shall we? You should consider pursuing- - One of these days. One more time.
[06:42] How is it that every time we get a console, It's like every time, Oh, this is a power-only cable.
[06:55] It's micro USB. You have to have USB at least the first time. And then the controller should nicely pair.
[07:10] (horns blaring) Fast-forwarding through 20 minutes of trial and error. Which means that without a functioning micro USB cable,
[07:24] This is garbage and stupid. I was able to confirm that I could get a flash drive But the main thing is
[07:38] will not allow you to get past the set-up screen. These are very happy PS4 noises. Alex, help me out here.
[07:52] - How much did we pay for the PS4 game... How much did we pay for the game...
[08:04] - [Alex] We paid $180. in the, like, $100 range right now? for, like, $150.
[08:19] it's time to stop. and we can confirm that there are no further issues, another Geek Squad refurbished product.
[08:31] - [Austin] It's certified pre- This, I think, they just sell it right back to you - So this is a (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 14.
[08:48] which I kind of miss. - [Alex] Yeah, I miss that. that still was using Lightning.
[09:01] - It is a very clean-looking phone. I'll be honest, Oh, as my "Resident Evil" also is ready.
[09:16] I don't like you. - [Alex] I don't like you. - [Adriana] What the hell am I, chopped liver?
[09:29] - [Adriana] All right, I'm Robo Raptor cam. Edit team, quick. I got two hands.
[09:42] She looks very PS3-ish. Oh my God, real gameplay? Now, Alex, there's nothing in the info about this
[09:58] - [Alex] I don't think they guarantee anything. - Oh dang. - This thing is basically mint. you're always taking a gamble.
[10:11] the return policy is actually really important. it does really just seem pretty much dead on. which should be pretty solid.
[10:25] In a lot of ways, more useful camera than the Sony that I bought. for our iPhone 14?
[10:39] - [Austin] No, really? - [Alex] We paid $350. especially in this condition,
[10:51] Is that, like, a pretty good rate - [Alex] You can get a pretty decent one But because we got the (PROJECT)RED one,
[11:04] especially with a 99% battery. What's the warranty/return policy, - [Alex] So you have 14 days,
[11:18] the My Best Buy Plus total whatever thing. I think the price is, broadly speaking, pretty good. Is that, like, a pretty fair way
[11:32] - I think so. - More than fair. Next up, we have an item So this should be our Xbox Ally.
[11:47] So this is the base model. I was not a huge fan. and the X was $1,000,
[12:02] - [Alex] At the time. not such a crazy deal. This is dirty.
[12:14] Like, it feels like maybe And every little Timmy was coming and playing with it. See like the, like, the residue?
[12:28] I'm not gonna investigate the wetness. to talk about gaming handhelds in 2026. As of recording this video,
[12:41] the base Xbox Ally hasn't seen a price hike yet. The Microsoft team has spent the last year but mostly, like, the actual, like, Xbox Mode.
[12:56] Like, the big thing for me that was missing with this And that's essentially a deal-breaker for me. and spend some time with it.
[13:10] what the Xbox Ally experience is like. Your boy here has spent some time And it's better than it used to be
[13:25] I appreciate the fact that I can use pretty comfortably. It's still really annoying.
[13:37] of, like, driver updates. had, like, an error message on the top. running in the background so I could hop in.
[13:51] you'll see that not only do I have "Forza Horizon 6," Let's talk about the not so great stuff.
[14:03] For context, the Xbox Ally uses the Z2 A chip. as the original Steam Deck.
[14:16] I'm torn because the Windows experience has improved. it is a ways away from being where it needs to be.
[14:28] The real question, as always, is the price. - [Alex] So we bought it at $550.
[14:40] you could buy it for $520. Okay, that's fine, that's fine. I kind of feel like
[14:54] it's actually not, in this very moment, a bad deal. Xbox Ally, itself aside, I've been able to say all year
[15:08] that an item went down in price? Next up, we've got ourselves some Galaxy Buds. So I spent some time with the Galaxy Buds3 Pros.
[15:24] The only reason I stopped wearing them So when we found the Buds4 Pro I was definitely stoked to actually try them.
[15:39] As always, you're taking a little bit of a gamble ear juice-related items. I'm afraid of nothing.
[15:52] Ooh, ooh, that feels good. They threw away the silicone tips. I have smalls here, larges here,
[16:08] So basically, I have to have baby ears or big ears. - Look, I need the mediums. that these tips are not clean.
[16:24] ear juice on. - Uh oh. I have are the biggest ones, All right.
[16:39] but they're not, like, So that's off. Actually sounds quite good.
[16:51] - [Alex] Hello, this is noise on the level of Sony's, but it's pretty good. - [Alex] It better be "Sweet Caroline."
[17:05] ♪ Ba, ba, ba ♪ - I don't think I've ever listened No.
[17:18] (Austin laughing) just because the tips aren't that comfortable. of the 4 Pros over the 4s and, like, the 3 Pros?
[17:31] - Yep, the 4 Pros are quite good, Without going back to back with the 3 Pros, If I had the correct ear tips,
[17:44] Maybe if you're selling an excellent open-box item, one of these sets of ear tips, The smalls have a little bit
[17:58] - [Alex] The listing specifically states, So these retail for $250. How much did we pay for these open-box Galaxy Buds?
[18:12] I'll suck it up and go and spend $2 on AliExpress with people having, like, that go into your ears.
[18:27] and I'm still, unfortunately, positive. of internet entertainment. There's nothing high-quality about-
[18:42] at some tech we've purchased from Best Buy. - 50% of the people in this room - I have an item.
[18:55] This is- - Okay. - I see you skimped out I don't know if I want a pre-owned eye juicer.
[19:08] - [Alex] No, they don't, actually. This- - Oh, it does not smell good. went right in there.
[19:23] - Whoa. - You guys got so close. It's compressing my eyeballs. - It's massaging. Oh, I hear it.
[19:37] - Oh, it's hot. It doesn't feel bad. - It's not giving? How do I turn it on?
[19:50] It sounds like I'm listening to spa music, (Austin humming) close your eyes and listen to this.
[20:04] (machine humming and buzzing) Can you find a way to make it cold? - Hold on, your mic is- - Can you bring me to a seat?
[20:17] - Can we kill the lights one more time? There's actually a benefit to this you can't doom scroll or whatever.
[20:33] It does kind of make you a little bit more relaxed. - Whoa, whoa, whoa. - And. - Sometimes. - Wow, my eyes are wet.
[20:48] - [Adriana] Man discovers emotions for the first time. - I'm not that blind. - That was- - I don't hate that.
[21:00] a lot of money for it. - [Alex] So if you were to buy this - [Alex] It retails for $150.
[21:13] - [Alex] We paid open-box $84. I think I like this more than you do. - Why?
[21:27] - [Alex] I don't like the way you're holding it. Bad, bad. well, it's certainly not a clean sweep.
[21:39] - Yeah. - I mean, I'm still upset that some If you're looking for some tech
[21:51] Best Buy actually is not a bad move. Make sure to subscribe to the channel. And hey Best Buy, could have been worse.
[22:08] - [Adriana] No, right? - Everyone hates it.
