For those after an aqua shift controller these are new but without box. Sold out everywhere and more than the $100 RRP.

Standard Xbox series controller with rubber grips.

      Says "as new" in their title…

    For those after an aqua shift controller these are new but without box.

    So it's a fake… right?

    Like who in their right mind would throw away the original boxes for an actual limited edition controller and repackage them in brown boxes?

    • Shermanpk on 11/12/2023 - 12:49

      Could be genuine but unused stock.

      But sounds dodgy to say the least.

        Same seller as the removed handheld game console with 500 games deal from 3 days ago.

        I think it's pretty safe to say that these Xbox controllers were sourced the same way. (AliExpress/Alibaba, Flipkart, Indiamart, UBUY, etc.)

      Part of their quality checking process, they want to show that even their retailers do the quality checks before selling their product. :)

      OK, but can't they take an existing controller and then copy the serial # and use it on all of them? People wouldn't be any wiser.

    • Austere on 11/12/2023 - 17:02

      Nice suspect there was an issue with the batch and they had to test batteries

        Isn't this AA removable batteries though?

  • hollykryten on 11/12/2023 - 13:42

    Some thing suss is going on with this. If you scroll down further on the page it says that this device will be presented in a brown box. Genuine Xbox Wireless controllers don't come presented in a brown box, it's in retail packaging. I'm having a suspicion that this is a knockoff Xbox controller.

    As i said if this is brand new and a genuine controller it will come in retail packaging. Not an ordinary brown box. Most likely a non genuine and knockoff. So avoid at all costs.

    • logisync on 11/12/2023 - 13:48
      +1

      Maybe, but if they went to the hassle of doing a knock off xbox controller, youd think they go the hassle and do the packaging as well being alot easier.

      Possiblty its some sort of OEM stock, if thats a thing for Xbox.

      The other part that is off putting in the title it says "As New' which is a second hand description ?

      • dm02 on 11/12/2023 - 14:13

        From my experience replacement controllers come in a brown box .. possibly OEM replacement stock that they've opened and tested?

      • hollykryten on 11/12/2023 - 15:07

        Costs money to make a fancy retail box packaging. And you need the right equipment to do it. More likely they bought these suspected knockoffs from some dodgy supplier and sourced a bunch of cheap boxes to put it in.

        • ballingoutacontrol on 12/12/2023 - 15:33
          +1

          This is a bit of a fetch, replicas will usually come in a box to avoid any fake remarks. But since they are so open about it being in a brown box this is most likely a OEM or some sort of replacement provided by Xbox/Microsoft themselves.

    • koolchamp81 on 11/12/2023 - 14:31

      May be this retailer is more environment friendly and prefers to use brown box. :) 🙂

  • hollykryten on 11/12/2023 - 15:01

    I don't understand how any one can think that this is genuine if this is their every day price. It smells suspicious and coming in a brown box. Price it low enough but not too low to suck gullible people in thinking it's actually genuine.

    So right yeah they're going to sell at $40 off the RRP on an everyday price and arriving in a plain brown box and yet some still think it's genuine. Ok then.

    • bargainatoraah on 11/12/2023 - 15:11

      All fair points. If anyone gets one let us know how you go.

  • Gravy on 11/12/2023 - 17:12

    Seconds perhaps, maybe some cosmetic or operational fault that didn’t quite pass quality control? Or could be perfect, who knows.

    • hollykryten on 11/12/2023 - 17:16

      Does Microsoft even offer factory seconds for sale?. First i've heard of it. Never heard of an Xbox factory seconds. I don't think they do. They are protective of the brand and quality.

      • Gravy on 11/12/2023 - 18:21

        Yeah you would think that would be the case. Another possibility is box damaged stock.

    • hollykryten on 11/12/2023 - 18:11
      +11

      What console bundle?. This is a special edition controller which hasn't shipped with any console bundle any where world wide. So it can't be excess stock from a console bundle. You can rule that out. Also i highly doubt that Microsoft makes excess controllers to supply to some third party company to ship in a brown box. That doesn't happen any where. You can only get non retail issued controllers in console bundles or perhaps as a warranty replacement. But i don't think a business would have a crap load of warranty replacement controllers for sale. How would they get that many warranty replacements all in one go?. But as i said this certain controller has never been in a console bundle. So it's you who is mistaken.

      • Vinodra on 11/12/2023 - 18:30

        These were most likely bought in bulk from some liquidation company, only explanation I can think of.

        • hollykryten on 11/12/2023 - 18:32
          +3

          Then if that's the case it would all come in retail packaging. It only comes as retail single controller, no console bundle. They won't open it up to test it. It would be sold as is, in the sealed retail package. The only reason i can think of if they open it all to test battery life is if they know that it's non genuine and that that some may come with a bad battery.

          You see no company in its right mind opens up the retail packaging, takes the controller out and replaces it with a brown cardboard box. What's the point in that?. It would devalue its worth. It's worth more unopened sealed in the retail package. This is a special edition controller which only comes in retail packaging. No current console bundle, nothing but retail package. So if this special edition controller aint coming in the retail package then it's suspect as.

          • Gravy on 11/12/2023 - 18:42

            @hollykryten: Unless the boxes were damaged, water/smoke/physical damage etc.

            • hollykryten on 11/12/2023 - 18:43

              @Gravy: Personally i wouldn't want to buy controllers from a batch of water or smoke damaged stock.

    • vid_ghost on 11/12/2023 - 20:12

    Not sure if it matters, but the listing doesn't claim to be a genuine Xbox controller. So if it's not, it's hard to claim they're lying about it.

    Took 3 days to arrive, was packaged as described in a brown box then double wrapped in thick bubble wrap.

    If it's a fake, then they're the Rolex of fake's, Whole thing feels indistinguisable from my legitimate XBOXSEX controller.

    Haven't actually tried to use it yet, but i've high hopes.

    Ok I think I worked it out. These are overstock for warranty repair replacements. Since these are now out of warranty for those purchased at original release, these are being cleared out.

    If you return a standard controller under warranty it arrives in exact same brown box bubble wrap.

    Unless they fell off back of a truck…

    • hollykryten on 22/12/2023 - 16:47

      • bargainatoraah on 22/12/2023 - 18:48

        I don’t know but guessing Microsoft clearing out surplus. It’s 100% exact same packaging as a warranty replacement controller direct from Microsoft.

  • hollykryten on 22/12/2023 - 16:50

    URL has the word refurbished in it. And product page says selling as new. Gee.

    But how would a seller have so many warranty return refurbished controllers?. Did a pallet full of Xbox Wireless controllers get wiped out by a large forklift or some thing and all got replaced under a bulk warranty. Otherwise how would they have so many.
