Ever wonder why the Microsoft Xbox Series X / S look the way they do?

Be very careful when purchasing any video game console online, especially the hottest item of the year. That’s right, we’re talking about the Sony PlayStation 5.

The auction site has a buyer protection guarantee, so this person will be receiving a refund.
