Just a heads up too my fellow PS5 Owners. I recently purchased a "new" Midnight Black PS5 controller from Amazon during Prime Day as it was $20 bucks off. I received it today and noticed that the seal sticker was rather off kilter. That was my first indication that something was fishy, mainly because they are always perfectly adjusted to the box. Than my suspicion was granted more weight when I noticed that the plastic covering that all controllers come in was rather scuffed and placed in the wrong position. The final nail in the coffin was when I took the controller out of the plastic cover and inspected it with a magnifying glass and flash light. There was clear indication of use, not very much but it was still clear that someone had used it before. There were small scratches and minor blemishes on the touch pad and a clear scuff mark on the back (albeit small) of the controller.

Quite frankly I don't give a flying fuck if it was taken out for a second and put back in. If I am buying a item and it is being advertised as new, I expect a new item never before touched or opened, period. And so I am writting this to warn my fellow consumers, if you do buy a controller from Amazon double check it! Hell, triple check! Do not let these assholes get away with charging you full price for a used item. I issued my return and next time I buy a controller it will be directly from Sony's store.

P.S. Always check the seller. The one time I forget of course I get got.
