This console was taken apart to be dusted out and had new Arctic MX-4 thermal paste applied (see last photo) to lower temps and hopefully increase the longevity. Power supply is an NOT an official Microsoft one, I purchased it from a local game shop. PSU and AV cables included. Some game discs have surface scratches, but all are tested and working!
