I think you should make sure you have all the pieces/parts. Lots of consoles come w/ download codes in the box, and people will send the Xbox One back to the store after they've redeemed them. It's a common thing apparently. People also "try out" an Xbox One and then return it within 30 days because open box returns are actually accepted on the Xbox One consoles. I read about it on Reddit.
See here: New xbox one x had been opened and resealed. Is this normal? : xboxone
and here:
Bought a “new” One S bundle, not sure if it’s actually used : xboxone
and here:
FYI: Make sure your new One X is new. Amazon sent me a used/open box One X that didn'''t work : xboxone
The asshole Wal-Mart guy refused to give me another Xbox One X, btw. He was like, "well, you have to order it online again if you want it. The ones in stock here are meant for people to purchase online and pick up." Ummm... no. So I told him I wanted a refund. He gave me a hard time and that's when I just went to Best Buy. No problems there.

Yea. I was seeing this with the switch. Apparently Walmart has opened its online shopping market to third-party resellers, which allow the prices to be inflated. I noticed with this switch, when it was the 3rd party resellers, the switches were 200-300 times more expensive. And they were being sold by the actual place, like Walmart. Or even amazon.
That seems weird that u bought an X for 500. I bought an X at Christmas and it was 400 brand new. Makes me think they have inflated it.
