    Xbox smells like a chemical smell..


    I've had the xbox series x for 5 days now. I've noticed a slight chemical smell and thought it was just normal with new electronics. It's the 5th day and the smell is filling up my room and is becoming unbearable. Does this smell eventually go away? I've never had an electronic smell this long before. Hoping it goes away..

    :)

    Elite controller has strong chemical smell

    Same thing here. I bought it today and there is bad chemical smell. This is supposed to be a quality product. Very disappointed.

    Elite controller has strong chemical smell

    Has an exchange of your controller helped? Cause I received my Elite Core yesterday with the same chemical smell. Now I wonder if all Elites have this problem and all other people accept that or if just few have this smell which comes from the rubber material.

    Game manuals.......or lack of

    I never read them anyway.

    Its actually the manual that adds to the majority of the new game smell. Due to the chemicals used in the printing process.

    Why Don't You Buy Used Games?

    Say, did you know that the chemical for that "new car smell" is the same thing they put into ping-pong balls?

    Seriously, cut open a ping-pong ball and take a whiff.

    No, it's not toxic.
