Do you just do XBOX 360's?
Or XBOX Ones as well and why?
If you ever make the final Foreign Disc video, make sure its a LaserDisc player, specifically the Pioneer DVL-919!!
I have a falcon motherboard
Xbox 360 should worry about red ring of death?
BTW you should worry if the red light glow on 3 of 4 of those lights.
15:39 2014 was 9 years ago bro not 7 lol
Fact: The very first batch of launch consoles from 2005 had that “Includes a bonus media remote” sticker on the box. Which is how you can tell that it is one of the very first batch of consoles to be sold at launch. Honestly, such a incredible find Jacob! Been a long time viewer since 2017 with the foreign disc videos! The HDD going bad is starting to get common when it comes to older 360s which is a shame as they came with cool bonus content, like themes, gamer pics and even music! They will also include Hexic HD!
Those 360s from 2005 - early / mid 2006 also had the Dark Silver trim on the HDD, the top and bottom vents and the controller, which looks much nicer especially when compared to the grey trim which replaced the dark silver one.
1888 is in fact the first ever dashboard to be released as it came on new 360s from 2005 - early 2006 and is obviously very rare. During launch day, there was already an update which was 2241 (The second dashboard to be released) so a lot of 360s got updated on launch day, though updates 2241 - 2858 did not blow a E-Fuse which means if you have a 360 that has 2241, 2255, 2258, 2857 and 2858 you can actually downgrade to 1888 on one. Only the launch titles will play on 1888. The marketplace blade came out in 5759, before it was part of the Xbox Live blade. I’ve also noticed that 5759’s system update folder is on the root of a lot of HDDs for some reason, which is why one a previous blades system that was showcased prompted an update when the HDD from another system was connected.
Very cool info, and thanks for watching!
My 07 console (Falcon 20GB) still had music and Hexic HD on it, videos, I'm not sure
Hexic HD is one of my all time favorite games! I remember playing iterations on my Zunes and Windows Phones.
i wish i could be this knowledgeable about anything in my life
@@latranslol 💀 me, and i’m supposed to get my accounting degree this year. glad i’m not alone
It's surprising how many people don't reset their consoles when selling them. It doesn't take long to just use the built in factory reset options
Not a lot of people are aware of that or even care, honestly. Heck people still don't wipe or pull PC drives here and there.
@@amak1131yeah mate, I once found "corn" on a 1tb HDD that came with my dell inspiron 570
Yeah, i work at ewaste and most pcs still have full on user accounts on them @@amak1131
I remember back in 1999 hearing about the ps2 and getting really excited I was only 12 at the time so had no money but I managed to sell my ps1 and game collection and only being £46 off a ps2 my dad gave me my birthday money early and camping outside game on release day I was the 10th person to get a ps2 in my town . Last week I was cleaning out my dad's house he died 2 weeks ago and I found my ps2 still in its box with the receipt from 00:12 26/11/2000 I picked up a crt from Facebook and iv been playing my dad's gta3 save from the memory card he never finished his playthrough and his last save was 2005 . I just finished it for him . Love you dad
Nice story but wtf is that pfp lmao
Literally brought a tear to my eye
Nice bro RIP your dad
Something I always thought was cool about the launch 360s is they had a different finish on the grey accents on the controller and the console vents and HHD. it was more of a gun-metal color as opposed to the satin grey/greenish tint color they used later.
I always wanted the 360 with the gunmetal accents back in 2013, but they were so hard to find
@@PatWizard Yeah I only knew maybe two people who had that style of 360. Very rare!
I was fortunate to get a 360 at launch that came with the free media remote. I kept the box for a while with the sticker but eventually had to get rid of it during a move. I never thought I would see one again so it was very cool to see you unbox a brand new one. I remember reading that only the first 100,000 360 consoles came with the free remote so the box and console are quite rare.
I still use this same remote on my Xbox One lol.
@@phlooke Nice! I still have my remote. Haven’t used it in years.
The Texas LOAD, best series yet
Agreed!
🙏
You definitely found a Texas load or two judging from the thumbnail.
Truth❤❤
I'm sure Grinder loves this series as well🤣😂
I feel you on disturbing stuff I once bought a beta 2 (a early 1980s VCR) hoping for some cool TV ads or even recorded shows. The guys wife was eager to sell it at a yard sale and was excited when I bought it. All of the tapes with it had a bachelor party and a naked woman dancing which explains why she wanted it gone so fast lol I also once had a DVD lens cleaner disc. It had a video of a beach and was intended to set your colors, contrast, brightness etc. As I'm checking my settings they show a topless woman on the beach-on her back-with no censor at all so strange they left that in
That explains why that wii was sticky tho 🤔
@@legthepegMost likely 😂
Dang, so disturbing seeing naked women
I bought an Ipod once years ago at a pawnshop. Had some sweet music on it but was also full of pictures of a trans dude.
@@kalmlykeabombbased pictures
imagine little timmy watching this then recognising his wii his mom sold years ago and jacob clicks on his photo galery 😂
bruh
A saw an old man’s face as I was scrolling through on the Wii, so I’m gonna guess these were not little Timmy’s photos 😳
duuuddeeeeeeeee @@jrob0021
@@jrob0021 OMG ! 😂 i hope you washed your hands after touching this. no wonder it was sticky.
@@jrob0021BRUHHHHH 💀💀💀
This is so nostalgic man. Brings back so many good memories.
I didn't have one at launch, but we did get an Xbox 360 when Gears of War launched in 2006. It was wild how good the graphics were even on a CRT TV. We got broadband early 2007 and I made an Xbox live account March of that year.
Good times, man.
I agree the fact that it was manufactured on launch date makes it super cool imo
I found your channel like 2 days ago and I’ve binge watched so many videos. I don’t even play games that much you’re just entertaining 😂 you’re making me want to buy a lot of consoles and see if I can make any money off of them
That’s awesome
Me too
How about you sell them at the price you bought them from
@@perrycoffey5410know any businessmen who work for free?
@@perrycoffey5410 then there's no reason to sell the same price u got it from plus that mean u getting money back so no
Thankfully, the one I just unboxed didn't have the RROD! I also had the same issue with another OG xbox 360 unboxing! It seems that the HDD and capacitors go bad over time! If you find bad caps I'd be happy to replace them for you 🤙
does a trinity xbox get bad over time?
@@yol_nI have not seen them go bad. Everything will go bad in time but it looks like Microsoft used higher quality capacitors. I've opened hundreds of these when I was selling RGH consoles and have not found one bad cap. The slims and E consoles are far superior with build quality. Hope this helps! 🫰
@@GFL_Tech I'm gonna buy a trinity but can at least the bad parts be replaced?
@@yol_n It depends on what goes bad. The console is really easy to work on once opened but all capacitors and SMD parts will require a soldering iron or rework station to replace. I think a trinity is a safe play if I would recommend a xbox 360 console.
@@GFL_Tech Yeah stay away from Corona the virus, not the console. conspiracy maybe?
I would definitely change the old thermal paste. Cool find of a launch 360.
This 360 is staying closed lol. It’s not a console I’ll actually use anyway
@jrob0021 good idea there's not many that haven't been cracked open yet
@@jrob0021 Capacitors will start going around this time on light use 360s, for it to last means it likely has panasonic capacitors but they may already be starting to bulge, don't want it to leak on the board, one of my launch units is fine while the other has bad caps. Its worth an inspection and to see if its a korean XGPU + Canada XCPU if so, you've SCORED, these avoided the RROD.
I hope you realize that not everyone who owns these systems can easily change a thermal paste no problem.
@@spirit_green But we're not talking about 'everyone' here. A collectable item is no use being a deadweight when consumable time affected components provide critical operation to its functionality.
Wow, congratulations bro, you actually got a launch day 360, that is extremely rare. congratulations.
When you test Wii disc drives you should check if they can read super smash bros brawl (or any other dual layer disc game) as well, because its printed on a different kind of disc and sometimes the Wii becomes unable to read them, even though it can read most other games perfectly fine
18:45: there must have been lots of wii wiis on that wii 😂😂😂
“Last played in 2014 must of been about 7 years ago” bruh I wish, that was NINE years ago
Just wanted to say your the person that got me to start collecting older consoles, Love your vids! Id like to see some more from that texas consoles you have
Hard drives must have been a common problem back then because I can remember one of my like 6 360s I went through for one issue or another had a hard drive go bad randomly. I lost everything it sucked. Glad to know it wasn’t just me like I felt like at the time lol
You could say that they blew a "Texas Load" all over that console...
🤣🤣
You should take the batteries out of the controller packaging! If they haven't already, they will corrode and leak battery acid on the controller.
The corrosion is part of the 20 year old console experience!
Nice
@@jrob0021💀
I am shocked you do not use gloves during these.
Didn't know the OG xbox 360 dashboard looked so cool, thanks for showing it !
My girlfriend (now wife) stood in line at Best Buy to buy me my 360 at launch. She also bought me a ton of accessories I didn't even ask for. We got married the next March. It actually did take a few years for me to RROD, but it eventually did. At the time I upgraded to an Elite but I eventually had Microsoft fix my original (for free) and then I sold it at a garage sale for $50 or something.
Keep up Jacob!
I like watching you video's
The second you saw that red ring for a second, it was just, all optimism, his smile, gone.
Referring to your comments about the original dashboard. I actually did get to experience it around launch time. Brings back memories when you booted up the new old stock unit. I remember as they changed it and how it got increasingly more ad invested. These days modern consoles have it even worse.
"New old stock unit" sounds so paradoxical but makes sense at the same time lol
@@CAPTAIN_CLOCK That is the standared phrasing retailers use to refer to old stock that is still sealed in original packaging.
Its often nice to find stores that have such items, its like a treasure trove of getting to experience things new that have been out of print for some time, almost like a retail time capsule.
That wii has seen some stuff
Still have mine. The headset foam rotted away on mine. Remember opening that box. Brings back memories.
That OG dashboard is still the best dashboard to date. It was so awesome, super fast and easy to use.
That residue was there from day one those things were so annoying to peel the plastic off the disc drive on your new console and have a giant sticky mess lol
I had a launch 360! you have no idea how excited i was to get it. Used with with my ipod and zune (yes zune) and it let you sync and play music through the game through the blades. Windows media center was the shit too for a kid like me with tons of pirated content on my pc.
I've switched to pc a long time ago now, but I'll always remember the wonder and amazement of unboxing and setting up my old 360. Honestly the OG days of Xbox Live I met many friends that I still talk to today. You don't have that same kind of camaraderie on PC. I'm not sure that exists today even in the console world today still.
It's like that, there's no good people in this generation. But maybe there's hope for all the og gamers like you and I
im 29 and always loved coop games with friends with awesome comrade vibes. and yes i agree, pc has less of those wholesome moments with people. i play left 4 dead on both pc and my xbox one still and still notice the difference in comradery
always enjoying the content!!
Man I miss those days with the Xbox 360 blades interface. Kind of nostalgic even though I didn’t get one until the Arcade version.
those hdds are either rock solid or made of glass, my launch one broke and when i bought a used one it was also broken but they swapped it for a working one for me.
8:33 - "A free game called 'Blow'?" Pretty sure that's the Johnny Depp/Penelope Cruz movie from 2001?!
It’s a great movie btw
you got a link for those corn pictures you found? lmao
I used to buy and repair old computers many years ago, and it was flabbergasting how often I found private dirty images and videos on them. People really aren't careful enough with their private images. I guess they forget the images are even on there after a few years, and then they just sell it or give it away without even thinking about it.
I don't even have images or videos of that nature but when I get rid of an old laptop or something I still always take any and all storage devices out and smash them before selling or giving something away or even if I'm just throwing it in the trash.
Systems didn't come out of the box brand new with the RROD. If it did it was super rare. Heat cycles are what caused the RROD. If you plan on using it I'd put the heatsinks from a falcon on it and mod it with faster fans. That will give you the best chance of it never getting a RROD.
Yeah I mean the likelihood of a dead gpu out of the box is slim, but there are so many things that can go wrong with these og 360s that I honestly expect a red ring every time I boot one up 😂 I mean, we got a red ring in this video lol. You can get a red ring on these og consoles just by not having your av cables plugged in 🤣 obviously it’s not a critical error in that case, but it’s always scary when those lights pop on
such a time capsule, i had one of the launch models that were jtaggable. had updated mine though and ruined that possibility. Loved the original blades dashboard
Should’ve been titled: The Texas Skeet 😂
Release the corn as a subscriber goal 😂
I had a Dashboard on my 360 that wasn't Blades but came before NXE. It was solid White, you could change the color of the menu headers and it didn't have the menus broken up into "Blades". I'm thinking I either had a console loaded with a prototype GUI or I had a showroom model. My folks bought in 2006 for me at the pawnshop and I had that GUI for literal years, it wasn't until 2010 the it updated to NXE and that was just because a game installed the new Firmware. I never played Xbox Live, I never even connected the thing to the internet.
Yeah, my Xbox 360 forced me to update to the Metro dashboard from the second dashboard after blades. I don't remember any of the names for the dashboards other than blades, I used "Metro" because it looked very Metro honestly especially the Metro steam skin but I'm referring to the dashboard that was around from 2013-2016 (that's when I first connected it to the Internet, and when I first got internet lmao) and first featured the Bing search tab to the left of the home tab.
I should definitely look into the dashboards and what makes each one unique. Definitely an interesting subject.
Why did u update if it was Prototype you probably and you didn't update you could have probably sold it for like let me say at least a couple hundred a collector would have went crazy for that
I'm sorry to say but I don't think it was Prototype because well at least what I read it said prototype units did not even have a dashboard
This video was an absolute treat
I just stumbled across your channel and i love this series
Whoever had that wii was dropping a different kind of load.
The best first time watching this series! Thanks you and keep it going please😊!
You found homies first "stash".. give it a proper burial
LOL!!! I bought a Fat PlayStation 3 off a guy on Craig's List a number of years ago. Way back when marijana was still illegal in Washington State. When I got it home I started going through it. Hestill had his profile on it so I checked out what he had. No games, two episodes of South Park, and 200 photos of various pot plants growing in a sketchy looking green house. A few hours after cleaning it up I got an email from the guy saying "Don't worry about checking out the hard drive. Just go ahead and reformat it, there isn't anything important on it." LOL, a little too late dude. 😆
What episodes were on that thing?
@@ElectroMaster20 It was so long ago I forget. I want to say they were from the first or second season. I got it in 2007.
takes me back, the nostalgia is real.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. That OG dashboard slaps
Thank you. I couldn't use antenna input, it would stay at Smart cast. I tried it with the remote and don't work. Then resorted to CZcams and did exactly as you did. Works now
it would be cool if once you finish this series, you make a long compilation video of all of the texas load episodes
The Xbox 360 is such an incredible console to ever been made.
Nah. It was for kids. 😂
@@princegrooveNuh uh
@@princegroovelmao tf are you talking about? Xbox 360 is for all ages.
@@after-d1rk Nah, it was too basic and had kiddie controllers, lame console deign and ugly off-white color, and the lame overpriced peripherals…man!
It’s trash, kid.
But here's the question, did I asked for your opinion?
It may not have red ring now, but you gotta remember launch consoles after enough stress started showing red rings in June 2006 so it won't get red ring now but it eventually will from stress the cpu and gpu solder connections
You finally got a Wii with "fun" photos lol
No wonder why the buttons were sticky
...........
I'd be curious to see when these Wiis were last played before the final last played date.
Bro found the spank bank
I’ve had my red 360 Elite since June of 2009… such a classic console
The launch of 360 was so amazing i had so much fun with that console. I don’t think we’ll ever have that kind of leap in gaming again.
There was a lot of sketchy stuff going on within Uno or really any game that utilized the camera lol. Many of free games were downloaded this way haha.
I remember I got the arcade version. My mom got it as a surprise. The guy at the store try to upsell her but I was so adamant all I wanted was an Xbox 360 it didn’t matter what kind and I also remember spending like 60 or 70 bucks for a refurbish 20 gig hard drive later on oh the days I missed 360 watching this video makes me want to get one now not to mention the original dashboard before and NXE
The envelope icon on the Wii calendar doesn't actually show when the console was last played as the icon only shows up for special notifications (mainly Wii Sports fitness tests or new PBs), although it would take a long time to find the actual last time the Wii was played because you'd have to individually scroll through every day!
My original launch 360 did the exact same thing on boot, E67. It did then sort itself out after a few reboots. I think I had 3 of the OG's red ring on me. Even with all that grief it's still one of my favourite consoles of all time. Thankfully MS did replace 2 of them in warranty. I actually lived only 5 miles from one of the main repair hubs in the UK so the turn around was pretty quick.
I found a core console when they were still hard to find and I was so sad it didn't have a chrome disc drive and eject button. I bought them on eBay just so it looked like the one that came with the hard drive.
Oh man, This brings me back when I unboxed my Halo 3 Limited Edition…
I traded in all my PS2 stuff for it. It still hurts to this day.
I knew the HDD issue straight away, I had the same problem about a month ago
Finally great to see a Blades Dahsboard Xbox 360 that (mostly) works and in such pristing condition!
You need to create T-Shirt merch with "What in the world?!" written on.
I got one for christmas 06, let me tell you how nostalgic i was when i saw that dashboard.
do you look into the save data on the Wii when exploring, or are you just not showing it? imo it would be interesting to see, what games those people played or if they had a large library etc etc
I look sometimes, but I typically cut that part, otherwise the videos get reallyyy long
The wii reminds me of a used ps3 I bought at Gamestop. They didnt factory reset it. The system was still downloading corn.
You can actually disassemble the og hard drive and stick it in newer models with the door to hard drive slot. I have actually done this and carried over all my saved data
In reality that was a black wii with the dirty pictures on it but it’s covered in a few “Texas loads” I’m guessing lol
“Congrats on owning the most exciting product in the planet’”
Who wouldn’t rather have a Lamborghini?
Watch Episode 5 of Power On: The Story of Xbox. Wouldnt there be crazy lines like that at the Lamborghini dealership too?
I still have my original Xbox 360. It's a red one so I think it was the special edition for resident evil. Still works to this day and I still play on it regularly. My fav game is viva piñata
I have the Xbox 360e I’m 17 and that was my console when I was younger somehow I found it being sold bought it again yet it still had my account on 😂
I know the GOW one was red as well with the black skull.
@@Cllxm18you bought a console, that you sold. I see.
Yes sir
I even remember back in PlayStation playroom there was basically CP going on because any console with a camera could stream and it’s not like they were moderated. Someone could report it but it wasn’t immediate. Crazy crazy man
samething with the uno 360 camera game
@@CollynPlayz So many memories of wild stuff going on in that game. Weird video streamers like KiddieCowBoy, a guy I remember wearing nothing but a cowboy hat and a single sock... Then there was the leaderboard drama between Jason3535 and Britta. They'd play for hours all day every day to one up each other. If you ever got scammed out of 1600 point cards thinking you were getting a cam show from a hooter's girl - sorry - that was my brother lmao
i like how the console sounds like when its turned on, this sound makes me calm
I'm surprised you haven't come across any modded Wii's or 360's in that lot yet!
Texas load, I bet whoever had that "dirty" Wii dropped a Texas load lol.
This one cost $1100 in New Zealand at launch, as a bundle. I miss the good ol days of genuine excitement.
"2 gigs, plenty for a Wii" while I look at my Wii with a 128GB SD in it lmao
Oh god the nostalgia. That's the only console i ever got near launch.
2009 Xbox 360s still had Blades. The Blades were replaced later that year. I got my first Xbox 360 in 2009 if I remember right
love your videos man
You should start calling this series console archeology
❤your stuff man looking for the next one 😊😊😊
When you get a shipment of wiis and get someone's Wii-willie lol
Back in the day when you could still put a disc in the console and play the game right away
Second Xbox came with the best Johnny Depp movie known to man lol
Bro used his science project as packaging.
I'm so sorry jacob
YOU FOUND WHAT?!!
oh man this series keeps me entertained at the most random times of the day
Lmao “Free game called Blow?”
Pee wee is rolling right now😂
I still have that 360 sticker on my dresser haha, only thing keeping my childhood alive in that way
Jacob the 1st wii was actually me and my family’s wii from 2014 I remember that exact Nathan and nate avatar
When the 360 was launched I'd just figured out how to mod the OG Xbox. I probably spent another 6+ years on the OG Xbox. Then Circuit City went out of business and I managed to buy 10 250GB HDD's for $125 and started modding/selling the OG's. Made enough to get the PS4&XB1 on release day. Never owned a 360.
2 bad hard drive is insane. I enjoyed the unboxing of the xbox 360. (Also the Texas load series is great)
Imagine putting naughty pics on a Wii 🤣🤣👀💀 bruh he be going through all sorts of hoops lmfao. Good stack of consoles JRob
Ikr 😂 why on a Wii man
@@jrob0021 godamn yeah man 🤣 talk about being suspicious. you better grab gloves and a UV light lots of antibacterial soap. Two hours later and I still can’t get over that 🤢😂
