These consoles hold some people's entire childhood, really interesting as they are basically a time capsule of the past

That first 360, if it has a service date, it likely had it's gpu swapped. They stopped swapping whole mother boards in '09 and just started swapping the chips themselves.

Buy 47 glasses of water and taste test them.

I love these videos of you going through old consoles and peoples old profiles; I wonder who these people are? what are they doing now? It's really cool history that you don't see on KZfaq at all, brings back so many memories of all the old profiles I had on the consoles that I played.

fun fact: a few of those gamertags are still active today

FYI, the sealed "Microsoft warranty holographic sticker" was put there just so Microsoft would know if the case had been opened before to deter people from thinking they could fix their own electronics, but it's illegal for companies to void your warranty solely based on one sticker by using this method of using those "tamper proof" stickers so if you attempted to repair your console yourself. So they were basically put there to make you think that you couldn't send it back to Microsoft to get RROD fixed if the seal had been broken....but by law they had to fix all RROD consoles after the whole "right to repair" law passed which made it where companies like Apple/MS etc couldn't prevent you from replacing the screen or battery on your iPhone (as opposed to strictly making you pay the OEM company to fix/replace/install any broke parts by "official Microsoft technician") Source: I used to buy RROD 360s for like $10-25 on Craigslist or had broken disc drives, and I'd look up the serial number and then request a box from Microsoft where they would send a prepaid foam box for you to ship the console back to Microsoft for them to either fix the GPU heat sync and washers/screws... which was what most of the RROD consoles were caused from, which was the onboard GPU overheating due to how the factory put the heatsync on. Or they'd sometimes upgrade your entire motherboard to a newer version that couldn't get RROD....and im still using 2 of those OG black "Elite" 360 models that still run like new to this day....as I absolutely had a love/hate relationship with the newer "slim" black consoles with the front touch sensitive on button that could ruin your 12 hour long gaming session if you had a cat that brushed its tail ANYWHERE near the front of the console and it would either open the disc drive or completely turn the console off. Also used to replace the disc drives...by plugging in the SATA port of the disc drive into my PC and to read the disc drive to see what manufacturer/model the drive was to replace it with the same model drive and use Monkey Flasher to flash the security key that is binded to each disc drives specific console and reflash the firmware and original security key to the new disc drive so it would continue playing games... since all of the security features for game piracy etc was all just from one little chip they added on to different Samsung/Lite-On/etc 360 disc drives)

OMG! THE 360 WITH THE DISK DRIVE FRONT PEICE MISSING WAS MINE!!! I LOST MY POWER CABLE SO I HAD TO OPEN IT WITH A KNIFE!! TO GET MY GAME! 😂😂😂 OMG THATS NUTTS!! I SOLD IT A WHILE BACK!

15:30 For context as someone who worked for Goodwill, that tag appears to be a label that would be used for organizing products that are getting prepared for shipping or pickup. The top line is the Goodwill it was prepped at, middle line would be the name of the employee who prepped or listed the product online, and the date of packaging. The letter and number code at the very bottom is used to identify products as they are being shelved in the warehouse. It could be that this console was supposed to be picked up by a customer, but they never came so they sold it in a lot. Great videos, Jacob. Loving this series, it's wild how beat up some of these consoles can be and still function well.

Broken or dirty sensor switches for the tray position will make the light blink and tray not cooperate. Also if some plastic tracking is broke off the bottom of the tray. You must have some spare trays to swap in. Slims will also do this if the sensor block is knocked out of place where it clips in to the black plastic. Also some of these plastics are getting super brittle, especially the 15+ year old ones.

pretty cool to watch. I used to refurbish 360s and flip em...also flipped iphones . I remember it was right around 2012 when i stopped doing this because it just became too complicated for me to want to keep up with all the anti-piracy software they started adding to everything that prevented basic maintenance.

You've done more to the original 360 systems than Microsoft ever did.

Wow this was a blast from the past! Hitting the top to get the disc tray to open killed me lol, I don't even know how long it's been since I've thought about that.

Man, I love watching these videos. You actually helped me take a part a PS3 slim with your videos

A couple days ago when I was at this goodwill tech store the lady at the counter started yelling at me to stop taking apart the "whole" console of the xbox 360 even though all i did was LIFT THE COVER ON THE BOTTOM TO SEE IF IT HAD A HARD DRIVE IN IT ._.

I wish gaming had the same vibe back when the 360 was new, like 2006-2009. Maybe I just feel that way because I was young but just the vibe of taking your console to your friends, cousins, or grandparents. Before pre orders you had to wait outside to get it at midnight so you didn't have to wait forever just to get the game. The jankyness of the consoles too even though that was why they'd break but that's even nostalgic to me. Even the game informer mags. Best times for me specifically where winter nights during the holidays playing gta 4, MW2, Halo 3 just waiting for Christmas, seeing family, and just always eating good food... man....

One of the coolest parts of digging out your old consoles is seeing all your old friends stuff on there. It was really awesome firing up the N 64 and seeing all our old records on there and trying to beat them 25 + years later haha.

I've bought 6 of these older 360's broken, and was able to fix 5 of them by replacing the electrolytic capacitors on the main board. One from 2006 still had the blades system.

big props at 18:02 when you opened the tray and the game was Oblivion. my fav game ever. i hope whoever had that console is doing great in life today and is waiting on elder scrolls 6 like the rest of us

This is basically Pawn Stars but for gamers on their mid 20s and I loved it

I recently got a new 360 slim to play some of my favorite 360 games, but my old Elite was pretty reliable up until the disk drive stopped working. I had to constantly manually eject it. That was really the only issue though. Thanks for the vid - this brings back so much nostalgia!

Our xbox had a lot of xbox live profiles as well because people would come over for sleep overs and sign into their own to play split screen, so that might be the reason some have so many.

As a long time 360 user and enthusiast this was a lot of fun None of those were mine but I'm definitely one of the people that would have opened it up (albeit with a bit more care) and just tried cleaning things willy nilly 😅

I used to work at a student union on a college campus. They have student facilities where students can play games. This was recent and they still had xbox360s. So you are most defiantly right some of these xboxs could have defiantly been used on college campus as an Xbox for all students.

I find Xbox’s occasionally at work. I work in paper and electronics recycling, so people occasionally drop off gaming consoles. And I usually keep them. I haven’t tried using them yet though. But Xbox 360 and Xbox one are the consoles I find most, which is interesting. But as far as I can tell they all work! I should see what’s on them.

Bro actually bought 47 Xbox 360s and found that lol 😂

Man , I wish I kept a lot of my old consoles...no idea why I was so obsessed with throwing them on ebay back in the day. solid video!

When you showed the “chewed up “ part of the disc opener just unlocked core memories of me forcing to open my 360 😂

This video made me emotional the amount of nostalgia is insane

Would not be surprised if that one 360 with the missing panel on the drive tray and all those crazy profiles was used in a frat house and everybody just created their own profiles. There was a parent control on there so non-members of the frat could not mess with it.

The white stuff on the second one looks similar to one of my old Xboxs, had limited room and it would only fit in the TV Cabinet vertically and would have to slot it in and slide it back, back in the days before HDMI was the normal, I'd have to unplug the VGA cords for the digital TV decoder, meaning I would be sliding the console in n out often, leaving those marks from the paint of the cabinet.

Love this, i bought an extra memory card for my ps2 to replay some games i used to play as a kid, and it had old save files on it, this video reminded me of that

Just BTW, the late Zephyr consoles (these from end of 2007 or serviced from 2008, 2009+) have reliable Falcon 80nm "Rhea" GPU, so they most likely still work. Same with Xenons, these serviced in 2009-2011 have reliable 80nm "Elpis" GPU or fixed 90nm Y1

0:35 that part killed me 🤣🤣

14:26 I’m sure there will be people who will want that 360 just for the “Brutilize” Account.

I love this series! I'm only starting this episode. I'm excited.

5:06 I guess you pressed the “right” trigger 😏😏😏

if you go into account settings on the 360, you can see the digital game download history

14:58 I went down a rabbit hole looking at Guitar Hero On Tour edition DSLs hoping for exactly that. Mine got stolen in vegas when I was a kid and I know exactly what games I had with it, the case I had with it, the stickers I put on it, hoping that it would resurface on the internet again.

I’ve watched so many of your videos and now it’s making me go over my own devices I’ve had for years

I’m actually surprised at how many people don’t wipe their consoles before selling them/giving them away.

So much nostalgia in this. Even stuff like the first Halo 3 TV commercial and the ‘Et tu, Brute?’ vidoc. It’s sad to see all the old accounts and these busted up consoles, I remember the hundreds of hours of great times I had on my old consoles…wonder where they are now 😢

The blinking is the drive closed switch not reading. Either a foreign object is preventing it from closing all the way, or the sled lift mechanism is stuck, or that switch or its wires are broken.

Yeah, my 360 does the thing where the disk tray comes out, then goes back in on its own. It also gets stuck sometimes. Never knew why it did that, only that I had to be really quick on the draw to change out the games. I still have that one, and still use it. It's a Halo 3 Special Edition that I've been using since at least 2011. A little less lately since I got an Xbox One, but still. It's got my Minecraft saves on it. :P

it amazes me how many people don't do a factory Reset LOL. When Getting rid of the old Console

Hey Jacob just to let you know whether the Xbox 360s has 4gb depends on the model year. For example the Trinity is the one that doesn't have the 4gb nand chip, they where manufactured up until about 2011 August, anything after that would be a Corona motherboard which has the 4gb chip

love how you check out the history and see last played on the accounts, keep up the great work

I have the slim one. It was the best one out of all the 360 models. I had mine for eight years and it never broke down and it still worked like new. It was also the first xbox with a built in Wifi. The white ones sucked and would break down on you in less than a year. Powered mine on five years ago and it still ran like new, It also has a slide in hardrive that you can pullout so you and easily replace so you didn't have to open up the xbox to replace the hard drive if it broke.

This is pretty interesting. I wonder if anyone has ever done this to my old consoles

this video makes me appreciate how good of condition my xbox 360 s is.

He said "He's wearing a dog 🐶 mask" meanwhile the gamer tag is KillerPanda and it was definitely a panda 🐼 mask... 🙄 😂😂😂

I think you'd see A LOT of that Halo 3 trailer because, for a time, literally that trailer was the most popular thing to ever exist. I recall a particular bit of misinformation from someone saying "it shows his face without a helmet!" led me to IMMEDIATELY go home and download it as soon as school was over... In fact, that trailer still sits on my console to this very day owing to how nostalgic it is and relatively little space it uses

Hey, I used to take horribly scratched discs to the local mall gamestore for $2 they had a machine about the size of a VCR that could fix them up like new 99% of the time! You might be able to justify buying one of those...

I just noticed something! The last Xbox 360 you unboxed and tested in this video with the “SuperrichMoth” profile, the Initial Setup option was grayed out meaning there was parental controls and it seemed you didn’t notice.

It’s like opening an ancient tomb you never know what you’re going to find. This is a relic 2012, 2016 dates from the past memories people were happy playing these Xboxes

I remember back then I went through multiple Xbox 360s as they just wouldn't last or were defective out the gate (3 original white consoles and 1 black Elite). It wasn't till the Xbox 360 S came out that I finally got something that remained stable. I still have that 360 S today and it still works (and has not needed maintenance). I may be interested in getting another one just to have it in matte black. Side note: When PS3 launched, most of my game time went to that in those days. Still have an original fat model that works. I currently use the regular slim model.

My thought about the "white scuffs" on all the black consoles, is that around that time, white furniture was the thing lol. I had a white TV stand and a black 360. Lol. Also had white night stand, white bed frame, white dresser. Most of my buddies had white furniture in their room too. Could be wrong but just a guess lol I miss the simpler times

I like to think one day someone who gave away their Xbox at a goodwill, watches this video seeing his gamertag up there.

Dont think I didnt notice the cool transition at 7:08. That hit right in the middle school nostalgia

Lol, on the topic of that N Lamar console, when I lived in Austin I found their electronics prices in general to be pretty outrageous for a thrift store. I think they had a particular crowd staffing those locations, though, because a lot of them dealt in tons of ewaste from Dell/UT Austin

There are quite a bit of X360 indie games that have not been preserved. Please take some time to look through this lot of 360s you bought and preserve what you can. I can't seem to find a list of exactly what's missing, but I know there is a bit not preserved. Thanks

"Man its just amazazing that all these consoles that have been sitting in a warehouse for who knows how long are cleaner than dkoldies refurbished consoles" 💀

bruh the raywilliamjohnson transition killed me i couldnt have expected that with a crystal ball

This brings back tons of childhood memories with me and the boys dominating some BO2

The black elite with the messed up disk cover could of been one that was in a game Cafe like place. When I was going to Airborne school in the army back in 2013, there was one of those café places that had a couple dozen of 360s to play.

If you replaced the thermal paste on that Zephyr, did a 9v fan mod, and added a heatsink to the HANA IC, it would work forever. I wouldn't pay 10 cents for that thing the way it is.

Fun fact that skull with black and red colors theme was the State Farm free dashboard theme! I still use that theme on my current 360

The white marks are most likely to be wall paint that had been rubbed of onto the console

Interesting stuff! I got a 360 that works great, but I get an open tray error and it wont read discs anymore. Opens and closes fine too! Been baffled for years. Any idea what to do?

just put the band in boiling water for a bit it wll shrink the band and will opening the dvd tray like new

Also something to think about is you could possibly ask the people for the login info for some of the profiles like the profile that is literally just Hi I bet a LOT of people would pay good money for that gamer tag.

loving this haul you got.

Buying stuff from good will in bulk to turn a profit? :/

I didn't see anything that I'd call weird

You rock JR keep em coming bro

the white stuff might be from a console sitting against a wall with cheap paint, the heat would transfer the paint to the console, which happened to my old 360

How do you not factory reset your console before selling it?

If one of them had marvel vs capcom 2 installed that would be insane, that game is worth over 100$ for disc version

I’m just feeling all the late nights that these consoles had it’s crushes me soul honestly that there will be no more late nights with these consoles

5:03 you can disable it by going to the Xbox website and entering the serial number then reset the password. I don’t remember exactly how to do it but it works

I'd be mildly amused if one of these turned out to be modded

I like that you actually clean out the consoles and point out the ones that you didn't, unlike dkoldies.

I saw from the unboxing my old xbox 360, The xbox 360 arcade with the black 120gb hard drive and a turtle beach sticker on top. Could you happen to test another set of 360s with it in the video. Just brought back nostalgia.

I still have my MW2 console, use it for streaming movies still to this day and it still makes the noise of night vision goggles when I turn it on.

This is kind of sad to be honest

Youre trying to make profit of 360s lmao

That =3 transition though. That made me feel pretty nostalgic lol

Isn't goodwill is supposed to be a place for poor people to buy cheap stuff second hand??? Why is this guy buying and reselling stuff meant for underprivileged kids???

Is there any particular reason your trying to turn a profit off of stuff from goodwill? You know the place where underprivileged kids have a chance to get something like that. Nvm that would be good for views.

broooo that first one you showed i remember who owned it dude man i hope that console still is going strong

I used to work at a nintendo warehouse, i unboxed returned wiis. 90% of consoles that "did not read disc" had a disc in upside down. Any game that wasnt wii sports i nabbed

just crazy to think the people who owned it once could have a family now

when i was younger, i had an old xbox 360 that was pretty scuffed. My dad had bought it from craigslist, and it was owned by a chainsmoker. The worst part about it is that when you close the disc drive without a game in it, you would have to pry it open. I made a lot of childhood memories on it, im sad it got sold.

I used "Like a boss!" as my profile bio a lot too lmaooo

As a kid, I used to have a fan blowing on the power block bc it would turn off otherwise

The raywilliam Johnson transition was awesome

Oh, the power button sound of the 360 is so nostalgic.

Right click four times is a legendary moment

the =3 transition was dope

18:04 seeing a T-rated oblivion in the wild is cool
