Welcome to Episode 1 of... The Texas Load! We're driving 1,400 miles to buy a 900lb (!!!) lot of untested video game consoles, and on the way, we're stopping at as many retro video games stores as possible to buy cool stuff! Each day we have a different challenge, and today's challenge is to build the coolest PlayStation setup possible.
Here is the video schedule for the week:
Monday 7/17 3:30pm EST - Episode 1
Tuesday 7/18 3:30pm EST - Episode 2
Wednesday 7/19 3:30pm EST - Episode 3
Thursday 7/20 3:30pm EST - Episode 4
Friday 7/21 3:30pm EST - Episode 5 (this will be the "unboxing" of the ENTIRE 900lb lot of consoles - a HUGE video!)
After this week, we will have weekly videos going through every console to test and then repair/refurbish as needed. There will also be another twist to this series, which I will reveal later on! I really hope you guys enjoy.
I will have The Texas Load merch coming soon! Check out the links below and sign up for my newsletter to be notified when merch goes live. Any merch purchases are very much appreciated and go straight into the funds to make this VERY expensive series of videos possible!

As a Tasmanian, I was amazed when I found one retro game store in Melbourne because there are none in Tassie as far as I know. Ever since EB games started the Zing Pop Culture thing which now takes up half of my local store I’ve pretty much just gone to buying games on EBay.

I'm a big fan of this little series. What part of Texas are you going to if you don't mind me asking? I'm from the Houston, area, and I really love my local shop. The owner used to have a store out of his house, and ended up turning it into a pretty cool little local store, with some great stuff. There are a few others in the area, but I personally don't think they're as good. Looking forward to the next video.

Man, some of those stores remind me of this "little bit of everything" gaming store we had in my area when I was growing up (I can't recall the name.) They had everything from the newest gaming consoles at the time, PS3 and Xbox 360, all the way down to a game of Pong, and everything in between. There was so much cool stuff there like addons to systems you didn't even know existed in the first place for pretty much any consoles you could think of, as well as a ton of games for so many old and new consoles. I have so many fond memories of that place. I was sad the day my mom took my brother and I there and the building was empty and for lease/sale. T'was a sad day indeed.

@steveom9047 Жыл бұрын

Found myself a loose PSone bundle at the ValueVillage/Savers that was behind my home. Consisted of the console with power cord, screen, controller, memory card, 12v DC adapter for the car. Included Crash Bandicoot loaded inside. All for $30 Canadian! Was surprised with the quality of the LCD screen for something from the late 90's / early 2000's.

For any future journeys, it might be useful to carry a memory card with you for each console? Call it a useful tool pack (you could also have a screwdriver, laser cleaner, batteries/adaptors, etc.); or whatever else should you need them. Obviously you didn't know you might need these this time, but it's just a thought which might save any issues later?

funny story about the slim Psone. I found one at a thrift store! it was just sitting near the loose electronics area NOT behind glass! and I bought it for only $5!!! so that means I bought a fully working PS1 for an insane $5!! but it had no adaptor nor AV cables. so It had to share the ones from my PS2. including the controller.
