hey guys this is austin and we just
bought every console from gamestop
and it only cost us
1 283 dude what do they pack these
things with
so shall we begin with the oldest which
was our dsi
and it cost us 49.99
i didn't realize it was going to be pink
but that's fine
next we have our 3ds xl which was a
pretty hefty 100
okay well screens are a little dirty i
think we could clean that up now the
switch was actually probably the worst
deal we got here this was 280 dollars
well technically the msrp on all
switches is still 300
however of course you've got the switch
light at 200 bucks and the fact that the
red box switch which we did do a full
video on
is got so much more battery life for
again 300 means that there's zero
zero chance that this is going to be
worth it even if it's completely perfect
you know what this switch has a screen
protector moving back a few years we
have our wii u which is a hundred and
ten dollars that's not in great shape
there's a lot of scratch on that screen
okay i mean that's that's not good
moving on we have the og we which is a
cool seventy dollars so this is the
later model we that does not support the
gamecube
we should have checked for that that
kind of sucks i mean that was one of my
favorite parts of the week is that you
actually could so easily play those
gamecube games well
so much for our super cool wii next up
we have our 100
playstation 3. now i believe that this
is the 80 gig
slim model oh never mind
this is the fat ps3 next up we have the
ps4 which costs a whopping 220 dollars
we have
easy access to the hard drive still next
let's get into some xboxes shall we so
apparently we bought a four gig
xbox 360 slim for 69.99 so as you can
very clearly see
no hard drive i actually wonder how much
do you think a 360 hard drive would cost
these days
probably not that bad huh at 160 dollars
we have the original xbox one
we've got a day one controller here
that's
pretty cool so this is a launch launch
xbox one
the first thing i'll say about this and
i don't know
what's going on here this is all matte
like the entire console there's no
glossy plastic right here there's no
glossy plastic here
is this is this a d brand so let's put
these consoles to the test
now starting out with we have the xbox
360. now like i mentioned earlier
you do have to keep in mind that with a
four gig console some games won't work
however rise of the tomb raider
shouldn't require any kind of install
there we go all right i mean seems fine
to me all right
so the real question here is did we get
a good deal i'm almost positive that is
not the case
so this was 70 i believe right now if we
jump on
ebay here 35 buy it now free shipping or
40
with a 250 gig hard drive yeah we got
ripped
next up let's give our day one xbox one
a try
so i'm gonna throw a disc in here this
is a titanfall 2 because it's the only
xbox one disk i have oh do you have
noise
wait this disk drive works right it's
not showing any games
okay well um
not looking too hot for the xbox one how
much do we pay for this thing
160 dollars what is uh what's this gonna
run on ebay
134 for a s model which is much nicer
than this we get an original for 120
thumbs down hard thumbs down on the xbox
one yikes
i can't believe the disk drive doesn't
work now it's time to take a look at our
playstations and first up is our fat ps3
now these are not the most reliable
consoles in the world
but if you're able to get one in decent
condition and especially considering
that this does have the backwards
compatibility
i mean yeah you gotta hope you get lucky
oh what oh it just died whoa
what wow i got into the game for two
seconds
wow what does the blinking red light
mean it's just
overheating oh dude are you serious
the system will restart check the file
system and restore it if it is corrupted
if the file system is corrupt it will
take
two or three hours to complete this is
not a great
first experience
there we go oh oh dude
it down okay okay that's not gonna work
at all it literally
that was like even less time than last
time yeah great
so theoretically i can open this thing
up and find out what's going on but
realistically
if someone buys this i mean you're not
gonna be happy you spent
how much did we buy at this thing before
again a hundred dollars on ebay i'm
seeing it for a hundred 125 dollars
um there are a few that are bid up to
140 150
this actually is a pretty good deal this
is the weird word because if
we're able to get this fixed if we're
able to keep it from overheating
we actually saved money by buying it at
gamestop but this is a huge risk i mean
i don't know if you remember but they
said that we were getting a slim and
they gave us a
fat so i don't even know if we were
necessarily supposed to get this
specific model
uh ps3s we have um 80 gigs
160 320 250 gigs okay and those are all
the slim models right
yes let's see how the ps4 goes the odds
right now are that this ps4 is probably
broken too
no it's fine i'm sure it's fine
i can't put the game in right now shove
it in
what is wrong with these i don't even
care if this works right now i think it
just ate my disc
we have a disc light though oh
boy these are all the consoles exactly
the way they come we haven't done
anything to these
what is going on i don't actually know
if this disc is going to work anymore
just help it take it out of its mystery
okay
verdict what do you think it could be
scratched
oh what's that look
oh what did let me try to clean this up
and get it back in
oh immediately works the disc wasn't
that dirty before
it definitely was not that dirty it's
doing something so actually come take a
look
do you see now that i look at it a
little closer you see a little white
speck here there's actually like some
dirt or some grime or whatever on the
side of the little like the loading
bay i bet that the actual disk drive is
just a little bit like
dirt or something on there and as it's
pulling the disc in it was rubbing that
dirt across the disk
and spinning it and it smeared it all
over the bottom that's why i was able to
wipe it off and it worked
great whatever's on the front is now all
over the inside
oh you're right all that just got pulled
in
all right next up we have the nintendo
switch now we've already been over this
is a poor value at only 30
less than a brand new red box switch
there's no way this makes sense although
what does the original switch go for ah
we're looking at probably about 240
250 generally speaking that's not
bad okay so i mean touchscreen seems
fine
do you think wait doesn't the newer
pokemon games have like some uh
censoring so you can't
name your rival like certain words oh
it's a dick pack
excellent look i'm still six okay it's
fine next step we've got the wii u
now hopefully this is just paired i'm
gonna use the wii u on a one
well we can't play gamestop on that can
we it's fine here's the test is this
disk drive functional
oh look at that smooth simple
clean 720p
still no nipples still no nipples so
we spent 110 on this wii u which i think
is a predecent deal
and yes it is so taking a look at ebay
for example there's a lot of
110 to 120. now this is actually
probably the best console we picked up
it's not in the greatest cosmetic shape
but that's actually a completely
reasonable price
okay we have an a functioning wii so
obviously this is not the wii that you
want you will most likely want the one
with gamecube compatibility however
let's see if we can actually play a game
what what wii games do we have oh yeah
we bought the stupid star wars game
stupid star wars come on it's a star
wars game for the wii it's not gonna be
good
yeah yeah there we go this is how you're
supposed to use the wii
who said the wii wasn't any fun
oh this is great so the wii cost us
69 nice 45 bucks will get us
a fully functioning original wii which
again has gamecube compatibility
much better than this one shall we get
into the portable consoles now
yeah all right so let's start with the
nintendo dsi in this excellent shade of
pink now i actually really like the dsi
this was definitely my favorite of the
ds consoles
and i happen to have the greatest
pokemon game of all time to try
heartgold sorry you could play in 10
dogs later
why do i have a charmander what how do i
have a charmander so we paid
50 for this dsi which i think
might not be the worst deal in the world
oh wait i lied
i just found a 26 pink dsi on ebay oh
all right not that bad of a deal let's
try the 3ds
because that one was actually properly
expensive oh yeah
no that's totally fine okay i think it
is safe to say that our 3ds works
now uh this was expensive i think it was
actually quite expensive
at a whopping 99.99
70 80 bucks i mean it's definitely not a
good deal but that's actually not
totally crazy so we've learned a lot
today but the last and most important
test
is still to come what happens when we
bring these consoles back to gamestop
and trade them in although now that most
of them are not working we're probably
not going to come out particularly well
on this one
it's actually kind of funny because when
we first went to gamestop to try to buy
all of these consoles
they didn't even want to sell it to us i
guess they found us suspicious
so for a person this size yeah i just
contacted my
store leader yeah and we can't do it as
a right now
because i need the district leader's
approval and everyone's on conference
right now in nashville
i mean to be fair we've waited two weeks
so that we're outside of the return
policy purely because we're not trying
to scam game stuff we literally want to
sell them these consoles yeah
we're basically giving them free money
which they need because well
time's ticking they're they're not going
to last that long
ken savage i'm not wrong
all right so we have successfully sold
all but one of our consoles back to
gamestop
so the only one they didn't take was the
ps3 and weirdly enough it wasn't even
for the issue we had it was because they
said that what the
hdmi port was i was corroded and i could
visibly see it so this seems like a lot
of money right
well shall we uh see exactly what we
were able to get 341
342 343 344 345
346 347 348 and our grand total
is 349 after we spent
1283 purchasing the consoles what's the
moral of the story for this video
i'm not quite sure besides we make very
poor investment decisions yeah
we're not going to survive either
gamestop's gonna have to rescue us next
not if they're dead
