Yeah I'd stick with eBay for something like a used video game console. At least there, any legitimate listing will have real photos of the actual device and accessories you're buying

"Your son was about to be born, and you were playing _Pokemon?"_

That was my favorite line in this video.

It's amazing how expensive retro gaming has become. I remember being able to walk into my local retro game store and buy a Dreamcast for $50 and its games were the same price as when they were new or less. Now the console by itself is double that. You can't even find a Game Boy Advance for less than the price of new modern games unless you look really hard. Aside from other personal reasons, I haven't gotten many retro games in the past few years because it's just become so expensive.

Yup third party sellers from walmart are awful ! Make sure you check who is selling it before you purchase !

Yeah that's a reshell. I own the blue DS and firstly, the color of blue on a genuine one is darker and almost sparkly, and then the bottom and insides are matte black. Not to mention you can see the poor quality of the shell when the light hits it, so most definitely a reshell, but not the worst since atleast the buttons arent off center and printed at 1800s quality

About the japanese labels on these consoles, I noticed a lot of 3rd party replacements for these stickers, especially for Nintendo consoles, have a Japanese option. Maybe thats what these are, the original sticker faded and they bought 3rd party replacements.

Austin when he puts the box on the table .Easy EaSy eaSy eAsy!!

As soon as I read Walmart, I knew their claims were bs and I was right. It’s not Walmart’s fault though, third party sellers from places like Walmart are terrible and a serious hit or miss situation.

Never knew about the Wii mini. Actually looked pretty cool. Nice aesthetic

[spanishfreaks]

Austin, the reason people are buying more Xbox 360s is because the modding is awesome. There are so many games that aren't backwards compatible on X1 or newer consoles and they can essentially all be run on a modded 360. Potentially also could be run on a modded XB1 but for many that's still a primary console and the modding can cause bans fairly easily on the newer consoles.

What's funny is that the third party Wiimote seems to be pretty good because the speaker is just as bad as the official one and the cursor flicking on screen also happens with official Wiimotes if the sensor bar isn't placed appropriately.

Austin almost had a heart attack after that😂

[AnimeKing]

I like how you say return to phisical stores that's not the case for items that are not shipped and sold by Walmart. Items not shipped and sold by Walmart can't be returned at a physical Walmart store and has to be returned back to the third party seller. I work for Walmart and i have to deal with that.

Try the PS2 while it is laying down. My old PS2 like that no longer reads discs while it is in the upright position but works just fine while laying down.

[TristerTwister]

So we’re just not gonna talk about Austin playing DS in the middle of his wife in labor 😂

[loustandards]

I love to see a new Austin video! Fun and informative, with a few surprises along the way. Truly happy with this cast as well. Just these people and no more. A+++

[bitnation]

The fake accessories and the high price tag makes this off putting. Most if not all of these came with fake controllers, psu’s etc. The discs drives in the PS2’s are a joke, they’re just not as well built as the ones in other consoles. Disc Read Error. Best thing to do is to clean that laser with a qtip dipped in isopropyl alcohol. And then just switch to using a harddrive with OPL.

[crosenblum]

The hat gimmick was really funny, and yes I am still playing on my Xbox 360, very hard to find controllers or their battery packs.

@3:32 you can see it is actually sold by Marie’s Market. Which is NOT Walmart, it is 3rd party. Also again @3:36 the nintendo DSi Lite was also sold by Marie’s Market.

- The wii @6:58, The Atari 2600 @10:39, The Nintendo 64 @12:31, The xbox 360 @14:07, and The PS2 @15:34 were all sold by Itembazaar (A 3rd party seller) And not walmart directly

I remember playing the Atari 2600 before the NES was popular. Even now, it's a fun system to dig out when you have some friends over.
