Japan’s shipping is absolutely crazy. Amazon Japan, from what I’ve heard, can often times get your item to you the same day you purchase it or the next day. Sendico getting you the items the day after you ordered is insane.
23:31 this is for sure NOT a case and point for digital. Digital would mean they shut the servers down and the game is no longer accessible or at least the final form of the game is no longer accessible. This is a case in point for game preservation, modding, emulation and FPGA.
I paused the video as soon as I herd that........The over adoption of Digital only has done WAY more harm then good, Paying full price for the RIGHT to have access to a game for as long as they seem fit, The Live service game model which is killing the industry as a whole, The greedy practices of delisting older games because its *no longer profitable* making said game not playable even to people who paid for it....and the latest with BS from nintendo and there blinded attacks on rom and emulators is just morally wrong. Imagine if you go to a car dealership and buy a new car....you drive it and keep it nice for 10 years...then out of nowhere the dealership owner show's up at your house and takes your keys and drives off with your car saying *I don't want you to own this car anymore* would that be legal?? NO so why do we allow this crap to happen with Game servers and digital games????
The way y'all roast each other on set there reminds me of how my co-workers and I do the same at our MicroCenter store. Too funny. It's a shame some of the consoles in this video are DoA, but maybe you could give em to Ken and have him fix them? DON'T BREAK IT LIKE YOU DID THE PSX, Ken! lmao. Great video!

Yeah sadly it was a flop and a half... The SNES/upcoming N64 (at that point codenamed Ultra64)/PS1/Sega Saturn and other consoles that came out in 1994ish era had way more financial backing and support than the Pippin did... I would love to have one. I wonder what mods are out there for it, like maybe a disc-less mod... i.e. an ODE (Optical Disc Emulator)
@@StSparky What is, the Pippin? The Quadra 610 was a 68k Mac (a 68040 @ 20 or 25 MHz to be more exact). Yes you could PPC upgrade it, but I doubt Apple would have done that...

16:30 The 3DO actually had quite a few decent games for it---the problem is that almost every good game on the 3DO got a PlayStation port a few years later. These days, collecting for the 3DO is paying a lot of money for games that are cheaper on a more common system. In fact, the 3DO had very similar specs to the PlayStation. The problem is that it came out two years earlier and those specs cost 3x as much because of that.
Pretty much the only killer app I remember is that it got the then-only port of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo which even when Playstation got it it wasn't nearly as good (and fun fact it was so off that when the largest fighting game tournament of all time, EVO, wanted to use the Playstation version one year, a lot of top players just... refused to enter the tournament that year)
Bought soulsilver with the pokewalker and everything, that boi came pristine like it’s new. Japanese really takes care of their stuff, probably gonna buy all the pokemon games through sendico now
Idk if all your videos are like this, but I love the whole trying to do a video and your two buddies are on the couch clowning you setup lmao keep it up!
The PS2 power supply is auto ranging, the supply should work on US power as long as you use the right cord, I have one that I bought in Japan when I was there and they just came out and it still works perfect.
About a couple months ago, I came across a spice orange game cube on eBay, it was just the GameCube by itself with no power cords or anything. It was from a seller in Japan and they had also installed it with a region switch mod. Best thing about it $80 with $20 shipping. Best purchase I ever did since data showed that the spice orange gamecube essentially by itself I believe it’s like $200 loose
the apple pippin used a mostly standard 4X CD-ROM drive with a SCSI interface, an internal eject button controlled by the console, and set to SCSI ID #3. If it's not working, the problem is likely just the rubber belt inside has degraded. You can easily disassemble and replace the belt.
On the red PS3 part: Knowing how to use sarcasm but not knowing how to detect when it's used back is the most on brand, nerdy personality trait I've ever seen on this channel.
Yeap. It's so hard to play on the modern hardware!!! I've even had a "Collectors edition". Don't know,where is it now,but the book with it was sooooo cool.
Wikipedia is wrong. I have an Indigo Game Boy Player for my GameCube. Bought them both in South Carolina USA. Still have them both. Even the cardboard sleeve for the GB Player
The 64DD is probably the only obscure console I've owned that I actually have used a lot (and also the only one I haven't sold). The F-Zero X Expansion Kit is really really good.
That red PS3 Slim isn't Japan-exclusive. I have one as a 3004 model (European). Looks really cool and I got it for quite cheap, because I bought it in parts. I don't know why the previous owner took it apart, but he couldn't get it back together again. There's also a blue model, that I still want. Oh, and on the 3DO they should have gone with one of the best two games ever released: "Plumbers don't wear Ties" or "Night Trap".
Check out games like "Captain Quazar", "PO'd" and especially "Soccer Kid" for 3DO. It's definitely worth it. Soccer kid is a great side scrolling game. Tough too.
I have the exact same 3DO console, but mine was made by Goldstar. From what I heard, the Panasonic controller sucked. My top picks for 3DO would be BC Racers, Road Rash, SamSho, Space Hulk, and Quarantine. These are the games that I still have in my collection and occasionally bust out the system to play.
I had a Panasonic 3DO. They used to have it at Burdines in the mall. I bought it so cheap when they were going out of business they practically gave it away. And then I sold it for $300 a decade later 😂 very few good games..
I had a 3DO back in the day, it was an awesome console for the time, used to play Super Street Fighter 2 a lot on my 3DO, the controllers are good too =D
The GameCube is super easy to convert to US region, you just need to jump a couple of contacts. You can even install a switch to swap it back and fourth.
I didn't know how to calculate it, but I wanted to figure out how much the loan would actually be. Chat GPT says it'd be a total of $97,532.03 after the 96 month term
iirc you don't need a stepdown converter for the PS2, they use 100v in west japan, and 110 in east japan, and the majority of electronics are made with those tolerances in mind; the US uses 120v which is working within the tolerance zone for the transformer inside the PS2. If you're european and using 240v then that's gonna cause issues, but you don't need one for the US.
You know Austin there are specialist console repair people. There are also specialists soldering people on TH-cam like actually hardcore overclocking who might help you
The 3DO was amazing. Way too expensive, though. I actually got one but then returned it to get a Playstation. It's got the best Need for Speed, Madden, and Road Rash on any console.
Steam deck plays 3ds perfectly after some set up. Just 1 extra button to swap screens back and forth for bottom and top. I just played through Ultra Moon again.
Austin, That blue PS2 may have being a Lottery version. Also IF it doesn't work. Find someone to transplant a US version into it. IF that can be done or if your bothered to do it.
20:56 1. There’s a version of the Pippin built into a treadmill; it’s basically a Quadra 610. 2. My college age kid is completely bilingual & Wifey is Japanese … one day we’ll rescue our PSX from my mother in law’s …
PS3 slims are actually not as reliable as you might think. The wifi/bt module can just stop working and you'll need to desolder the whole module or the chip and a small voltage regulator. The most reliable ones are actually PS3 fat consoles, cechj model and onwards.

Hey dude random question hope you see this. I was wondering if you would do a mystery guitar/ guitar tech episode. I recently lost everything i own in a flood. I saved my family of course but lost 30 years worth of gear if you could help me out a little. Or just give me some ideas 😂

“Clutch?” No cap bro.

I would not be surprised if Austin makes a museum of old consoles.
“He said that so confidently and so wrong”

dude that 3do is so worth it. had one as a teenager. Wing Commander 3 is still in my top 5 games

Ken being SAVAGE that day. We need more of that.

Did Austin flip the power switch on on the back of the PS2? LOL Seems like something he would forget
Thats what I was wondering also.
i love how austin said "idk what that is" but its literally english written with katakana 19:40

Austin reminds me so much of Josh from Mythical Kitchen. Not that they look alike, really, just very similar personalities
I loved the 3do! Awesome console! Road rash on it was incredible!
Austin has a company and a youtube channel to justify his addiction as business expenses
Ok I wasn’t the only thing one thinking this. It’s very apparent people are annoyed with his purchases.

Road Rash on the 3DO was epic
If the TH-cam thing ever goes south they can start a museum.
the 3DO looks stunning
Anyone else think Austin should be made to fix as many of those ps2's as possible?? 🤔🤔😂
another post by my goat
I used to play on a Panasonic 3do console at a movie and game rental place in Maine around 1993-1994
This site sounds cool but the issue is the region locked. I would go after that link ps2 so fast but would need Japan games for it
My father in law has a 3do he got when brand new, pretty cool piece of tech
Austin, when it takes 5 mins to go 54 secs, we refer to that as "Microsoft time" no matter what piece of equipment you use.
i use to rent a 3DO from home vision back in 94/95 for $5 for the whole weekend man the good ole days.
That Blue PS2 is cool!!
You can buy the outer shell from the charizard 3ds xl, I have modded one and bought it
PS3 slims are actually not as reliable as you might think. The wifi/bt module can just stop working and you'll need to desolder the whole module or the chip and a small voltage regulator. The most reliable ones are actually PS3 fat consoles, cechj model and onwards.
This is awesome 😁
I bought a "New 3DS XL" from Japan. Yes the LL model. I had to nearly brick the damn thing to put it into English. When the PS Vita is an easy toggle to English.
The 3DS is region locked too. So you'll need to hack it to play non Japanese games.
One rare console that might would of been interesting to get was the Hello Kitty Sega Dreamcast complete with mouse and keyboard.
