#5 Sony did say the PS5 would be more stable than previous PlayStation and that's why I have a PS5 but to be fair I have been a PlayStation user ever since the original, I had a Xbox one at one point but it just ended up as a plinth or stand for my PS4
@Jacob R I used to work for a company that shipped a lot and I was in charge of ordering shipping materials. The reason you got a box like that hazardous specimen box is because large corporations request boxes like that so companies like ups and fedex and even usps make custom boxes for them. However if the company stops ordering them, they end up having a surplus and give them away for free to get rid of them. I’ve ordered those before and shipped completely unrelated stuff in them before too. Some shipping materials are free but some aren’t. So if you can get a box of 1000 free boxes vs paying $1-$5 each for them, you bet we’re gonna order those instead lol. Not sure if it’s already been answered but that’s exactly why you got that box. Some company had them custom made then either stop buying them or stopped shipping.
I also forgot to add. Usually those boxes come in different sizes that aren’t the same as their flat rate boxes since they’re custom made, but may qualify for flat rate prices. It’s possible they found that those boxes fit more consoles better than the standard boxes and ordered them for that reason. There. Now you owe me a banana milkshake
@@racah1595it was most likely given to whoever shipped it when they walked into UPS with no packaging materials. Happens all the time usually never businesses doing this though. They must not get a ton of business
It could also be someone shipping from somewhere where it is common that people open mail, but a biological remains box would probably get ignored/passed withed getting opened
@@PeterHill-ye6kgI have 5 consoles for sale on my website right now. I sure am trying to steal business from dkoldies by showing off my favorite videos from 2023!
I was playing TF2 on Steam when I heard a familiar voice. It was Joey from Dkoldies! He was so flattered thst i recognized him that we started chatting. It was cool until he started asking me for pics of 'zapper' and saying he wanted to enter me...
I loved watching cable TV through windows media centre on my 360 as I had no coax in my room. Yes all before the digital switchover. I had a TV tuner on my XP PC, then Vista laptop, in the basement and used the wireless N adapter to send the signal to the console two floors up. It was not great. That is when I took my first stab at Ethernet powerline adapters and it worked Great.
Well considering it was their last console that actually sold well. They're only shutting down the 360 store, they're not removing 360 games sold in the Xbone/Series X/S store.
Amen. Microsoft are getting a lot of stick recently but let's be honest, of the Big Three they have the best commitment to backwards compatibility, followed by Nintendo... and we all know who's last place...
@@garydiamondguitaristi think microsoft even let modders make emulators in dev mode so you can play even ps games on xbox one and series x/s. Im not 100% sure tho
@@stefan5430 You are correct. Dev Mode allows you to install RetroArch and emulate several systems, so on a Series X you can play more PS2 games than a PS5 can, or ever will. Emulation quality is mostly pretty good.
NXE dashboard was my first dashboard also and it is my fav dashboard from the color scheme to the sounds to the layout it was all a great!! I wish xbox has a way where you can change your dashboard style to whatever you want!
As a UPS employee who works in the building I can say we offer customers whatever boxes are down at the clerk area for free if they don’t have one or don’t want to buy a box. We hardly see businesses coming in that don’t already have their packages packed and ready to go though. Bad business practices right there…..
5:26 Thank you for doing these videos Jacob, the used console market is so weird with all these different companies and drop shipping and auction sites etc. it’s really confusing and what you’re doing is actually providing a helpful consumer advice service. So thank you and keep up the good work. 😊
Yeah I think I have the same hardrive in my slim 360. When I got it, I didn't want to pay for the outrageous prices for a hardrive so I bought a hd case for 360 from aliexpress and put a larger drive in it. It has served me well and still perfect after all these years, knockoff looking ones may have quality hd inside.
I would love to see you send DK Oldies a care package of cleaning cloths, isopropyl alcohol, canned compressed air and dry paint brushes, and an accurate dictionary description of what "Refurbished" means printed out and at the top of the box when they open there package. Banana Milkshakes 🍌 🥛
I'm glad you enjoy! We've noticed the same - a lot of people are interested in the longer videos like this, so we'll definitely have more coming in the future!
Fun fact : back in December of 2005 youtube was running a competition and whoever won got a (xbox)360 along with their other competition for an iPod nano
I used to play the just cause 2 demo and the mafia 2 demo all the time,my dad would bring me demos on flash drives bc I didn’t have Xbox live to download it lol
58:04 no freakimg way. I noticed one of those music albums on this xbox 360 is Deadwing by Porcupine Tree. One of my favorite prog metal bands ever. Give this album a listen, especially the song Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Love how you are just like that’s not gonna do for the video I’m just laughing knowing dk oldies is gonna be like oh oh he’s trying to make us look bad he’s BS but love watching ur vids man
Your videos are so relaxing... checking those old consoles Wii PS3 and 360... I've wondering if you've done PSvita? i never saw one show up and they contain a lot of stuff
They may have cleaned it but cleaning it wont get the cigarette smoke smell out of it. The residue sticks to the board, shell, ect and once its been on there long enough the smell seeps into things and it wont come out. Especially if they smoked a lot or smoked with windows closed ect if thats all the system was pulling in then that smells going to be there for a while youd have to clean it with an ultrasonic cleaner a few times and honestly probably still wouldn't get the smell out because its seeped into the pores of everything on the system anything that is pours like the plastic cables/cable coverings its going to sit in it and once the system heats up youre going to smell the cigarette smell.
So XGC was a Xbox live clan. XGC stands for Xiled Gaming Company. I remember seeing gamer tags with XGC in them back in the days of Halo 2 through 4 multiplayer.
i remember the disc series lol. my fav was the playing games on a dvd player and the xbox disc was playing the intro and you thought it was gonna play.
i got into the xbox ecosystem in early 2022 (series s) and i bought black ops 2 on sale for like 15 and the fable games and a few others just to reminisce on games from the past
Those UN3373 packages usually have dry ice in it as well. Glad you had on some gloves because dry ice burns when it touches bare hands. Man, these vids make me scared to buy things on dkoldies and lukiegames
I am going to buy a 360 WiFi adapter, and download as many free demos as my 360's 20GB drive will hold before the marketplace shuts down. Its also good they're keeping the ability download your previous purchases, so when that 18-year-old HDD kicks the bucket (will probably happen in 2025 or 2026), i can get them back.

Just sold the walkman that pioneered psp microdiscs but never took off because it was too expensive to even produce albums for it. You have to find a blank disc and record with it before you can play music cool part is the tray even matches the psp.
