i paused the video at the Mass Effect 3 48hr Gold Trial and the Halo 3 48hr Gold Trial and punched them in and they still worked! 4 days free, LETS GO! THANK YOU JACOB R!
@@OlthebollNo joke, i just ran out of Gold the other day and just said F-It and tried it and they worked lol. The MW3 one was used, i tried that as well.
Imagine its 2007…its Friday, you just got off work, you are driving home…you see a blockbuster and a pizza hut, you decide why not and you stop at pizza hut and order a nice cheesewheel for yourself with some wings, then you head over to blockbuster while waiting for your food, browse, grab a couple games and a movie maybe some snacks if you are feeling it, then you head over grab your food and get home, fire up your PS3/Xbox360 and enjoy your weekend. Gone but not forgotten are those good days
Hastings used to sell their ex-rental games and movies with those stickers on the disc hub so those were old rental games . They constantly had good bulk deals on their used media . I never bought games there much , but I'd get stacks of expensive foreign films and Criterions and stuff . It was a fun store while it lasted , it had a coffee shop inside , sold books and pop culture type items of all kinds . Our old Hastings is now a retro video game store so it's all good .
The console sounds take me right back to the Christmas my parents got me this to replace my Halo 3 360. Having the different sounds wowed me so much back then. Today it feels like the beginning of the end of that era of gaming...
It truly is man. I still remember all this stuff. Specially after the wii u and 3ds eshops closing down, and now the xbox stores closing down. It is the definition of the end of an era. I think that blockbuster ending spelled the end of the late 2000's for me.
Hastings is / was like a Blockbuster & spencers gifts put together essentially. They had movies, videogames, books, comics & toys, pop culture stuff etc... ! I had so many memories there growing up, but sadly it's been closed down 😢
Not a lot of people remember Hastings but it was great place that sold books, vinyls, clothes trinkets & a assortment of videogames. I remember going there with a friend in high school. I was sad when it closed up.
I would see if the guy who sold it to you wants the birthday card back, thats something I don't think I would be willing to part with, those are special to me
Note that the JuggaloJames07 account is a entire reference to ICP (Insane Clown Posse), the fans are called "Juggalo's" and wear clown makeup hence the camo makeup on the avatar and the bio is a reference to a song that ICP made called The Amazing Maze but the lyrics in the bio are not 100% correct
Bro btw, hastings was basically blockbuster that also sold games, books, posters and my former local hastings even had a small whole foods type store attached. It suffered the same fate blockbuster did, closing down for good in 2016.
hastings used to be a store that was kind of like a less edgy hot topic, had games, movies, music could rent or buy, had a bunch of used stuff you could buy too, they went out of business around the time the dude bought the first game. they was located around west texas and new mexico.
Hastings was my store. I bought so many games there. I got quite a few figures and shirts there as well. It made me mad though when they took the GameStop approach of opening new games and selling them as new when clearly they weren't anymore. I still have my renters card from Hastings, I miss that store.
@@bigdiggle5036 The whole company shut down in 2016 because the company executives drove the company into bankruptcy wasting company money on themselves. Which sucked cause my store in Tennessee was thriving and everyone was scratching their heads as to why the store was closing, then of course it was revealed why.
There is a very rare phat PS2. It has 4 controller ports with 4 memory card slots. It would be amazing to see that featured on the channel. It's rare enough I bring it up and no ones heard of it.
I remember finding the controller and then a used one at my local swap meet for 10 bucks each and both still ran 👌 I have it aside for when I need to replace my current one also have a white glossy one, matte, r2d2 and a black glossy, I love collecting the slim model since it was my first real console other than an sp
We used to have a Hastings, they did rent out games. It was great before they shut down, was a great place to rent games and movies and have some coffee while hanging out. They had other things as well, but movies, games and coffee was all I cared about.
Hastings was a chain store that rent and sold video games, movies, music albums, and books. It was my go to place throughout my life. All the stores closed down in 2017. I still miss that place.
I went to my local game store in 2019, picked up that same 360 for $70. Funny enough it came with a mw3 controller instad. got it RGH'd last Decemeber and haven't looked back. I am in my senior year of college and my roomates and I have being playing the hell out it.
I started saving receipts recently. I went to my grandparents house and inherited a PS1 that belonged to my Uncle. The receipt was from a local shop that doesn't exist anymore but i pass by it everyday on my morning commute. Fun piece of history 🔥
seeing people usually don't 100% games it surprises me after having watched a lot of these unboxing videos because as for me i always 100% games and try to get the platinum trophy for that game
This is my main Xbox 360 playing console. 360 Slims seem to be the best way to collect different editions -- right next to the silver one, I have a non-working Halo 4 that's just for ornamentation. I also got hold of one of those blue Es with the aqua endplates. I didn't realise that one was also rare. It was part of my '360 in every room' project: the 360 is the Goldilocks point of 'easy to boot up and play immediately', 'fun shooty uncomplicated stuff' and 'graphics that don't suck'.
Hastings was FANTASTIC. They had one in the town where I went to college. It was like a Best Buy meets K-Mart meets Barnes & Noble meets Starbucks. It was great
That first Xbox man… looks like the guy switched to PS4 when the next gen consoles, games last played were in 2013 to that adds up. It’s crazy that account will just be untouched probably forever now
Hastings use to be in the midwest. I live in Nebraska and there use to be Hastings everywhere but most of them closed down probably 10 years ago. It was a good store if you wanted anything with video games, music, books, etc. I remember you could even rent consoles there too as well as games
I’m happy I was not the only one who did the receipt in the case thing. Always did that because back in the day you could return a game after playing it for more than 2 hours if you didn’t like it
Hastings was a video store rental place that sold games, books, movies and collective nerdy stuff but it went under in like 16 or 17 idk if it's only in texas but that where they had some
Man watching these videos makes me wanna do this myself, so many surprises and goodies inside of those gamecases. The happy birthday card is heart warming too lmao
Hastings! 💔 so many memories and so much money spent at that store back in the day! Yeah its definitely a Midwest thing, it was a game/music/movies/comics/etc superstore. It was so great
RIP to Hastings. Had one nearby in Auburn Alabama where I lived and it had everything you wanted. If you wanted a movie no matter how hard to find they had it and cheap. Same with games. You are missed everyday Hastings. No stores like you anymore
Ooh! It looks to me like they basically sold their entire Xbox 360 collection! I can only imagine if I were to sell my console and pack it in a box like that with all of the game cases in there, put in properly, but then the packing materials get ripped out along the way for some reason and then they're all jostled about, resulting in something like at 0:17 into the video. (Edit: changed 'stuffing' to 'packing materials' as that made more sense)
That Halo Reach Edition Xbox 360 Slim looks pretty nice as hell. I just love seeing old video games with the receipts still in them, it makes it feel nostalgic. You should buy the Halo 4 Edition Xbox 360 Slim.
I always loved how that console looked, I just had the matte black slim which I still loved but that silver looks so clean, and the controllers are great
that picture that you pulled out of the gears of war game represents one of the saddest moments in gaming history. i hope someday you get to play through gears 1 2 and 3
when you booted up the console and pressed the eject button man so much nostalgia because my uncle had one of these xbox 360s was hoping this would of been his which what would of been the odds XD but im also looking to get one of these 360s. also love the videos keep it up J
It was movies, music, games, books, and other things. Literally everything you'd ever be interested in. There was a little cafe inside that you could sit and grab a book from a shelf and read at. They hosted the pokemon league there for a couple of years and I went every tuesday. They used to rent movies and games out, thats what the stickers are for. They had all the cool toys and novelties, the best comic section, music you couldnt find anywhere else, movies you couldnt find anywhere else. I have a 2 page ad in my lock box that has the ps2 and gamecube in it from hastings. I miss that place so much.
hastings doesn't exist anymore it used to be like the jack of all trades things, but like gamestop too it had better prices and super fast shipping, I miss it
They were glorious, basically a Movie Trading Company with music, records, shirts like Hot Topic, pop culture toys and collectibles and you rent movies just like Blockbuster. I grew up outside of Houston so we never had one close since they usually were in small towns but you were hella lucky if you had one in yours.
Bulletstorm is an awesome game. especially if you have the Full Clip Edition with the Duke Nukem tour which changes the Main character into Duke Nukem. Fully voiced with new voice lines by the original voice actor for Duke. You can then play through the campaign as Duke Nukem, who is obviously pretty confused as to why he is suddenly in this game, and everyone calling him by the original characters name.
10:10 my original xbox 360 pro from when i was like 11 years old, still has that gears of war sticker on it. planning on finding a controller somewhere and seeing if i can get it playing games again. really miss playing skate 3
Hastings was rad. You could rent movies and games and they would sell used rentals. They sold books, cds, action figures, and other geek type stuff. Sucked when they went bankrupt

Hastings was a store in idaho it's closed now but u could rent Games videos they had books and u could sell games consoles super cool place and they had books and music
This owner left quite the collection behind! Let me know what your favorite part is

I feel you 💯
Yessir, this world sucks now. The greed level is insane
At least they still do the three pizzas deal every Christmas at Pizza Hut.
At least all y'all still have Pizza Huts. Ours closed last year.@@3ofSpades
Haha, nobody owned a PS3 in 2007.
if you didn't notice, the first account you looked at played Halo 2 (PC) and had achievements from that, which is pretty crazy 5:25
Funny to see that there is more people like me that saves all the receipts in the cases 😄
Same haha. I always keep the receipts in the case
all of my games and consoles have the receipt left in its box! Even my OG Psvita and PSTV.

I bought Mortal Kombat for the genesis years ago from GameStop. Still had original receipt in the case.

@@tinystar3010 I missed out on that as well . I didn't even know that they were going out of business till it was over .
My old hastings is a harbor freight now. 😢
I miss Hastings. It was basically a tornado of stuff that you really never knew what they had until you browsed, so it was always an adventure.
I have this same Halo Reach 360, man those power and eject button noises are nostalgic for me
Same I have that console in my room

Hastings started in my city of Amarillo back in the late 60's
Not a lot of people remember Hastings but it was great place that sold books, vinyls, clothes trinkets & a assortment of videogames. I remember going there with a friend in high school. I was sad when it closed up.

My first console, still have it to this day. What an amazing piece of technology.

Hastings was amazing we had them here in Texas. Almost like a Suncoast mixed with a Spencers later on in the mid 2000s
Hastings was a movie, game rental chain, we had them in Texas.
im glad he appreciates blockbuster stickers and lil bits
Aw I miss hastings! It was a really cool store that closed nationwide in 2016. Great vid!
never played halo reach? you gatta try it, its hands down one of the best Halo's. loads of fun and truly bungie in its prime
those gears of war 3 stickers are actually really rare and im really jealous
I still have the star wars model.
That micro USB im pretty sure was for the wireless Halo Reach headset

Imagine if you still used those accounts then all of a sudden you get a message your already signed in with another device

love your vids man, i am excited for the next hampton haul episode tomorrow and would love to be featured in a video sometime
Juggalo James 😂 dudes an ICP fan
11:50 YOU SAID what? uughh,... so what games you like to play?
Lesson in this video is go through your things before packing it up and getting rid of them
Bruv, you’ve never played Halo Reach or Gears of War 2? Those are some goat games that you should get to immediately.
Hastings is basically a knock off Barnes and Nobles, we had 1 in Arkansas but haven’t seen any in North Dakota yet
I had the Green halo edition console one of my favorites of all time.
Hastings was rad. You could rent movies and games and they would sell used rentals. They sold books, cds, action figures, and other geek type stuff. Sucked when they went bankrupt
YOO this dude with this Xbox played SR2 the BEST SR
Its interesting how a lot of people with ps3s factory reset them and people with 360s dont
Hastings was a cool game rental and store that stocked a bunch of other stuff as well. It went bankrupt and had to close their stores though unfortunately
just casually whippin out a bar code reader machine, like who even has that thing
Cleanest Xbox 360 s. Halo reach had the most premium 360 skin
Loved Hastings was a great place for books/games/video games.
The gears of war 3: Xbox 360 is what you should do next
If you mix a gamestop that sells retro games as well as new ones including consoles and nerd paraphernalia with spencer's You'll get hastings
Hastings was a store in idaho it's closed now but u could rent Games videos they had books and u could sell games consoles super cool place and they had books and music
Nice to see that ICP profile.
Every time I’ve bought a used game that still had dlc codes in it they were all still valid so I used them!😊
I miss Hastings. I loved that store.
I keep every receipt to every game I buy in with the booklets of the game too lol.
Crazy to think that people played that a decade ago.
11:37 I love this game
Ive been watching this guys since i was like 9 i love his videos bro i watch every single one
Your videos are always wholesome
