If you work at Dk Oldies fixing and cleaning game consoles inside and out might be an alternative. I must help you with this job suggestion so you can make all customers happy and honest.
It's crazy that DKO is still in business. What's even more insane is that there are actually DKO glazers out there. They're absolute brainlettes, but they exist.
@@One-12937 They don't watch any reviews like this which would actually help inform them when they go to buy something, but they _do_ watch DKO's shorts and videos and think they found retro game heaven.
This isn't considered a scam. They do have a warranty and return policy that they do honor and they honor it pretty well. There is definitely things they could have done better here. Confirmed the correct console being shipped for 1, and a better job packing it to make sure it is protected. This does not fall under being a scam and the term gets thrown around way too much.
@@Chiro_Cody horrible shipping and packaging methods. They have to steer away from bubble wrap and go with inserts whether it be styrofoam or foam material
Possibly. He would need to do the video reset procedure first to make sure that isn’t the issue. You’d be surprised how many that solves. But- it is a back compat ps3 so it ain’t a good sign it won’t turn on lol
@adamthiry868 ture, but considering the system froze ods are it's GLOD plus the system would prompt to switch to HDMI around a minute of being powered on
I work for a delivery company similar to FedEx. Companies are held responsible for the content inside the package if it isn’t packaged properly. That ps3 should have been able to fall 6ft without any damage. Shame on them
Yeah the packaging was very poor here. Stuffing a backwards compatible ps3 and a ps4 in the same small box with just a couple pieces of bubble wrap was a bold move lol. Nothing even around the console corners.
What makes it even worse is it’s Christmas Eve technically or almost Christmas Day and I even played a ps3 that I had in my garage for years and bad looking ps3 that I bought and they both work which makes this even more embarrassing for dkoldies
To be fair-it’s entirely possible it worked just fine when shipped. And just got destroyed in shipping. Obviously they are somewhat at fault for not wrapping it all the way
i still find it funny how i live 30 minutes from DKoldies in morgantown PA. theyre not even a store you can go in and see the products for yourself. its a warehouse and its basically tinted windows too so you cant see in. morgantown PA is a small passover town so makes sense why a shady company would be in a meh town. only thing to do in morgantown is the classic automall and the casino. other than that, hit the interstate and drive past it.
I'll be heading straight back to DKOldies and be like "what the hell is this?" Your selling a PS3 near $500 and this is what you give me?🤔 Unless proven otherwise, this company is very sketchy. I'm glad that, I'm a UK personel and have better shops to buy mixed grade items that are far cheaper and better conditions overall. If and only if, DKOldies came to the UK, i wouldnt touch it with a 10foot barge-poll.
I dunno why anyone buys from them... They've always been overpriced, not even considering all the other stuff. Taking the time and manpower to actually refurbish these consoles properly would cut into their profits... All about them sweet, sweet profits! 📈📈
Unfortunately the cost to have proper restoration work done would probably make them even more expensive if they wanted to make a profit on each console.
@JackMoynihanOfficial All they really need to do is test & do some basic cleaning on them. People would buy them anyway. The problem is them claiming that they are selling refurbs in the first place, which is dishonest and completely unnecessary to begin with. Ppl would buy them regardless if they know that the systems have been fully tested & cleaned.
Tbh, the PS3 damage was probably shippers fault for dropping it, but should of been packed a little better, and the other two consoles from just looks didn't look too bad, so possibility of them getting better or maybe coincidence?
I mean to be fair, $500 is a fair price for a good condition A01 backwards compatible ps3 that is fully refurbished and delidded. But of course that’s not what I got
I got lucky last week and got mine for 25 bucks some lady was selling her son's original PS3 since he went to college I'm picking up a 360 elite this Thursday of her too its got one of those old 360 skins on it of the Texas Tech Raider not a fan of sports anymore but it looks interesting enough to keep it like that.
@@jrob0021I think all the black Xbox 360 Classic ones were jasper boards and your right there wasn't a 60gb 360 Elite they had a matching black 120gb drive.
Green light of death happens a lot after damage dropped or shipping most times you can’t fix because it lifts the cell from the board damaged traces under the chip
I refurbish/repair video game consoles as a side hustle, and about six months ago purchased an N64 from DK oldies, and I was actually pleasantly surprised with the quality of it. When I opened it up, it was basically pristine on the inside aside from a few scuffs on the inner plastic.
Great timing. I just released my video too. And used a little of your footage to show the issues. This is WILD. I'm not even a gaming channel but I was OFFENDED because they are STILL sending junk
My friend bought from them 1: over priced 2: games were scratched and the case was yellow and nasty looking 3: the console would make weird noises, we opened it and it had dead roaches 😂
The E01 model PS3 is only partial software emulation. It still has the real PS2 GPU on the motherboard but not the CPU (which is emulated by the PS3's Cell CPU). As for PS1 games, they're 100% software emulation on all PS3 models since even the backwards compatible PS3s lack the PS1 chips that the PS2 had for accurate PS1 backwards compatibility.
Am not surprised bout the Plastic damage w that crappy packaging... Nothing but a single layer of Bubblewrap & consoles sitting on top of each other.... Terrible packing job from what's supposed to be a "professional' company...
You should do a video in the UK you'll be able to get a PS3 for between 50 to 80 British pounds instead of getting a broken PS3 for just shy of 500 bucks
i had bought a ps3 slim from them around a year ago by now, and it also looked like they dropped it on the floor. Course, not as nearly as bad as they have seemingly dropped that ps3 down a staircase, but ya know
How is it despite being exposed a few years ago, people still buy things from them? If this was already done within America/Canada, imagine the state it'd be if this was sent overseas. I had a few buddies trying to buy things from DKOldies that wouldn't mind shipping price that I had to call a stop because of videos like these.
They purchase the very same kinds of pallets of consoles that Jacob has been buying for his mega-haul content, and you see how many of those consoles are and DKOldies does the absolute bare minimum before reselling them. Of course they’re still a scam.
Thank you for stopping me from buying anything from these scam artists. You could buy a new ps5 for $500 def not worth it aside from the fact that they sent you the wrong console and it being broken.
To let you know I got an Xbox 360 slim from them. They weren’t a scam to me. Everything was check and yes also thermal pasted. If you want pictures don’t mind taking them.
DKO pov: "Heheheh...hey Jerry look, this guy placed an order again" Jerry: "Oh yeah lemme go grab something with a busted drive or dirt in it!" Other guy: "Nah man just search the dumpster out back"
Meanwhile, in the UK: (buys a Gameboy printer from CEX for £38) FiVe DaYs LaTeR *(gets a Gameboy printer (with paper), box of extra paper, multi link cable for Gameboy/Gameboy colour and a Gameboy colour case)*
Still a scam, prices are still outrageous. I just checked. $339.99 (on sale) for Skies of Arcadia Legends CIB? I got mine for 170$ off Ebay CIB. That was for a good looking disk copy that was on the expensive end.
TH-cam start throwing DKoldies ads at you randomly also? Hit me with them a week or two ago, was wondering why youtube would think I wanted to see ads from a company I was blocking ads from in the past/thought they were done for.
I got lucky & bought a OG PS3 for 25 bucks on the FB marketplace, but the price sounds about right for a backwards compatible version online shopping it's usually what they go for but man this is total BS what they did to you. Even if they didn't send a broken one they should have padded it better.
The real scam is charging anywhere near $500 for any backwards compatible PS3. Also, I don’t think it would cause any issues. But I’m surprised the 360 wasn’t somehow damaged from the missing screws. And that one should’ve been flawless since they knew it was going to you. Be interested to see what they’ll do next time to mess it up
The fact that this is still happening with all of their consoles. Means they are still using their "were only human after all" apologies. Merry Christmas.
PS4 should've been "Acceptable" imo Xbox 360 was pretty nice. That PS3 though... I'm wondering if it was something they had in storage for a while, long before they changed things, and just sent that.
Bro, I bought a Super Nintendo on a payment plan. I paid it off, but I will never ever buy from DK oldies again!!!!! Super Mario World was in horrible condition!!!! And on the back of my Super Nintendo there was some type of glue fused with the plastic!!!! I absolutely do not like that company!!!
My first time I got a fat ps3 it had the same issue. I'd turn it on and it would freeze. Didn't matter if I booted it into the safe mode or the reset menu. I have no doubt the only thing they did was power it on and check for ylod.
Gotten some crazy stuff from dkoldies, but somehow they keep outdoing themselves lol 😳 this was so bad
Dk Oldies is a joke.
My brother refurbishes consoles on the side. He just finished the PS3 backward compatible if you are interested.
Jacob R Just don’t buy on DKoldies at all, you’re probably the reason why they’re still in business 😅

For some reason people tell themselves they'll be screwed on ebay so they think websites like dk oldies aren't just the only option but worth it lol
They’re old people who see through Joey’s “cheery” mood & think that because of that they’re a good company
not even 2 minutes in, when you see a PIECE of the console fall out.
That immediate confirmation that DK.Oldies are STILL a scam
That is why I stick to flea markets and thrift stores as alternatives.

Best comment
I am now your friend

My jaw dropped INSTANTLY when I saw that huge chunk fall off the corner of the PS3
That PS3 has what is known as Green Light Of Death where either the RSX failed or BGA failed during shipping or a botched de-lid attempt

Probably nothing they are a big company with alot of power...🤔

Does sound Suspicos
The cracked corner on the PS3 is 100% on ODKoldies with the bad packing job a little on the shipping company too.

im a uk personnel too and you could get a ps3 from cex for like 1/3 of dkoldies price, and theres a higher chance its in better quality 🤔

just got done ordering off DKOldies right before this video..

I feel bad for u
That's on you blud, plenty of information on them out there
you should still be able to cancel the order if its a thing there
Lol
Tbh, the PS3 damage was probably shippers fault for dropping it, but should of been packed a little better, and the other two consoles from just looks didn't look too bad, so possibility of them getting better or maybe coincidence?
Wrong console and missing screws? Yeah, definite improvement
A couple layers of bubble wrap is absolutely not enough. That's on DKOldies.
@helmutlvx that's what I'm saying 😂
I bet it's a resounding yes!
LMAOOO sure was!
Merry christmas Jacob!
Merry Christmas to you and your family
GameStop and DK Oldies still in business? Wtf those are terrible stores.
NO WAY!! I was looking for DK Oldies unboxing videos like an hour ago to see how they're like today and now you uploaded this video, I love it 😂
$500? Local FB market has this for $80 lol Ebay $150.
not for the backwards compatibility
I mean to be fair, $500 is a fair price for a good condition A01 backwards compatible ps3 that is fully refurbished and delidded. But of course that’s not what I got

Even for a backwards compatible PS3 that is absurd!
Green light of death happens a lot after damage dropped or shipping most times you can’t fix because it lifts the cell from the board damaged traces under the chip

Good to see the 360 was in pretty good condition, wishing you and the team a Merry Christmas 🎄
My friend bought from them
1: over priced
2: games were scratched and the case was yellow and nasty looking
3: the console would make weird noises, we opened it and it had dead roaches 😂
The Sad thing Joey really does seem like a cool dude he's the main reason i still watch DK Oldies videos his personality is great.
Man I remember watching RTU cover this before he completely lost it. Good times lol
At least the 1st one didn't have any stickers on it! 😉🧑🎄
After all this time and they still haven’t learned how to ship items
What about just buying power cables and a/v from them? Those are fairly priced right? For example a GameCube power brick.
That banger definitely went on board a FedEx MD-11 plane
More of the DK oldies saga?? On Christmas Eve ??
Ohhh boy, what better way to kick off the christmas 😂😂
i was genuinely thinking this was another troll video the whole way through.. But its worse that it isnt even a troll

Never will I order from a refurbish place. Only from private collectors.
it boggles my mind how horrible people treat there consoles.
I smell a lawsuit coming in for DKOldies
Legit I wouldn’t hate on them as much if they gave reasonable prices
Were was the DKOkdies sticker for Warrenty
Am not surprised bout the Plastic damage w that crappy packaging... Nothing but a single layer of Bubblewrap & consoles sitting on top of each other....
Terrible packing job from what's supposed to be a "professional' company...
That playstation probably didn't smell like cigarettes before Joey got his paws on it.
You should do a video in the UK you'll be able to get a PS3 for between 50 to 80 British pounds instead of getting a broken PS3 for just shy of 500 bucks
How tf do they ship these stacked on top of each other; how is that acceptable?
What a scam.
I’ve got to say, the internals looked very clean on the ps4 and Xbox
Has anyone gotten banned from ordering from DK?
i had bought a ps3 slim from them around a year ago by now, and it also looked like they dropped it on the floor. Course, not as nearly as bad as they have seemingly dropped that ps3 down a staircase, but ya know
They're selling Pokemon Emerald for 400 plus USD..... like wtf
Joey knew it was you, dude took a sledgehammer to that PS3 lol.
How is it despite being exposed a few years ago, people still buy things from them? If this was already done within America/Canada, imagine the state it'd be if this was sent overseas. I had a few buddies trying to buy things from DKOldies that wouldn't mind shipping price that I had to call a stop because of videos like these.
They sell consoles for 3-4 times the price you can get at local game stores or Facebook marketplace
Almost 500 dollars and they ship the wrong model!??
You can blame DK for there mistake as well as the shipping company
I don’t really blame FedEx at all. The box wasn’t that beat up. Just poor packaging for what was inside.
They purchase the very same kinds of pallets of consoles that Jacob has been buying for his mega-haul content, and you see how many of those consoles are and DKOldies does the absolute bare minimum before reselling them. Of course they’re still a scam.

Bro I hope you informed DK Moldies about their inability to do right by the customer. It goes show they have not changed at all.
$500 for a PS3?! What is this, 2006?
That's not a gray area just because you use it doesn't mean you drug it across the ground.
