I Bought EVERY Console at GameStop...

- Hey guys, I'm Austin and we just

bought

all the

console

s from GameStop. And it only cost us... (crumpled receipt) $1,283. (cash register bangs) Dude, what do they pack these things with? So let's start with the oldest one, which was our DSi, and it cost us 49.99. I didn't realize it was going to be pink, but that's okay. - I'm fine with that. - Next, we have our 3DS XL, which cost a hefty $100. Ehh, okay, the screens are a little dirty, I think we could clean that up. Now, the Switch was probably the worst deal we had here. This was $280.

Well, technically the MSRP on all Switches is still $300, however of course you have the Switch Lite for $200, and the fact that the red box Switch, which we did a whole video about, has much more. Battery life for, again, $300, means there's zero, zero chance it'll be worth it, even if it's completely perfect. You know what, this Switch has a screen protector. Going back a few years, we have our Wii U, which costs $110. It is not in good condition, there are many scratches on that screen. Hey, okay. I mean, that (laughs) that's not good. Moving on, we have the OG Wii, which costs a cool $70.

This is the last Wii model that is not compatible with GameCube. We should have checked, that sucks. I mean, that was one of my favorite parts of the Wii: you could easily play those GameCube games. Well, that's it for our great Wii. Next, we have our $100 PlayStation 3. Now I think this is the slim 80 gig model. Oh! (clears throat) It doesn't matter. This is the fat PS3. Next, we have the PS4, which costs a whopping $220. (blowing into the

console

) We still have (laughs) easy access to the hard drive. Next, let's get into some Xboxes, shall we? Apparently, we

bought

a four-gig Xbox 360 Slim, for 69.99.

As you can see very clearly, there is no hard drive. In fact, I wonder: how much do you think a 360 hard drive would cost today? Probably not so bad, huh? For $160, we have the original Xbox One. We have a day one driver here. That is very beautiful! - Oh! - So this is an Xbox One release. The first thing I'll say about this, and I don't know what's going on here, is that this is all matte. Like the entire console. No shiny plastic here, no shiny plastic here. Is this a d mark? So let's put these consoles to the test.

And to start, we have the Xbox 360. Now, as I mentioned before, you have to keep in mind that with a four-gig console, some games won't work. However, Rise of the Tomb Raider should not require any installation. (dramatic video game music) - Thank you. - Here we go. It's okay, I mean, it's okay with me. Okay, so the real question here is: did we get a good deal? I'm almost sure that's not the case. So this was $70, I think, right? Now if we jump on eBay here, $35, buy it now, free shipping. Or $40, with a 250 gig hard drive.

Yes, they destroyed us. Next, let's test our day one Xbox One. So I'm going to throw out a disc here, this is Titanfall 2, because it's the only Xbox One disc I have. (record player screeching) Oh, did you hear that noise? Wait, this drive works, right? It doesn't show any games. Okay, (laughs) well, um, it doesn't look too appealing for the Xbox One! How much do we pay for this? $160! Will this be posted on eBay? 134 for a model S, which is much better than this one. We can get an original for 120. - Thumbs down. - A harsh rejection of the Xbox One, wow!

I can't believe the drive isn't working. Now it's time to take a look at our PlayStations, and the first is our fat PS3. Now, these aren't the most reliable consoles in the world, but if you can get your hands on one in good condition, and especially considering it has backwards compatibility, I mean, yeah, you should expect to be lucky. (Robotic sound effects play) (PS3 beeps) Whoa, what? - Oh! - Just died! - Oh! - That? - Wow. - I entered the game for two seconds! - Wow. - What does the flashing red light mean? Just... - Overheating. - Oh friend!

Are you serious? "The system will reboot, check the file system, and restore it if it is corrupted. "If the file system is corrupted, "it will take two to three hours to complete." This is not a great first experience (laughs). (Robotic sound effects play) Here we go. - Ahh. Oh! (PS3 beeps) Oh, buddy, no. Okay, that's not going to work at all. Literally... That was even less time than last time! (laughs). So in theory I can open this and find out what it is. going on, but realistically, if someone buys this, I mean, you won't be happy.

You spent, how much do we buy this again? On eBay, I see it for 100, $125. There are some that have offers of up to 140, $150. Actually, this is a good deal. This is the strange one, because if we can fix this, if we can keep it from overheating, we can. I actually saved money by buying it at GameStop. But this is a huge risk. I mean, I don't know if you remember, but they said we were losing weight and they gave us fat. I don't even know if we were supposed to get this specific model. - PS3, we have 80 gigabytes, 160, 320, 250 gigabytes. - Okay, and those are all the slim models, right? - Yes. - Let's see how the PS4 goes. - Chances are now that this PS4 is probably broken too. - Not well.

I'm sure it's fine. (disc drive grinding) I can't even play the game now. - Put it in. (record player grinding) (Ken laughs) - What's wrong with these? I don't even care if this works now, I think it just ate my disk! But we have a puck light. Oh! (laughs) - Oh, boy, okay. - These are all the consoles, exactly as they come. We haven't done anything to them. What's going on? I actually don't know if this album will work anymore. (record player grinding) (Ken laughs) - Just help him. Put him out of his misery. - Well.

Verdict, what do you think? - Mmm, it could be scratched. Oh, what's that look? Oh what? - Let me try to clean this and put it back. Oh, it works right away. The disk wasn't that dirty before. It definitely wasn't that dirty. - He's doing something. - Above all, come take a look. See, now that I look at it a little closer, do you see that little white spot here? In fact, there's some dirt, or some grime, or whatever, on the side of the little loading dock. I bet there's just a little bit of dirt on the actual drive or something, and as he pulled the drive in, he rubbed that dirt across the drive, spun it, and smeared it all over the bottom.

So I was able to clean it and it worked. - Excellent. (Austin laughs) Whatever was on the front is now all over the inside. - Oh, you're right! All of that has just been incorporated. (Ken laughs) Alright, next up is the Nintendo Switch. Now that we're done, this is a poor value. At just $30 less than a new red box Switch, there's no way this makes sense, although what good is the original Switch for? Uh, we're looking at probably around 240, 250, broadly speaking. Not bad. 'Okay, I mean, the touch screen seems fine. You think, wait, newer Pokémon games don't have some censorship so you can't name your rival certain words?

Oh, it was a curse! (laughs) Excellent. Look, I'm still six years old, okay? Alright. Next up, we have the Wii U. Now, hopefully, it's just paired. I haven't used a Wii U in-- (GamePad hits the table) - Well, we can't blame GameStop for that, can we? - Alright. Here is the test, does this drive work? Oh, look at that. Smooth, simple, clean. 720p! - There are no nipples yet. - (laughing) No nipples yet! So, we spent $110 on this Wii U, which I think is a pretty decent deal. And yes, it is. So on eBay, for example, there are a lot of 110 to 120.

Now this is probably the best console we bought, if not in the best aesthetic shape, but in reality it is a completely reasonable price. Well, we have a working Wii. Obviously this is not the Wii you want, you will most likely want the one that supports GameCube. However, let's see if he can actually play. What Wii games do we have? Oh yeah, I bought the stupid Star Wars game! - Stupid Star Wars. (laughs) - Come on, it's a Star Wars game for Wii, it's not going to be good. Yeah! (lightning zapping) Yeah, here we go! This is how you're supposed to use the Wii!

Who said the Wii wasn't fun? (Ken laughs) - Oh, this is great! - So, the Wii cost us $69. - Nice. - With 45 dollars we will get a fully functioning original Wii, which again has GameCube compatibility, much better than this one. Shall we get into portable consoles now? - Yes. - Alright, let's start with the Nintendo DSi, in this excellent shade of pink. Now, I really, really like the DSi. This was definitely my favorite DS console, and I happen to have the best Pokémon game of all time to try out, HeartGold. Sorry, you can play Nintendogs later. - Oh. (vocalizing along with the game's music) - Why do I have a Charmander, what?

How do I have a Charmander? So we paid $50 for this DSi, which I think might not be the worst deal in the world. Oh wait, I lied. I just found a $26 pink DSi on eBay. Oh. Very good, not a bad deal. Let's try the 3DS, because it was actually very expensive. Oh yeah. No, this is totally fine. Well, I think it's safe to say that our 3DS works. Now this was expensive. I think it was actually quite expensive, a whopping 99.99! (laughing) 70, 80 dollars. I mean, it's definitely not a good deal, but it's really not crazy. We have learned a lot today, but the last and most important test is yet to come.

What happens when we bring these consoles back to GameStop and trade them in? Although now that most of them don't work, we probably won't come out particularly well with this one. (laughing) - Oh. It's actually kind of funny, because when we first went to GameStop to try to buy all these consoles, they didn't even want to sell them to us. I guess they found us suspicious. - So for a purchase of this size, I just found out from my store leader, and we can't do it right now, because I need approval from the district leader, and

every

one is in conference right now in Nashville. - I mean, to be fair, we've waited two weeks to get out of the return policy, simply because we're not trying to rip off GameStop. - Oh yeah! - We legitimately want to sell you these consoles. - Yes, we are basically giving them free money, which they need, because, well, time is ticking, they won't last that long! (laughs) - Ken "Savage" Bolido. - Say it, I'm not wrong. (Both laugh) - Alright, we've successfully sold all of our consoles except one to GameStop.

So, the only one they didn't take was the PS3 and, curiously, it wasn't even because of the problem we had. It was because they said, what, the HDMI port was corroded? -The HDMI was corroded and I could visibly see it. - So this seems like a lot of money, right? Well, let's see exactly what we were able to get? 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348. And our grand total is $349 (cash register hits) after spending $1,283 on purchasing the consoles. (Roblox plays) What is the moral of the story of this video? I'm not too sure, plus we make very bad investment decisions. - Yes, we are not going to survive either. - GameStop will have to bail us out next. - Not if they're dead.
