I don’t know much about consoles, but in this video I attempt to sort and organize them all onto a shelf in a way that makes sense.

  1. Xbox consoles are extremely resilient. I'd say that only a small percentage of them are not salvageable. It all depends on how much time/money you want to spend on them. The DVD drives on the other hand, are troublesome, often needing new lasers. I've been able to resurrect about 95% of the Xbox consoles I've refurbished, and maybe 66% of the optical drives.

    Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles, specifically the earlier models, are less likely to be repaired unless you reball the CPU/GPU, which is quite a bit of work, and a lot of skill (way outside my wheelhouse).

  2. 16:00 damn that's crazy that people are throwing away the "New" 3ds xl's, they are worth a lot nowadays (more than switch lites) and they are such cool and unique devices with the 3d effect

  3. It's not a good idea to just arbitrarily keep all the machines for 10 years. Some of them are the most common victims of the capacitor plague and are already being eaten alive by leaking caps. For instance, there's a 95% chance that GameGear is already dead. If you leave it another 10 years it will likely not be recoverable. Some stuff will be fine, sure, but by not checking this stuff now you're actually going to end up with more e-waste.

  4. Hey love your content keep it up!! Also heard you say Minneapolis… Im down in Mankato and have the special edition controllers that go with your different Xbox360 consoles. Let me know if youd like them.

  5. Nice! The S, or Slim models of the Xbox 360 better then the original ones, because Microsoft had fixed the Red Ring of Death issue. I don’t know if you remember reading about that in the late 2000s. Do you game on PC at all? I’d love to build my own gaming PC; it’s actually looks pretty easy to do.

  6. Those dongles on the Xbox are IR receivers for the Xbox Media Remote! It was a kit that would allow you to control media playback on the Xbox with said Xbox Remote (like a TV remote, NOT a controller).

    If you knew more about consoles, I'd recommend sorting the consoles by revision. Many of these consoles have different board revisions, and ways of identifying them. This information is important for homebrewers (like me) because it defines which types of mods are available. PS3 Slims for example have several revisions. Depending on which model you had, you would need to install CFW (custom firmware) or HFW (Hybrid firmware). Installing the wrong type on the model can brick the console. The Xbox 360 also has Trinity and Corona style boards, which determine which solder pins you need to jump for installing CFW.
