The absolute DOPAMINE rush I felt seeing the original documentation and the sealed headset was too much for me to handle, or to explain to my very confused girlfriend. Love the channel as always, man!
Nice unboxing! That console and everything in it was in an awesome condition! And the fact that it still works is even better (considering all the RROD that those earlier models had)! It's a bummer that it didn't have the Blades menu but at least you have a spare console! Great video and keep up the good work!
Hey Collector John! I recently found your channel and have been raking through your videos!! You've inspired me to begin collecting again! Looking forward to what you've got cooking up next! :)
Don't even bother opening that headset. It's kinda cool just to have as it is as a novelty, but those are notoriously some of the worst headset/mics ever produced. I must have broke at least a half-dozen myself and kept buying the same shitty one over and over because it was cheap and there weren't a ton of better third party options for a similar price.
A month ago I picked up a OG Xbox from Cali on eBay. It came with XBMC 360 softmod installed lol. Not w big deal but it had softcore porno on it so I resoftmodded it with my backups and through in a 1tb drive. At least the disc drive worked!! But ya blades on OG Xbox wow
@@collectorjohn9538Yeah! (Apparently)... You need to have RGH in the console and do some weird stuff with the nand and kernel of the 360. At this point I'm not so sure if it's possible to do it in any 360 model, but I'm sure that the first models of fat 360's (2005/2007), can be downgraded.
Definitely both iconic systems! What a time to be alive when they were first released and now considered semi-retro 😄 look forward to watching your game hunting videos. Cheers!
I was so excited by nice box and all the lovely clean documents and bags too. We are similar like that. The hoarder in me says keep it, the kind loving me says donate it to a children’s hospital, but they would probably not know what to do with it. Update us when you decide.
I would definitely keep that controller, 360 controllers with no stick drift are hard to come by nowadays. I would grab a skin or faceplate cover and display it, but thats me.
you know how some people can downgrade there firmware/software on there ps3's? i wonder if you can do the same thing on the xbox 360? i would keep it,soft mod it and take it apart and clean the crap out of it nice pickup! great video john!
Hey, Collector John, hope that you're doing well! The blades UI was GOAT. This video brought me back to the 360 launch day waiting in line at 2AM at KMART. Good times!
Dude… $45.. id pay that just for the Box and accessories lol. But Ah the memories… got mine back in 2006 Christmas and seeing you unbox it was just wow. Also side note I got the red ring 4 times in a year 07-08. I’m in the process of trying to find a older white Xbox 360 for the feels but I have PTSD from the red ring and if I see it agian being 31 I’m sure I wouldn’t be as nice as my 13 / 14 year old self 😂.
I just picked up a series x, and the way the box was took me back to the first time I cracked open my 360, just a lot less paperwork😂. I am also glad that I acted now back in 2006 and did that warranty. I had about 3 or 4 red rings and I will give Microsoft kudos on how well they handled the replacements. It sucked be because it red ringed on me right when ME2 came. Luckily I had a coworker he didn't really use hers and she let me borrow it until mine came back.
Absolute blast from the past! I remember graduating high school and using some of my open house gifts to purchase my first Xbox 360 in early 2006. Countless hours playing Perfect Dark Zero and Full Auto.
I freaked when you opened the bottom compartment of the box to reveal the original bags for the controller and headset. Great find! Shame about the lack of Blades OS but nice to have a spare 360 around for experiments or mods. BTW just bought my first OG Xbox this weekend!
Always glad to see a new collector John video show up 😎 forgive my ignorance, but what is the benefit/appeal of having the blades dash? Just better aesthetics? I would for sure put that controller away until you eventually need a replacement 🎮
Yeah it's just the aesthetic. There is no benefit beyond that, and you can't put any games in made after a certain point because they will automatically update you off of blades. So the console is less useful lol
That entertainment stand was similar to the same one I had in college. I think I got it from Walmart for like $30. Congrats on the super clean 360!! I would keep that bad boy in the box minty fresh like that!!!
