I bought Japanese MYSTERY TECH 

When ever I hear Sendico my brain goes Retro Future since Elliot often uses it.

I'm loving how Austin keeps hiding things he owns LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

You've gotta come to Japan and do a retro game hunt. It's absolutely surreal and incredible seeing thousands of old games all lined up in box for 5$, 10$, 20$, and so on. The first time I went out, I thought every game had to be fake or something because there's no way there's like 5 mint copies of pokemon silver in box for 16$ each. It's crazy

Ken: "are you stealing company property?" Also Ken majority of the time: **YOINK** imma just "borrow" this 😂😂

One of my friends had PSX but we still used normal PS2 to play games because when we loaded a disc that was suposed to bypass pirated games, it didnt work in PSX for some reason and we used PS2 Slim instead... Good old days imma tell ya that... After school going to a friends home and play games, it was a blast...

Such a sick video! You bought some really lovely things. Love the Casio Loopy and the GameBoy Light!

I've used Sendico a lot in the past, was put onto it by Elliott from Retro Future. It's a really great place if you're an anime/manga/video game collector. I've picked up nearly new manga volumes for less than a $1 each. They same translated volumes sell locally for about $15-$25. It can be very confusing though, it's not you're normal online shopping experience. You have to be committed to your purchase, because everything is done in stages, including payment, which normally involves 2 or 3 transactions (one for purchasing the item, one for packaging, one for shipping etc).

Love this video! Please continue to do this segments and expand to more japan unique tech like laptops, bikes, electronics, portable monitor etc

Wait what? The Casio Loopy shouldn't need the converter. Japan is NTSC standard and the Loopy is NTSC-M composite.

Sendico is a pretty cool service. You just have to be incredibly realistic about the cost of shipping times etc. Once you get past that in the other little hurdles you have to deal with it's pretty cool.

I still say that it is a travesty that the west never got the PSX because I have always wanted one in place of a traditional PS2 - Its such a neat little footnote in video game and console history. My local hobby shop had one about 5 years ago in near mint condition for nearly $600 but it had been region hacked so it was effectively fully functional.

You should make a video of you guys fixing up the PSX! Though the CD might have gotten damaged with that grinding noise 💀

There's some mods you can do to the PSX DVR, FMCB works and you can convert the XMB from Japan -> English also. Good haul overall!

8:08 I actually don't think blowing did anything, but rather, Austin just inserted the cart AFTER turning the DS on, which doesn't really work. Meanwhile, Ken turned the DS on after putting the cart in

You were lucky to find a PSX that still works. The hard drive has failed on most of them, and without a hard drive, it won't even boot. The HDD is encrypted, so once that dies, the console is pretty much useless, there is no way to get it working again without a backup of the HDD from before it failed. I would make a full image of that HDD as soon as possible, so when the drive inevitably dies, you can put the image onto a new drive.

this is why i recommend japanese sites and shippers for ppl who wanna get into retro collecting cuz its much much more of a sane and reasonable market then the one scammers in the us built its why most of the imports here are reasonably priced plus the stock in japan lasts longer so less bs excuses of hey its less produced so we gotta sell a controller or game for 200$ when I can get it here for 10$

Honestly, finding a broken PSX is a lot more common than finding one that fully works. The PSX is a notoriously faulty device with basically every component having common issues. Luckily for you only the Disc Drive seems to be the only issue and that can be fixed, but the system is prone to failures with the Hard Drive, Power Supply, cooling due to terrible thermal design and even the board failing entirely. It's a miracle that it even turns on to be bonest.

we have seen japanese mystery tech before back in 2019 when austin still said "hey guys this is Austin"

After the Stadia "review" backlash, Austin and co. retreat to the land of the rising sun as wanted international fugitives

One thing about Japanese is they keep their items in good condition. The resale market is huge, so they buy with the thinking to resell later.

There was a Game Gear adapter you could slot in and watch regular TV. I don't know if those can still be found but that would be pretty cool to have on there

i love have ken always find a way to mention the fire 😂😂

I still have my gamegear, but haven't used it in forever. Need to check the prices, and will probably consider selling mine.

$184 in shipping is amazing for that much stuff

The front port on the PSX isnt firewire. Its a dv port most likely for importing things from digital cameras and camcorders

Taking the cart out and putting it in multiple times is what makes it work. It helps to clean the contacts. Blowing in carts does nothing but make the contacts corrode.

Keep up the good work austin

1:29 Oh hey, it's the old glossy Mew card! I got one on ebay maybe 15 years ago. Still have it in a binder somewhere.

I need more of this specific content

PSX might of not worked because you had it stood up on its back. Unlike the other PS2 consoles, your can't stand the PSX upright and insert discs down into the front like that.

18:10 Damn that kinda bops, but i can't seem to find a full version of it

This seems like a nice store to import from Japan, I use Rakuten to purchase and import stuff like Yu-Gi-Oh cards, music cds, videogames and accesories to México

Flaming Austin for that fire is cold. Almost as cold as the water the firefighters used

I remember as a kid I would play my gameboy color under my sheets with the wiggly light till 2am when I was supposed to get up the next day for school. This was before wifi, cell phones, etc.

Gonna wanna consider checking and probably updating the capacitors on that Game Gear.

I saw the middle thing in Austin's chast, I was like what is this??? Then he showed us. Ahh I see... Take it off lol

I use sendico consistently and have had over 100+ parcels with them in the last 2 years

As a massive Pokemon fan, I had no idea Austin was a fan too lol. And I def didn't expect to see 151 in this video!

i find it hard to believe hes never seen a loopy before. theres been vids on that console on here for decades.

I remember PSX back as a kid and thought it was a fever dream. No one I talked to about it had ever heard of it and thought I was lying lol.

I want to see Austin buy a Japan-exclusive arcade machine from Sendico XD If he buys an Ongeki/maimai/Chuni machine, even better

The first time I used sendico I also bought a psx, two in fact! Cost me an arm and a leg with the weight and when it came the same problem happened to me! The soluction I came up with was to mod the psx because the main laser wasnt working so it couldnt check what the disc was, and with the mod it just skipped it and played the disc right away! I recommend you guys do the same!

4:09 I'm watching on that exact TV I think I need an upgrade 😂

Austin with the pov cam looks like some budget, knock off Tony Stark

Ken ribbing Austin about taking company property....yeah good one ken.

As a hardcore Final Fantasy fan, I am envious of Austin, probably for the first time ever..... I didn't even know that wondrous one existed and I need it

11:31 damn they still remember that I don't think Austin wanted to remember that tragic day

PSX I wanted so bad, I keep hoping Sony would make a PS1-3 legacy console that has all the features of the past but runs any of the games of any region just to keep all the games that have been locked by publisher and legal BS.

PSX’s are known to break like crazy. The disc drive always goes out. It’s actually extremely rare to find one in good working condition and they normally cost a ton. It is cool to have the XMB bar on the PS2 though, but not worth the cost.

I love that Ken chose Auto Modellista to try on the PSX, although you guys could have gone with Gran Turismo 3 or 4 ^^

Ken has been making a lot more fire jokes lately lmao

No but design-wise, that wonderswan looks so cool. It immediately reminded me of the GBA

I honestly love seeing a wonderswan! I have the final fantasy wonderswan with the final fantasy logo on it!

Been waiting for the psx video

I’ve gotten a few things from Japan ands it’s always been immaculate and packed amazingly well.

Mod the Swan! The backlight kit is super easy to install, and it'd make a great video or short

TheFBI Open up sounded so realistic my heart dropped

Austin hope for the best for you, your family, and the team, yes including denki 😂😂

Love Austin Vids!

Austin one of the best in our time

8:36 the way bro sounded so terrified ☠

thanks Austin! that was fun video also that FF console

Ken wearing the Summer Wars shirt made me hit the like button.

The house on fire part was out of pocket 😂

"are you taking company property?" - Ken whose used mystery tech to get stuff he wants

I'm pretty sure the PSX was discontinued because many of them had trouble being both a video game console and DVR in 1. I could be thinking of a different console but it makes sense if it was this 1. They learned from their mistakes and didn't put all those features in the PS2.

Take aways from this video: Blowing fixes everything

Feels weird to have Sendico segment without Elliot Coll (Retro Future) 🤣

Im confused japan is ntsc so these consoles will work fine on us tvs. Whats the deals with a pal converter?

@AustinEvans A great follow-up video would you retro-brighting that WonderSwan. Do your research, find the method you feel most comfortable with and make a video of it! I use the H2O2 vapor method, but you do you.

Our PSX lives at my mother in law’s in Kumamoto. I used it for DVDs. I couldn’t get the American games to run in it.

Can we please have 1 of 2 Episodes please: An Austin Evans Pokemon Pack Opening Video An Austin Evans Mystery Tech "Card Edition" where you find the strangest TCGs

Shoutout to Ken for being a cultured man and acknowledging that Auto Modellista is one of the greatest racing games ever. I'm still hoping for a remaster or something 😔

Damn Ken you didn't have to do Austin like that

Ima be honest.... if Switch games came in boxes like the Wonderswan I'd be all over it. Just something about it that looks great.

We need more of these videos, but also featuring similar sites like Buyee

Used to work at ToysRUs here in the states. That Geoffrey joke got me good.

Note shipping from japan is free on most ebay items but you might pay import fees a couple bucks

I was holding off on getting another pxs after selling my first one. I even have brand new lasers for it if I wanted to fix one up, yes people it has two lasers.

That PSX is one good-looking paperweight. Notoriously unreliable machines, and it's usually the disc drive that gives up first.

Austin never makes bad videos

"The next best thing", ayo Austin!

I love this vid, have y'all considered sponsoring a group purchase? It could help us folk out who don't have a group of friends to carry the charge 😂 If so, I want in!

I remember the Game gear being able to be doubled as a Genesis remote too.

Austin, where did you get that duck shirt? I've been dying to get hands on it but don't know where to find it online

If your planning on using the PSX, please use a freeMCBoot mem card or at least backup the HDD. 2000s hdd arent known for longevity.

$180 sounds cheap considering ikea wanted to charge me $300 to ship a $100 mickie drawer. 😂

Mistery tech here we goo this should be fun 😂

You should do a mystery tech with products from microcenter

As soon as I saw the Game gear, it reminded me of the movie Surf Ninjas. 😂

the z flip has now a display on the back too👌👍😁 Bey Bey Motorola hahahahhaa😂😂😂😂😂

The psx also has component output to the serial converter

Wasnt the game gear a tiny crt instead of lcd tho?

Austin you should do a mystery macari tech video that would be cool

I still have my game gear somewhere around. I absolutely loved it! & I had the entire original collection of Pokemon. I sold them a long time ago for a couple hundred bucks. I so wish I held onto them 😔

Where do you get your shirts or blouses? i neeeeed them.

Shame Yahoo auctions stopped working in the UK

wonderswan legit looks like a modern thermostat

NOBODY: AUSTIN: 400 Bucks for some paper cards

I remember my sister having the silver Gameboy Lite with a copy of Pokemon Blue. We played that thing for years until we lost it in 2012 or 13
