i figured they probably were using it for the X years between last halo 3 session and last log in of the gamer tag to stream netflix & hulu, xbox 360 was the og way to do that before fire sticks and apple tv and chromecast

If i remember the icons correctly, all of those XBLA games are just trials. You can see when you load up TMNT, theres an option to "Unlock full game", so i dont believe any of those games are the full ones. Also, if im remembering game sharing with my dad as a kid years ago, the profile that purchased the game owns the license, so that profile HAS to be on the console for other profiles to be able to play it.

[@BaneGamesOfficial]

Man those 360 cases seemed to crack games regularly, many times when I was a teen we had to check when getting it pre-owned to make sure the disk was okay lol.

[@ShadowDragon-cw7wb]

The steelbooks were infamous for causing radial cracks. Had it happen to Halo Wars.

[@tokin420nchokin]

I had a copy of arkham asylum break like that

[@dman5527x]

Absolutely, however if you see cracks like that it generally means the game was played the hell out of as well, being taken out and put back in the case all the time. My modern warfare 2 and my halo reach both have those cracks and those were the two games I played the most I'd say

[@mactep1]

Someone else mentioned that the Wii U with the broken wifi is running a really old firmware version, that might be the cause of the WiFi issues, you could either leave it or try updating it with a Wii LAN adapter, depending on what option you find to be more profitable.

[@dominic0305]

that “someone else” was me i think ;) but that’s a pretty good point, yeah

[@dootskyre]

didn’t he say the console updated from Lego City Undercover?

[@dootskyre]

(some games include system updates when necessary)

[@Mac-og2hj]

My theory is they tried the Halo 3 and it didn't work so they gave the Xbox to goodwill thinking it was broken 😞

[@vipertt100]

If you look at the icons for the games, they show half a controller at the bottom. That means they are demos not full games. I still use my 360 regularly.

[@toysuniverseandeverything]

The WiiU Wi-Fi will often flake out like your second one. Removing the coin cell battery and power cycling the system will often fix it. The coin cell keeps the system from power cycling properly.

[@dman5527x]

When you see those kinds of cracks like that on an Xbox 360 disc in those spots, it usually means one thing: somebody spent a period of their time no lifing that game, it got taken out of and put back in its case a million times lol. That halo 3 disc has probably seen a crap ton of playtime. Kinda sad to think someone might be missing it 😢 awesome vid as always

I don't like using alcohol when cleaning the lens on the laser being that it can sometimes strip the anti-glare coating on the lens, damaging it sometimes beyond repair. You are better off with a good glass cleaner like Windex.

(I can confirm this as I have 7 Xbox 360's with all of my games downloaded and working without my profile, I've never reconnected them to the internet so they all still have my games.)

I love this series and can't wait for new episodes. Just a small correction: At ~ 16:35 you mention that you can't play PS1 games on all PS3s. Thats wrong though, I think you meant Playstation 2 games, which is also not 100 % correct. Afaik, all PS3s got software emulation to play PS1 titles. The first revisions also got hardware emulation for PS2 games, which was later switched to a hardware software combination before being dropped completely - just like they ditched the possibility to install linux on later revisions. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, this is all just from memory.

[@DannyTheEditor]

You're correct but he said that all PS3s can play PS1 games, must've just sounded like he said can't. 🙂
