Retro video game consoles are creeping up in price….

[@Dorian_Gray83]

I you have an extensive retro game collection, you might have a backup extra console. I also have extra controllers and their cables. At some point it will be hard to pickup this stuff, specially in good condition...

[@pmcfarlin7]

These consoles have ODE and softmods available, so people are after these to mod them and have access to many games. All of my retro consoles that I own I have modded and most are really easy now to install.

[@Bird-Birdy-Love]

I have 2 ps1s, 3 ps2s (one fat/ 2 slim) a ps3 slim a ps4 and ps5 and an OG XBox. This is why i am collecting a few backups just in case.

[@Greg7791]

I've picked up many XBOX consoles, but none that clean. Nice score! BTW, if a video cable isn't connected to the console, the yellow light is supposed to light up.

Best deal I ever had was at a fleamarket a vendor with misc electronic and wires. Was looking for an hdmi and noticed the Playstation logo on some AV cables. I asked and dude wanted a dollar. Kept digging into the pile of wires and found the actual PS1. I asked how much for the PS1? Dude wanted 2 dollars. I paid 5 and said keep the change. This was about 7 yrs ago b4 everyone became a video game expert/reseller

I'm kinda lucky I've been buying up systems up over the years. back when they were cheap

[@creepyboy6593]

I'd like to get a Pal PS2 & a Japan PS2 for my collection!

[@deadringer8050]

Not just that but peeps are buying them to mod them for hardware emulation

[@sikevillain]

Might pickup a OG Xbox just so i can enjoy Mortal Kombat Shaolin monks & The suffering games like my childhood. Good talk Y2K

[@berndonplspng9978]

Buncha hardmodded ones on mercari if you got some change to throw around

[@sikevillain]

@berndonplspng9978 nice I'll keep a lookout then!! Appreciate the info

[@theghastlygamer5326]

Not necessarily, if it is modded it will have that yellow ring too

[@Southized]

Man you gotta mod that ps3 or wii, backup your collection it makes it so you dont have to pull discs out and keep messing with the center ring eject on cases.

[@LastQuarterArcade]

Lol the ps4 controller alone already paid for itself. Sweet score

[@Loophole23742]

I bought a ps3 super slim and ps2 last month and just picked up an OG Xbox 2 days ago. I paid around £40 for each of them. I had a store voucher that knocked down the price of my ps3 super slim and I had another store voucher that knocked down the price for my OG Xbox.

[@simplyelwin]

Thanks bro

[@Southized]

I keep 2 of every console i like. Just in case one of them breaks ill still have a way to use the discs. Plus i got almost every second console for free, bought a lot, sold the games kept console made profit and free console🤷🏽‍♂️

[@theghastlygamer5326]

I mod all mine you should. I rip my games onto hard drives. It keeps you from killing the laser on disk drive and they load faster off hard drive than they do disk

[@Suhadisgood]

Their not retro if they can’t play the games correctly as the arcade like your PS1 who can’t run Pac-Man a simple game marvel Vs capcom that’s why I went and bought the arcade machines if it wasn’t for Sega there wouldn’t of of a perfect marvel Vs capcom or marvel Vs capcom 2 the original Xbox is the true retro console

[@type2red]

I love the original xbox and their are a lot of amazing games that i know you would like.

[@jamescarter7347]

Clean ps1

[@black2785]

I hate having every retro console but they are all broken

[@therealjaystone2344]

They can still be fixed

[@Southized]

Bro i never understood this? I have never bought a single broken console, nor have any of my original consoles ever broke. How are yall breaking these consoles??

[@black2785]

@@Southized I treat them like new same with the back side of the CDs but it’s like Internal failures. Thermal pastes going bad or disc drives acting up. I can’t stand people touching my games

[@Southized]

@@black2785i just must be lucky i guess. I hear online people buy original xbox and they are always broken, which is crazy to me because i have bought 10+ original xboxs over the years and havent seen one broken. Not even a bad drive.

[@Look-at-the-ghost]

I have no retro consoles I just don’t trust ordering online. Dk oldies is an example

[@therealjaystone2344]

Pro tip: always rrad the reviews on how many negative reviews and always look at the seller’s ratings (no less than 99.5% or 4.9 stars)

[@Sykxezn]

you mean they arent already overpriced?

[@mikerb86]

Good video.
