This Xbox 360 Smells like Nutmeg & Cinnamon... 🤔

Not much to say here... I bought this untested Xbox 360 from Goodwill, and when I opened the box up, it had a very interesting smell...

What happens if it doesn't turn on it turns on show me everything it turns on but it's not showing tv

[@collectthemall]

That Xbox power brick is still impressove . You can defend yourself with it in a bad neighborhood .

[@JacobRTWO]

It is definitely a beefy boy! (Peep my phat to slim Xbox 360 power adapter I’m using 😂)

[@FlyingMods]

I didn't even see the adapter at first. I was like, they made a Slim that takes the old power brick?? 😂

[@KERR9000]

Those stickers came free in some copies of Gears 3, so there would have been a lot of them about.

[@christiangalloway8]

The Gears 3 stickers came with all he copies of Gears of War 3. So basically, anyone with an Xbox who played gears got those stickers. I still have mine on the sheet in the game case.

[@kylechaytor9146]

It could possibly smell like that if the previous owner had a wax melt warmer on at all times in the house cinamon is a very popular scent

[@sj-red]

Yeah, I was thinking those lines. I thought maybe they burned a lot of incense, I guess either would probably leave a smell eventually

[@fraiden52]

Those stickers came with the gears of war 3 common case game, that´s why everyone has it in their consoles. i put mine on my firts sony LCD TV

[@KenSch2020]

Another reason it might smell like cinnamon. I wonder if that Goodwill had some of the holiday cinnamon pinecones around the console and the dust inside the console soaked up the smell or the card board packaging was around it either or.

[@SpellCastingRepeller]

3:19, it actually is possible to get an Xbox 360 Slim with an NXE dashboard, however the Xbox 360 slim has to have came out in the very first months of the slim coming out and it needs to have never been updated, the NXE dashboard was still the latest dashboard when the slim came out, it's very rare to find a slim with the NXE dashboard though.

[@noptopic]

Hi there; usually capacitors may make the smell, from my experience - I would suggest looking at that just in case !

[@ouufy1595]

Gears of war back in the day was awesome

[@TheRealMikeMichaels]

Check the capacitors, I remember breaking a few capacitors and it smelt like nutmeg.

[@JacobRTWO]

Thanks! I will have to take a closer look at the board

[@publicdistrust2536]

I’ve worked at a pawnshop for almost 25 years. I see Xbox 360s with gears of war stickers all the time.

[@JacobRTWO]

Seriously, why does it smell like this? I’ve come across plenty of consoles that smell like cigarettes, but nutmeg and cinnamon? That’s a new one 😂

[@jasond2831]

I had a console similar in smell. Its from someone using a carpet dusting product near an xbox while its on. it sucks the dust in and it stays there. or its some sort of incense

[@tobiaswehner6836]

I have one that smells not like cinnamon but it has kind of a sweet smell to it and I don't know why. Bought it last year as untested because of the special controller and because it's a phat jasper with internal storage and I have never seen a phat console with on board storage. Only saw that on the slim console. adapted it as my Main 360. I cleaned it out and gave it new paste and it still smells like that. But no leaking capacitors or anything.

[@Auggierem]

The 360 you kept at Grandma's house, she bakes a lot and smokes clove cigarettes.

[@jmays2007]

Probably had a candle warmer / oil diffuser running in their house, the dust will collect the scent. I've seen this in laptops and consoles I've serviced.

[@mjsatx13]

Have you ever had a hardrive not wanna come out when you pull the tab?

[@mkfreak22]

The Call Of Duty World At War gamerscore had a last played date. The date was 5/21/2020.

[@sonicthehedgehognerd3219]

I put the same exact stickers on my 360, almost identical to that. One of the Gears of War games came with those stickers. If your still wondering.

[@tobiaswehner6836]

No jacob he has 13000 gamscores but the amount of gamescores he could because of the games he played. Let's say the game has 1000 gamescores you can get, but you only have 400 it would say 400/1000

[@RandoOnline_]

An edible Xbox 😋

[@tastygrandma]

Gears of War 3 came with a sticker pack. People stuck them on their Xbox (I did anyway lol)

[@Socherbal]

Why gears of war 3 stickers? It is because gears of war used to be a huge franchise, and the hype was huge with the 3rd release. The 3rd game came with stickers, and a bunch of us kids didn’t know what to do with them, so we plastered them on our Xboxs lol. My Xbox has gears of war stickers on it. I’m gonna take some alcohol to it eventually and get them all off

[@derpdude32]

I actually got one of these in great condition at a goodwill the other day! 40$ and it was only missing a controller!

[@SteveGuitarTech]

Oh yeah the Xbox 360 with the gears of war stickers on it saw those everywhere and pawn shops even my friend had one with stickers on it in the same exact areas it's crazy

[@carlwhite570]

These gears of war stickers came with the gears of war 360 controller

[@Oltheboll]

I love how you have nutmeg and cinnamon on the green screen Lol 😆

[@HardWhereHero]

Weird, when I buy my GPU's from them, I get the same cut up boxes and I swear I tasted egg and cinnamon.

[@lifeonabike8691]

Gears was the game to play with your group back in the day. PVP or Horde, that shit was fire. Some of my best memories. Even i had a GOW sticker on my og console. haha

[@ARIGHETTI]

They probably blasted some air freshner that smelled like cinnamon 💀

[@brandino561]

because gears of war 3 came with stickers and it's the only game I remember for 360 that I know of back when you had something on the left side of the case and it wasn't just the disc

[@rickjames9039]

Previous owner had probably a bakery in his bedroom

[@slick6577]

When you bought Gear of war 3 you would get stickers so that’s why so many Xbox 360 have them

[@jasond2831]

LOL you did the same thing i did with the xclamp removal tool. You tried to pry against the motherboard. you insert the tool in the slit between the x part and where clamp makes contact with the board. had a tool for years but used a screwdriver till i sat down and actually learned how it worked. this was about 6 months ago

[@JacobRTWO]

Lol thanks, I’ll have to give it another go. I just gave up immediately since I knew I could get it out with a screwdriver lol

[@John-uz3mb]

Bro... that xbox looks exactly like my old 360 lmao. It took me a second before I realized mine rrod and is now in storage lol

[@SkyScourgeGod]

Bro, no joke, mine is exactly the same right down to the sticker placement and the glossy black finish. This is reinforced by the fact when I got the Slim back in the day I had a plug in air freshener that I put cinnamon scent into. I had to give my console a double take to make sure it was still in my closet. Even more hilarious, just like yours, mine has suffered the red dot of death (the slims variant of the red light of death) so it's been sitting in my closet awaiting an eventual repair.

[@SiCVoltage]

Those Gears of War stickers are probably from a game because some Gears games include those stickers.

[@stevegonzales527]

Call of duty WaW : Last Played 5/21/20 “Imma guess it’s from 2013” 😅

[@alexenochss]

The reason you see so many gears stickers is becayse some versions of gears 2 and all of gears 3 came with a tickers anyone that was a fan basically stuck that shid on because to a late teen/early 20 yr old a skull was cool!

[@charliecooper6586]

I had those stickers on mine, in the exact same space.

[@rozasupreme]

Gears 3 came with a set of stickers in the Box.

[@nuyorican91st]

That's a very rare Xbox 360 It's a gears of War 3 nutmeg and cinnamon edition only released in romania Nice buy!

[@damian9303]

I mainly remember seeing those Gears of War stickers on the OG white 360’s

[@SkyScourgeGod]

Bro, no joke, my 360 slim (currently with a red dot of death) looks exactly the same right down to the sticker placement and the glossy black finish. This is reinforced by the fact when I got the Slim back in the day I had a plug in air freshener in the room that I put cinnamon scent into. I had to give my console a double take to make sure it was still in my closet. rofl XD

[@xMontorix]

You have a twin somewhere 😅

[@Kenneth86666]

My 360 phat (Jasper) started smelling nutmeg "ish" 6 months before it RRoD. In fact the smell filled all my room.

[@matthewwalsh1468]

Nutmeg & cinnamon Xbox 360? I guess Christmas came early for you Jakey Boy!! 😂

[@bRicKhOoousE]

I can't remember which ones had them but gear of war games came with stickers

[@davc6879]

The guys gf was a basic chick who drank a bunch of starbucks eggnog drinks 😅

[@triledink]

I picked up a xbox 360 slim in a thrift store for like 20$, it only has a single problem. While it reads discs and while you play it makes a loud sound, installing the games makes it disappear, but weirdly enough some disc games doesn't make the sound.

[@MarcoLoves360gamer]

the stickers came with gears 3 game on the box i think that would be the reason.

[@lkb6080]

Gears of war 3 had stickers inside the case

[@Auggierem]

Dude. Thats my 360!! Where did you buy it?! (Joking on the gears of war stickers in the same place as everyone elses)

[@gregward4420]

The 360 so nice it makes you hungry.

[@bestechYtBotBH]

Ahahaha 😂 nutmeg and cinnamon, code for this prev console owner had some perfume with JacobR's taste

[@jdmejhatch9391]

I’ve been stacking up on 30$ xboxs lol with games controllers too

[@archangel9187]

I have that exact one and have the same sticker on the top LOL. Thought i was looking at mine.

[@Neonplaysfps]

Whats the name of that tool kit you used to dismantle the xbox

[@VMILLENNIUM]

Incense sticks for the smell maybe

[@7.3destroyer]

Wait that looks a lot like my old 360

[@zacharybecker8228]

The stickers came with one of the games i think not 100% sure

[@MaxTheDev-f6t]

Because when 360 was popular gears of War was the top game for xbox

[@Belnick6666]

his GF gave it to goodwill after he dumped her

[@pcphoenix123]

Better cinamon than cigaret smoke smell...

[@Nighterbtw]

family member gave me a 360 and it has the same gears of war stickers lmao weird huh

[@jrob0021]

Lol I swear 50% of Xbox 360 slims have gears of war stickers

[@Nighterbtw]

@@jrob0021 lmao facts, luv the vids keep em up broski

[@CaptainTusk45]

Probably came from the Townsend's of it smells like nutmeg lol

[@legospartan3.042]

Mmmm.. Cinnamon... 😋

[@Stranger-fv2vj]

Gears of war 3,2 stickers straight up mean that console got beat the hell out of like really i also got 2 consoles like that and they had these stickers and when I've gone to the previous owner's account they were grinding for life so avoid any xbox 360 with those stickers

[@johnthefox4178]

These people don’t care about the Xbox at all I feel bad for people who buying them

[@austinsteele5971]

What happens if it turns on makes noise what happens if it doesn't make it makes noise but it's not showing

[@I_Am_DK_]

How come you started a second channel?

[@Zenfic2978]

HEY ISNT THAT MY CONSOLE???

[@clint021]

One game was played 2020

[@augustojm1860]

Interesting 😂 good vid

[@WizardoftheGhost]

Ok here's my theory. I bet this came from someone who lived with their grandparents in an old log cabin. Old ppls homes usually smell funny and the counsel was sitting there collecting old ppl skin flakes that are now all over ur room.

[@Addo666]

theres a played game that says 2020

[@Milos-family]

75th yes!! Lol

[@zerofide]

the smell is vape juice bruh
