Anyone else ever found consoles at a bookstore? Lol
Can I give you my Xbox 360 because I don't want it.
A wii 😅
You place looks different. Did you move?
@@RockDigger-bn2lgit’s a hotel he is staying at since he moved temporary for something
Hey Jacob I wanted to know if you plan on selling the PS3 from this video and if you are I am interested in buying it because my cousins are big fans of that TMNT reshelled game and it is no longer available to download and there were no disc copies made of it either. Please let me know thank you so much :)
Do NOT format that PS3, Turtles in Time Re-Shelled was delisted in 2011.
i’m sure the CBOMB would’ve made it unplayable already, the batteries in CECHAs are from 2006…
There are two superior versions of Turtles in Time on the Cowabanga Collection. Might be nice as a novelty, but it’s not worth it otherwise.
I’m sure if your formats it’s still there if it’s default from the console anyways I think idk
Danny pulling the middle finger was jokes 😂😂
Also, FYI, Ninja Turtles Turtles in Time ReShelled was Delisted in 2011.
You do know that if you owned it before it was delisted you can delete and redownload it whenever you feel like it. I'll never get people who hilariously are scared to delete anything as if it disappears forever. Delisting is just to prevent new sales
@lutherheggs451 that is until said servers for the console are pulled. If Jacob deletes the game off that PS3 there is no getting it back lol (.both because there are no longer any PS3 servers and it's not his profile lol). I lost a few 3DS titles because I didn't upgrade my 3DS storage in time to download the other games.
If you are talking about PC gaming, then yes there is a higher chance of being able to re-download as many times as you please, but yet again if it is tied to a certain service and that service goes down then you can say goodbye to the game if you do end up deleting.
@@lutherheggs451 Assuming you have the account's credentials sure. But if he factory resets it he has no way of getting the PSN account back on the console not having the email and pw
@@TheCommanderTaco🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
And besides just get an old PS3 and mod it. You can download the rom of the game. So who cares if it's delisted.
I’ve been to McKay’s in Chattanooga. I found out the hard way that they test NOTHING. We bought New Super Mario Bros U while we were there visiting friends. We brought it home only to have it say that it was an unknown disc or whatever the message is. It takes us quite a while to bring it back but this was right when the Russia/Ukrane war started to the gas price was janked up. I returned the game and tried to get another one. I brought a couple just in case. The first one had a scratch so I chose not to get that one, but the second one looked Ok. We brought it home and it worked. Finally! That was the third copy I ever bought because the first one was a GameStop that was closing and I got a good deal on a coaster because there were holes in the label.
I will go back to McKay’s for books, music, games etc, but I am a little more aware of what I should buy from them. A console is not one of them unless it was a decent looking handheld for a reasonable price (it won’t be so no!)
Wild stuff... speaking of handhelds, their handheld prices were crazy. If I recall, they were selling poor condition DS lites for like $80.
Bought an n64 in Nashville, and it didn't come with the av cable, and the cartridge slot was so dirty it didn't read games. After getting a cable and cleaning the contacts, it worked pretty well. They sold me a third-party controller as an oem controller, which wasn't cool, but I used road trip credit, so I wasn't too bent about it
@jrob0021 their home consoles aren't terrible, but their handhelds are way overpriced. Their cartridge games are also wayyyyy marked up. Haven't had any issues with disc games that weren't sold as scratched so I can't comment to that. Been going to the Chattanooga and Nashville stores for years
the middle finger at 10:29 lmao
The cameraman gave the finger lol
At least they’re a bookstore and not a big corporation claiming they’ve refurbished these bad boys
You mean like dk oldies 👀
I live near a Mckays & I’ve been to all 5. They started as book stores but over the years they sell anything. Books , Music , DvD’s , Video Games , Collectibles , Guitars , Monitors, Speakers & More. I’ve always had a good experience with them and I’ve been shopping at the one in Chattanooga , Tennessee for over 10 years now. As far as I know they don’t claim to clean the discs or refurbish the consoles so they didn’t lie about it they just aren’t going the extra mile that they should.
Feel like that seems reasonable for a bookstore since you wouldn't expect them to train their employees for such stuff. Does seem a bit scummy though in the regards someone could trade in a broken console for some cash that the store will eventually sale to a customer.
@@TheCommanderTaco They test the games and consoles to make sure they work but as far as I’ve been told by the employees there , no cleaning is done to the discs or consoles. So it just comes as is. Some of the prices I will agree are too high to not even be wiped down with a disinfecting wipe. So the games do work but they might have like a smudge or finger print of them. I think the return policy is 7 days for cash back or 30 days for store credit.
I will say that there practices aren’t great but they only have 5 locations & they aren’t even all owned by the same person. Definitely deserved to be called out for not cleaning the stuff but comparing them to a big corporate company like GameStop really isn’t the way I’d go with it is what I was trying to get at lol. I would like to add that the locations in TN seem to be way better than the ones in NC.
I didn’t expect anything to be refurbished, but I did expect it to be tested and working…
@@jrob0021 I wasn’t trying to be rude or hating in the comments I made. I was just sharing my personal experience. I’ve bought an Xbox 360 , 3DS & a few other consoles from my local Mckays and while I will say they definitely weren’t clean they did work. I just wanted to put this out there so people would know not every Mckays is bad. I’m sorry your experience was bad cause this is one of my favorite stores which is why I’m passionate about it is all!
There was a McKay in Greensboro. It closed down
I go to the one in Mebane. The one in Mebane is a good location
I grew up near the one in Chattanooga, but now I live closer to Nashville. Chattanooga is still wiped from the road trip, but Nashville has decent stock
Now we wait for the inevitable GameStop clone car dealership VroooooooooooooooooooomStop, they also sell Wiis
Shhh. Don't give Elon any bright ideas...oh never mind people were already trying to play video games while "driving" lol.
The fact they don't package the system up properly is criminal. Those consults are definitely damaged
I bought 4 360s from McKays, 2 phats and 2 slims. i only tested the slims and 1 of the phats since i dont have a power brick for the other phat. 1 slim works perfectly fine (i'm using it now to play Dead Rising 1), 1 slim works but has a messed up disc drive (I don't think it's completely broken but somehow got knocked out of place), and the phat works but has a stuck disc drive. granted, these were from the untested section. but they're pretty good for what they are and can be even better after we open them up and work on them.
BC consoles are always worth fixing. New 3rd party compatible Blu-Ray drives go for like ~$20.
True, a BR is the least of your concerns.
You know there is a McKays closer to you over in Mebane, NC. Right off 85, same exit as the Tanger Outlets. Other side of the interstate. You can return it to the Mckays for store credit.
yeh I'd like to check it out one day, but it's a bit too far from me
I love that location
@@jrob0021 Wait a second... youre from NC??
Those poor machines have seen unspeakable horrors.
I live right outside of Knoxville and go to Mckays constantly, there broken console section is a steal, they don’t test many things and you can get 360s as cheap as 15 bucks. Even if they don’t work a for parts one for other consoles is still decent.
1:07 it’s my console ❤
Prove it
That TMNT game is a remake of an arcade game.
Mckays is WAY more than a bookstore. They have a ton of media, vinyl, etc.
hopefully their other stuff is not as garbage as their video games 😂
@jrob0021 their games seem to be a mixed bag, but I've never had a terrible experience with them. Sucks that there aren't many good retro game stores in the Nashville area, pretty much makes McKays all we got
incredible how he gets a backcompat ps3 and just says "im gonna return it" instead of cleaning the laser and the belt??
hes got like 2 or 3 in nice condition at his office i imagine
@@thetinman-1 he could have 3 or 4 if he just cleaned this one out too though
@@LUIGIMAN309 maybe i guess but maybe hes gonna sell it
I’d spend the money to fix that thing back up
On PS3’s check the trophies to see what games they’ve played.
Imagine wanting to be GameStop when GameStop is dying
I've been to McKay's back when I lived in Tennessee, it wasn't too bad but wasn't great.
It's still one of my favorite physical media stores, love getting CDs, DVDs, and used games here
You know today its going to be a good one when j rob uploads
These videos are getting better every time!
In muy country we would pay 100 bucks for that PS3 consolé and another 75 for the 360 on that state.
that thumbnail has a bit too much of a mrbeast vibe 😬
He changed it
@@vpproductions6544 you're right, way better now
If a store is being compared to GameStop then that means it's very very bad.
A Scam to Surpass GameStop.
My friend found a sealed copy of Abe’s Oddysee (PS1) there for $10
Its literally the only game store that exists practically. I wouldn't expect it to have anything to do with being a "sign of quality" BUT I also wouldn't go to a book store expecting, clean, refurbished used consoles.
A book store does not care about collecting or collectors or really much beyond someone wants to get rid of something and is too lazy or doesn't feel like spending the time to get rid of it themselves. Much like a pawn shop, they're not there to give you market value or what you think its worth, they're taking something someone is too lazy to sell themselves if they wanted more money
It does that after being off for a long time, it's a known problem with that specific ps3 . It happened to me after not using it in years.
Don't recall ever buying a console from a "bookstore", but these days, many so-called "bookstores" sells much more than books. However, still have my backwards-compatible PS/3 and yes, 4.91 is the latest (just fired mine up and checked). Just checked and all supported discs work (the "black" PS/1, the "blue" and "silver" PS/2, and PS/3). It was originally an 80-gig model, but I've upgraded the drive to 320 gigs, especially since the original 80-gig drive died. I still do have the original drive on hand, though. However, I would not mind finding another controller for it, though. Something that is in better shape than the beat-up one that I currently still have.
that suxs, your ps3 is sold already
I said the same thing
I abaolutely adore McKays. They are not a repair shop and don't claim to be, but if you go in looking for specific things and walk away if you don't find them, it is one of my favorite places on Earth.
Bet that that was the librarians sons Xbox 360 and PS3 😂.
I had that 360 back in the day lol, traded that sucker in when the one came out
McKay's is usually my last stop on retro hunting days in Nashville. Don't go there looking for deals. Their prices are steep, but I usually end up finding the last item or 2 on my list that I couldn't find anywhere else.
I mean you’re technically going to get what you paid for with the 360. $90 outside of an auction is kinda unreal
I have a couple Ed McKays (their original name) near me and while I’ve never tried a console from them I’ve bought like 20 PS3 games over the last couple years because they often have some solid games and gems for DIRT CHEAP compared to pricecharting. That’s the only draw in my eyes honestly.
I haven't been to that mckays since like 2018-2019 so it's a been a minute so it's great to see my home state getting some love it made my day 😁
What, there's dust in my 20 year old system, OH NO
Didn't know you were a soccer fan!! (based on the shirt lol) Love your videos!
Next time you’re in TN check out one of The Great Escape Records & Comics locations, all of their used systems are cleaned and tested before they put them out for sale
That MW3 360 was a premium package and should have two Mw3 gamepads . I paid $140 for mine on ebay and it was boxed and complete .
I hadnt seen retailers show me the game disc since before Electronics Boutique was bought out by GameStop.
They show you the disc to ensure the disc that you are purchasing is in good shape. After Gamestop bought out EB games, I've had issues with games being unreadable. The one time I had a disc that was sold to me that had cigarette burns all over it as it was used as a resting surface for the previous owners habits. I got the return after a little bit of arguing with the gamestop employee and manager. I dont even smoke. ffs
As for the DVD drive on the PS3. The mechanisms for the dvd drives easily get dirty over time and will have issues with taking in and ejecting discs. Dirty drives get even worse as it sits and doesnt get used.
People often throw shade at the PS3 Super slim. Yes the sliding door mechanism isnt the best but at least the super slim doesnt face the dirty drive mechanism issue which can be a pain to clean sometimes.
Buys consoles from bookstore, can't look/examine said consoles as they are sealed in box, all sorts of red flags, gets back to room to find out they don't work, shocked pikachu face, mess around and find out...
Why don’t you put me first FOR ONCE
I see this store every time I visit home. It popped up recently and I’ve been wondering about it 😂
No packing materials in the box 😂that’s no good
I bought it in person, it didn’t need to have packaging
I thought this was going to be on half price books tbh
My dad, brother and I love going to McKay's in Knoxville, since its a 30 minute drive. I usually go there to buy their AS-IS consoles to see if I can fix them, actually found a Xbox 360 xenon motherboard console which had the NXE dashboard. Sold the Xbox 360 almost a year ago, kind of regret it.
I used to have an MW3 Xbox 360, I loved it
Lol this is my McKay’s
my laptop would fry that baseus adapter as it requires 330 watts of power which is 110 watts more than that adapter is rated for
With Mckay's it's a very buyer beware situation they are basically like a giant pawn shop, they take in so much stuff they have a system like five guys when selling stuff to them, it's basically take a number and wait.
YOOO I REMEMBER MCKAYS!! I went there every once in awhile!
I've been to a McKay's in Winston-Salem, and it's one of my favorite places to go!
LOL the mw3 console with the controller was my controller that i sold i remeber those grips
9:28 that game is 🔥
From now on, you should always randomly show us the disc condition like you did here at 10:19 lol no matter disc it is, just show us randomly lol
0:10 i use to live in Tennessee and honestly mckays was my go to place for nostalgia from my teenage years like when i got the ps3
You looked pretty chilled today or you were Stoned As F 😂
Early 2006 i got a used PS2 from game stop that was caked in dust and cig smell. Took it back for a refurbished one that lasted. Also do miss the Hastings store.
the guy showing you the disk it for if the disk are messed up to hell you can see it i go to half price book store to get movies and games and they do that so you now how it looks so if you still what to buy it or not but i would say half price books is a good one if your ever near one
Half price books is perfect. Waiting till mine has a gameboy.
The outside looks like my CECHA01..........
Those prices were way too high. The consoles however just need a good servicing.
Yea I live in Knoxville and I went to McKays and got a grape n64 and got it home it didn’t even work and I paid almost 200 for it. I was mad
Shout-out to the UK Music Magpie. Had quite a few good consoles off them and the only problem I've had was a Dualshock 4 with stick drift. PS4 controllers are like £15 for a genuine new one, and I've got a third party one that has USB C connections, so it was trivial to replace that one.
Turtles in time was delisted pretty early in the 2010's. It didnt had any physical release, and someone could be looking at a way to play this game tbh. TMNT Turtles in time on SNES is a big banger.
i wish i was as happy at any time in my life as you are when a console is not banned
Lmao the title and thumbnail are legendary 😂😂❤❤
I bought Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3D Blast for the Sega Genesis and a Sonic 1 manual their McKays (the one in Nashville)is a good bookstore and the copy of 3D Blast has a sticker from Movie Gallery
I think it's a pretty awful business decision really for them to not test consoles etc.. Can imagine people will intentionally sell faulty consoles etc in order to get cash for them and then the sucker who buys them has to go to through the trouble of returning it.
To be honest, I never even knew McKay's sold consoles.
That ps3 gives me 2nd and Charles vibes
i love mckay's i went there in greensboro, nc...i thought they had great deals
It's Just Cause as in fighting for a good cause, not just cause as in just because. I cant believe I have to tell you this.
I love Mckays...best thing about them....awesome return policy. Its not a bookstore by the way. Yeah, they sell books, but they are a buy/sell/trade store.
I would love to see your official price on that PS3.
How do you order from them? They have a website but there is no way to order.
Did they have to price it at 191.95? That was random 🤣 😂
The exchange is way worse
In Indianapolis?
@@TravelsByTransit Erie
Got them in Texas too. I agree 🤣 ironically it’s like 2 blocks from a GameStop. Same street just down the road opposite side 🤣
@@bannankev yeah lol I got one in pa and it sucks
@@TravelsByTransit you been to the the one on Washington street? East side?
I tried to repeat the trick from the video and now I have a new record: breaking a vase and laughing until I cry🍭
Classic Landon Donovan Shirt … USMNT I Believe
I have not, and now certainly would not, buy from this establishment lol.
Just bought A PS3 slim to play the InFamous game series, bought an InFamous Series collection, bought a charging cable for the controller in the PS3 Slim bundle, I bought all of this early in the mourning on ebay, the InFamous series collection is already shipped. one done maybe i'll get into other PS3 exclusives but i'll just install them instead of getting a disc. I'll also be Jailbreaking it if it isn't already to get more advantages. I would've gone for a Super Slim but I read that their not so great when jailbroken. but at east the Slim display 1080p and not 1080pi
(edit: I'll possibly even have it to be my go to Blu-ray and DVD player since I have yet to find again the remote to my basic Samsung Blu-ray player)
Super Slims can't be jailbroken with CFW at all, they can only use PS3HEN. SOME Slims can be jailbroken with CFW, but not all. Personally I have a phat due to it being the one that can have CFW no matter the model number. It doesn't have PS2 compatibility at all, but CFW can fix that too. I put a 500GB SSD in it.
@@SuperNerdAdamsGarage I bought a Slim NOT a super slim
@@cydragon2.099 I misread it, my bad

@@SuperNerdAdamsGaragegot 2 CECHE01 models. Both with CFW/Cobra 4.91 mods. I enjoy downloading games with the PKGi mod but I wish they’d update the list of games.
I love going to Mckay's cause it's the only place close to where I'm at that sells physical PC games and CDs but even I will be real here, their prices have gotten bad to the point where I barely go now. Most expensive thing I bought from there was a copy of Majora's Mask and that was cause it was the only store that had it at the time.
McKay's has a good selection of books, music and other stuff. While the electronics are hit or miss it's a great store.
It was a really cool store when we were inside. It was jam packed at like 2pm on a Monday. Just sucks that their video game stuff is getting sold in this shape lol. Would actually be a great place to pick up video games/consoles if they were in good shape. Their prices weren't too bad
@@jrob0021 oh definitely. Their prices are decent on other stuff are decent. Which location you go to? The West Knoxville location?
Speaking of ripped off, I've been ripped off by the Gamescom showcase. (Expecting a new Sonic 3 trailer)
Those BC PS3's are really hanging by a bump lol.
Most gamestops from my area quit selling DS/3DS games, and yet they still sell Star Wars. Anime, and comic book crap instead of retro games. I’ll start supporting other second hand stores instead of gamestop 😡😡
Maybe the guy scanning all your stuff watches your videos and figured he should show you the condition of the disc at the store so you could say "no thanks" if it was very scratched up, or straight up cracked
It's possible, some people however understand that scratched up discs are not wanted.
The dust, dirt and grime is a feature that is included in the console. Cleaning it will ruin it and depreciate the value.😮
wait a bookstore sells gaming consoles now? lol
they sell other stuff i saw it on a comment
@@silasrose290 interesting very interesting to me
we love you jacob ❤❤❤
Mckays have alway sold games music and books for years. they had system for people to check to see if the game work. and they would let you look at the cd before you buy it if you want it or not. that why they flash it to you when he scan it to see if you like how the cd was looking before you bought it. but they just started selling system within the past years or so.
It's nice they show you the condition of the disc, but the guy at the counter just flashed the disc at me with no explanation or anything lol. I just stared at him for a few seconds until I realized he wanted me to approve of the condition 😂
GameStop? More like JunkStop!
Um, yeah... if they're going to sell used consoles they can at the very least clean them externally.
I love that store but I'm going for books and records
I know the McKay’s store! I’ve been there before!
who the hell would wannabe a gamestop?
Hey MW3 limited edition? Well, well, well, I have the MW2 Limited Edition Pre-release console!
