Another Xbox 360 Console, Somebody Stop Me!

 Today I had a Dr. Appt. and I decided that on my way home, since I was going to go right past a Salvation Army, I might as well stop in. Picked up some great Sealed Movies, a PS2 IHRA Drag Racing game and Another Xbox 360 E Console with a Kinect.

Xbox 360 E w/Kinect

For $25.00

As I have mentioned before, the "E" Model of the Xbox 360 was the 3rd iteration of the console, and in my personal opinion, the best iteration.

Console and Kinect both power on

No Bonus game this time.

If you look down in the Right Corner, you can see the Kinect works fine as well.

I know have 9 Xbox 360 Consoles.........

Fun with Controllers

 Here are a few controllers that have been added to my collection (Semi) recently

I have been playing alot of arcade puzzle games such as Bejeweled, Bejeweled 2, Boggle and one of my favorite puzzle game series of all time, Tetris Effect on Game Pass. So I decided to get a dedicated controller for those type of games. The standard Xbox One controller works, but this new one works and feels so much better when playing these kinds of games.

Another Power A Controller 

Their "Fusion Fight Pad"

It was on Sale for $29.99 on Amazon

It is wired, the wire is 10 feet long, If I was any further away from the TV I wouldn't see it clear anyway, Old Man Club! I have it plugged into one of the USB ports on the back of my Original Xbox One, and it does not effect when I am using one of my wireless controllers as a main one.

 But once I pulled out the controller, I saw this?

And Underneath

a Second white controller cover?

I did not know it came with this. It just uses the magnets on the back to switch covers

Cool Bonus, I prefer the Black one of course.

Just pull up here with a fingernail to change.

In the above picture you can also see the switch to set which input you want the D-Pad to be

So as I was playing with some controllers, I realized I only have One PS4 controller. And as I was out I had been noticing that the stores seemed to have less and less,  Then I saw this one online, I Want One!

A Walmart exclusive transparent blue PS4 controller

It was available online and in store, so I figured I would just wait till I went to Walmart again.

Big Mistake.........

I Did not see one at my local Walmart on my next visit, nor the other Walmart  that is semi near me, and when I went online to order one, Sold Out....... Ugh......

I did not care much for the colors that were available, then I found this for $75 at Walmart

A Fifa Controller Bundle

I sold the DLC Codes for the game and extra gold bonus things for $25.00

So I got a brand new PS4 controller as a back up, for $50.00, less than buying a new one separately

Then as my luck goes two weeks later I was at Savers, and they had this

A used, but in box PS4 controller.

I took it out of the box and looked it over, pressed the buttons and decided to roll the dice. And as a bonus when I got up to the register, I gave them my phone number to access my Savers Club and turned out I had a 20% off coupon, Nice! So it turned out to be $24.99.

Synched it to my PS4 console and it works just fine.

Hey, now I have 2 backup controllers

And I have to end on this one, because the Xbox 360 is my main focus, for $2.99

A White Wired Xbox 360 Controller

Needs new sticks, but of course I have extras. I also have a Black wired controller I bought years ago as a backup, but for $2.99 it is nice to add a white one to the collection as well.

It's Raining Xbox 360 S Consoles

 It was quite the week for Xbox 360 Console pickups

Lat Friday I was perusing the internet and I found a listing on Mercari for an Xbox 360 S Console. It was the Special Edition White Xbox 360 S, And I figured since I did not yet have an S Model 360 in my collection, I have 3 of the original Fat Models and 2 E Models so why not?  $120.00 and it included the box and everything, plus 5 games. It came via UPS yesterday, Wednesday.

Believe it or not, this is my first Kinect unit.

5 Games and all the inserts, Smilie face is the Kinect set up card

Exclusive to this Edition White controller with Light Gray Thumbsticks and D-Pad

The Unit and Kinect

This thing is in immaculate condition. I would say hardly used. 

But as my luck would have it, the day before this arrived, I was out Thrifting at my favorite Salvation Army, and they happened to have 2 of the S model 360's in Black.

They were marked at $24.99 Each

And they both were in great shape.

One only had a Power supply taped to it, the other had the Power Supply, A/V Cords and a controller in a separate bag. Since they were in the glass case in the electronics section, they took them up and kept them behind the registers until I came to check out. And after that I found several original Xbox games Halo, Halo 2 and a Halo 2 Collectors Edition as well as a nice PS3 copy of The Last of Us, all for me to resell since I already had them.

When I went to check out, they were stacked on top of each other, with the bag for the one on top. The bag was unmarked and she asked if it went with it, I said "Yes it goes with one of them" My exact words. However, she rang it all up (BOTH Xbox's and the Bag of Accessories) for just $24.99! I figured you know what, it isn't my job to police the employees and smiled all the way out to the car knowing that I had just paid $12.50 each for 2 Xbox's.

Took them home, hooked them up and both work great, and are very very clean consoles.

I had picked up an A/V cable for a Xbox 360 S for a couple bucks at Savers last summer some time, so I just need to pair one of the extra controllers I have in storage to have two complete working Consoles. I am going to Resell one of them with a couple common games for $100.00.

I think I will keep the other, I mean why not have both a Black and a White Xbox 360 S?

Update: Sold one of them with 3 common games for, $120.00 Cssh!
