So, of course, to start with, we have our pristine, brand new, in box Xbox 360, 4GB with Kinect. I mean, the last part was true. When it comes to building the ultimate console, one of the most important things is to find something that is compatible with the most accessories. And even though you can get some stuff with the original Xbox 360, as well as the Super Slim this is defintely going to be our best bet. Oh boy, what a wonderful packing job. Okay, well, the first thing we're gonna find here is actually one of the weirdest Xbox 360 accessories, the original Kinect. Man, this is disgustingly dirty. Can you see the level of scratches on this? Does that come up on camera? It looks like someone's, like, rubbed this thing down with sandpaper. But hey, at least we got it for a smooth $20. Thanks Ken. Obviously, this is the way you've gotta play your Xbox. Ugh! Why is it so dirty? Dude, there's like... I can literally see dust, like, collected inside the fan here. Could've found us a cleaner Xbox. (sprayer noise) Okay, so now that we have a slightly cleaner Xbox, the first accessory has to be Kinect. Now this is a really weird one. Not only was this by far the biggest accessory available for the 360, but in some ways it was a pretty big success but in a lot of ways, it was kind of a failure. So it came out in 2010, several years after the Xbox 360 came out, and the idea here is that with the series of cameras and sensors it would basically turn you into the controller. There was this famous demo at E3 before this was announced back in what was called project Natal, where they had this kid skateboarding in his room using nothing but his body as the controller, and it looked super, super awesome. Of course, as with nearly all of these demos, it wasn't quite as good as it sort of seemed once you actually got your hands on it. Thus, this was picked up for $20 in a bargain bin somewhere. But, before we get to that we have to finish upgrading our Xbox 360, and the first thing we're going to do is put in a bigger hard drive. So back in these days, Microsoft sold internal hard drives that you could install yourself because for some wonderful reason, this Xbox 360 was shipping with only 4GB of capacity. Mostly so they could actually bundle Kinect in the box. Which as you can imagine, for a more modern console, not exactly a lot of storage. So if you flip over the 360, there's a little panel here where you can drop in a hard drive. So this guy is going to give us 500GB capacity, although, as always, we're gonna go above that. But, it's an easy way of getting a lot more storage in what is really a very difficult Xbox to use if you don't have at least some kind of SSD or HDD or USB... yeah, that's all the things, right? HDD, USB, SSD. So something interesting is, is that even though the Xbox One doesn't allow you to install an internal hard drive the 360 always did. So you remember the original fat Xbox 360 actually had the top-mounted hard drives, which were really easy to pop on and off, but with the slim they moved to the sort of cartridge design which realistically is just a two and a half inch laptop drive that you just slide in something like... that. And because of course we're trying to build the ultimate Xbox 360, near 5MB of capacity is definitely not going to be enough, which is where the Seagate game drive comes in. So this is a 500GB SSD. Now this is typically meant for the Xbox One as it does have a USB 3.0, and it's actually going to be faster than the internal drive. However, this is before USB 3.0. So instead, we're hooking up a 500GB USB 2.0 SSD. So that'll be fast. The Xbox 360 was the last of the major consoles to stick with only dual layer DVD support, and that was fine for stuff like the PS2, but when it came to the 360, while most games were able to fit on a single DVD quite a few actually did need to ship on multiple discs. However, unlike the PS3 which had Blu-ray support, that was nowhere to be found on the 360 and thus, this wonderful ridiculous accessory was born. The Xbox HD DVD player. So for those of you who are not familiar with the HD DVD format, this was essentially the competitor to Blu-ray back in the day. Thus the HD DVD name. Pretty clever, I know. Are you serious? It looks like a mini, fat, Xbox360! Oh, I never realized that. I've never actually seen one of these in person. Yo, I mean, it doesn't match with this at all, but that is so cool! Now it's time to connect this. So we've got our power adapter, we've also got our second part of the power adapter, and then it connects via mini USB. This whole thing feels straight out of 2006. So when it first came out, the HD DVD add-on was a pretty impressive $200. Which still actually probably would have been cheaper than a lot of the HD DVD players at the time, but of course it went absolutely nowhere and thus we have Blu-ray and I have a really ridiculous player that... we have a game for. Oh sorry, no, actually they didn't make games for it. Right, so this is only for movies, I forgot. Do we have a movie for it? March of the Penguins. Okay, so this is one of the very few HD DVDs that existed. So, one of the only real issues with the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One of today still, is that they run on AA batteries. Although thankfully, we have a way around that too. This is the Nyko Charge Base S. So in addition to giving you two rechargeable batteries in the box, it's also going to be a little dock we can actually charge our controllers with. It just feels so weird to be opening up all these old accessories that have clearly been sitting around some, like, Amazon back room for like five years. But, it's okay, they're gonna have a better life now. So, I don't think.. that's not gonna fit. Whatever, this one will fit. So, you can see what this is supposed to look like if you don't have your giant Chatpad on. Now, with all these accessories connected to our Xbox 360, one might worry that it might get a little bit warm, perhaps, get a little bit of a red ring of death perhaps, even though this is a slim and doesn't actually, physically have red rings to do that with, well in that case, we have an inner cooler. You know, that wonderful accessory that we've tried on many, many, many occasions and has never done anything. Let's try it here! So the claim to fame with this one isn't so much to allow the temperatures to run a little bit cooler when you're normally using your Xbox 360, but for when you've got it in a confined space it's supposed to direct hot air away from the console. Okay, so this is a pretty small inner cooler, I will say, so basically you've got one fan on the inside which actually kind of looks like a GPU fan, and then I guess it sort of mounts onto the sides, like that?
