Wow that place really is junk heaven. Well, unless you worked there... man, just imagine hearing that one song, over and over, day after day. I think that would drive me insane in short time.
I watch so many hard off videos, and nobody... explores those shelves of HiFi equipment. Ever. I just see a blur of denon pma-2000 and luxman l-550 and Sony ta-f555esx. Those Bose speakers were the closest thing I've seen to someone paying attention to all that luxury. These stores look like vintage HiFi heaven.
that is such a cool store! we NEED something like that in the UK! Must be pretty nice to live out there.... Sadly they'd never be able to put the game carts or portable game machines on the shelf like that here they'd get stolen! They'd need to be in a glass cabinet!
Awesome vid Luke! I could spend hours in that place minus the music of course. lol Anyways thanks for showing me that beautiful PSX system. That's awesome man. BTW you're vid quality had improved. =)
I need both my GameGears repaired, picked up my 2nd one several months back at a yardsale with a DSLite(I had it working) all for $10 :) the DS even came with the Guitar Hero On Tour attachment
Excellent vid Luke! Thanks for taking us to HardOff once again! It never gets old man. It's like heaven.. :P Really great footage this time, are you using a new cam? ;) The PSX system really looks yummy man...
.. I just blurted out " ITS STARTING AGAIN!" when the song looped back. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Hard Off seems like a great place to shop, but I would never be able to work there! By the way, how much do the Saturn-controllers go for at Hard Off?
What? He didn't buy anything; he was just looking, I'd say he's clearly learned a lesson. A few months back he'd have probably bought a whole load of stuff. Nice vid Luke.
After watching this, now I want to go to the book-off in Lakewood, CA... I wonder if there could be a service so we could purchase some Japanese consoles and such, maybe they would ship at the end of the month, so it gets imported to the states with other customers purchases to reduce the notorious shipping costs and everything gets sorted out in the U.S. stores and the items would either continue to ship to the customers, or be picked up at a nearby store. "Group importing" for short...
LOL, isn't it embarrassing to walk around and talk to yourself (Well, the camera) Has anyone ever confronted you about that? Great vid as usual though.
5$ for a GameGear? D8 ... that's a bargain "this place is like heaven" ... I do agree with you on that my good sir :) and a Sega Pico :D , man I haven't seen one in a while. OH! and "InnerSpace" on LaserDisc :D I'm sure I'd get stuck in there for a loooooong time :)
Hey, if you could get me that "two tone" SFC, that would be awesome! I've been looking for one, can't find one cheap. I'd obviously find a way to pay you. I don't care that it's yellow- custom paint jobs are where it's at.
at 1:51 do i see a PC engine add-on thing? i know, i shouldn't bring it up if i don't know what it's called but whatever. anyways if i was there i would have picked up the orange wonderswan if it was around 5$
hi luke, around here in my place we have a very similar shop like Hard off and i think most of its items are from there, just wanna ask how to pick a classic console like you know sometimes it doesn't work, and i don't wanna waste money on something i wouldn't even try, i really need your help man thanks
wow that is the PSX thisa is the first time i saw one :D wow and its huge is it bigger than the original xbox ? and i had a compaq pc like that but with a pentium 4 processor :D

GuitarAudiologist it's so clean how is that possible?
The ministops have an anoying jingle they play every 5 minutes too
Man i always love watching this videos of your trips to Hard Off.
I watch so many hard off videos, and nobody... explores those shelves of HiFi equipment. Ever. I just see a blur of denon pma-2000 and luxman l-550 and Sony ta-f555esx.

I could spend days digging around in that place

Thanks for this, man. Great to visit Hard Off again.I like the music too !!!!
Once again I'm digging the new camera.
Great video, that place is epic. I love the music too. I'd be jammin' out while filling up baskets with goodies.
I will never get over that name, Hard Off.
Tech Heaven for real!
Absolutely love laserdiscs.
Fascinating video, love the swanky elevator music in the shop too! :)
Thanks a lot for showing around the store, your hard off vids are always my favorite
that is such a cool store! we NEED something like that in the UK! Must be pretty nice to live out there.... Sadly they'd never be able to put the game carts or portable game machines on the shelf like that here they'd get stolen! They'd need to be in a glass cabinet!
Sweet to see more Hard off videos. It doesn't cost anything to look :)
Its great to see another vid from Luke! Let's see your game room next!
Always love the music in these places.
Wow I'm digging that place! Prices are decent. But everything appears to be very nicely displayed.
Awesome vid Luke! I could spend hours in that place minus the music of course. lol Anyways thanks for showing me that beautiful PSX system. That's awesome man. BTW you're vid quality had improved. =)

If I ever get a chance to go to Japan for a visit my first stop is Hard Off.
Awesome Store man. I lov Japan. I always tell my wife when we have enough cash, i would like to visit
Wow those PSXs' we're really somethin'. I definitely would have purchased one back in the day.
PSX is a DVR that can play playstation 1 and 2 games, and DVD's (japan only is not region free) PSP can be hooked to it as well
back on track again. nice to see :)
great video, would love to spent couple hours in the store.
Man AWESOME VID Bro that PSX looks Amazing.
wow i love your videos it makes me want to go to japan
I wish we had stores her in America with great prices like those!
oh man it's so nice to see you getting back to your old self. Going to hard off and and making driving videos again. your awesome Luke.
5/5 every time
your new cam rocks hard!
Excellent vid Luke! Thanks for taking us to HardOff once again! It never gets old man. It's like heaven.. :P Really great footage this time, are you using a new cam? ;) The PSX system really looks yummy man...
He would you mind making another video there ? ^.^ Would love to see it like 9 years later :D
dear gad what magical place is this full of wonderment?
and that boxed saturn fight stick controller thing was only 840 yen? god damn! those would sell for like 100$ in Toronto!
That music is insane
Wow! this place looks awesome.
haha the store music sounds as if you walked into the Pokemart in Pokemon.
Great video! Hard Off would be a test of will power for me; I could see myself going a little crazy in there xD
DUDE that place is freaking awesome!!! :D
I wish I lived in Japan :(
.. I just blurted out " ITS STARTING AGAIN!" when the song looped back. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Hard Off seems like a great place to shop, but I would never be able to work there!
By the way, how much do the Saturn-controllers go for at Hard Off?
I just found out Hard Off accepts US Dollars. It is also helpful how they have some signs in english. Maybe show these to people next time.
..wow so that's what hard*off looks like 10years ago..still the same i think,only prices change
The MSX (Panasonic A1FX) you show @3:15 .. I paid 4x that amount 8 years later. Also the background music reminds me of Persona 4 Golden.
I SOOOOOOOOOOOO wanna go there!
hard off needs to come to the US...that is a retro gamer/collector heaven. btw..see any reel to reel decks there?
I want to go there too
awesome vid Luke
What?
He didn't buy anything; he was just looking, I'd say he's clearly learned a lesson. A few months back he'd have probably bought a whole load of stuff.
Nice vid Luke.
What's that thing at 5:00 on the shelf. It has Pikachu on it but it says Sega Toys on it and had the PICO logo on it.
Damn I wish we had something like that here in the UK, its a retro enthusiasts paradise
It looks like a Goodwill Computer Works store mixed with GameStop
After watching this, now I want to go to the book-off in Lakewood, CA...

LOL, isn't it embarrassing to walk around and talk to yourself (Well, the camera)
Has anyone ever confronted you about that?
Great vid as usual though.
Great video as always :)
Tech heaven indeed!!
Is that red cart in the famicom section Mother? If yes, I have it.
missed oldVids like this pls
Do more.. bro.
great video man.
Man! Would love a PSX!! I saw them on eBay for 3x that plus shipping!! Does Hard-Off have any warrenty or all as-is?
good stuff thanks luke
Nice, Hard Off always makes for a good vid.
I need that Pico, ive got like 8 games for it..
did all japanese places play this kind of music cause i remember back when playing shenmue they always played music like this when you entered stores
5$ for a GameGear? D8 ... that's a bargain
"this place is like heaven" ... I do agree with you on that my good sir :)
and a Sega Pico :D , man I haven't seen one in a while.
OH! and "InnerSpace" on LaserDisc :D
I'm sure I'd get stuck in there for a loooooong time :)
the max looks cool
Hey, if you could get me that "two tone" SFC, that would be awesome! I've been looking for one, can't find one cheap. I'd obviously find a way to pay you. I don't care that it's yellow- custom paint jobs are where it's at.
seems to work out like that here if u see a super nintendo sum where its all insane there its in junk bins.
man i love that music
Hey bro u need like some spy glasses with a
Mini cam inside to record better
at 1:51 do i see a PC engine add-on thing? i know, i shouldn't bring it up if i don't know what it's called but whatever. anyways if i was there i would have picked up the orange wonderswan if it was around 5$
dude,,i wanted that saturn, and the dreamcast.....
Everytime I hear the background music, it always reminds me of the Tomato Convenience Store from Shenmue :)
Woohoo! Another Hard Off video! You rock, Luke!
hi luke, around here in my place we have a very similar shop like Hard off and i think most of its items are from there, just wanna ask how to pick a classic console like you know sometimes it doesn't work, and i don't wanna waste money on something i wouldn't even try, i really need your help man thanks
I always thought the idea of second-hand goods was abhorrent in Japan.
there was a virtual boy by the place where I live for 25$ but it didn't have the controller. should I get it?
Awesome vid :D
I saw blade runner laserdisc there :)
hey wats dat thing at 5:03 it has a playstation logo on the box and i so want to know wat it is
Hard Off, in high definition! Wow, geeking out to the extreme! :D
Shame you never got the other PSX you got from Hard Off, working.
dude, are you limping?
Hurt your leg?
Thanks for another great Hard Off vid. :)
Awesome indeed. Oh well, I'm gonna get mine modded.
the only thing is it's a pawn shop and I'm not sure it works.

Just checked ebay and the PSXs at hard off suerely sound like good deals...damnit

You know in that dvd player isle.
