Would you buy an Xbox 360 still? USEFUL LINKS ⬇ UA-cam Roadmap to Success (Make $10,000 per month) - www.millionairemoney.co.uk/youtube-roadmap-to-success Wallpapers & Drippin' Merch - benrowlands.uk/ Behind the Scenes - instagram.com/benrowlands.uk/
Personally, I don't think so! XBOX Series S is my go-to option, even for old games. Game Pass and backwards compatibility offer great opportunities to experience older games on the new consoles.
Yes. So many great games can only be played on the PS3/Xbox 360, with one of my favorites being the Forza Motorsport franchise, being some of the few that never got backwards compatible support and have a huge following. I was in middle school/high school for most of the era, so I'm a bit more partial to my experiences and memories with older games and consoles.
I just bought an e from my local pawn show last week. I use my ps5 so I just need the e for a few exclusives. Luckily the one/series systems haven't had an real exclusives.
I don't understand why everyone says that nobody bought this version, since it came out in 2013 I got mine, shortly after I sold it to get the One, and years later I got this 360 model again and at least here in my city this model circulates a lot for years, even today. The best version of the 360 without a doubt.
I tend to find that these videos are made by people who were barely out of nappies in the time period that they are discussing. They essentially only have book knowledge.
You are so shocked with 30 FPS gameplay??? I started my home video game experience with a pong game that hooked up to a black and white tv... Then I upgraded to an Atari 2600.
I never sell older consoles, and even if Microsoft did an incredible job with retrocompatibility, I still proudly possess a Xbox 360 (my third one actually), along with the OG Xbox from 2001.
agreed i understand that they have backwards compatibility, but sometimes i just really wanna feel that retro, and play my games on my 360. i mean if that were not the case, people would stop buying record players, and companies wouldn't be releasing remaster lps.
I got one when it came out and loved it. I was only 13 at the time and it was quite a bit cheaper than the Xbox one and my parents got me this one instead. It turned out to be the best choice ever because all my friends were still on 360 and nobody I knew was getting an Xbox one. I pretty much only played black ops 2 for about 2-3 years on this 360 machine with all my friends after school
Opposite for me. Nobody knew about xbox. It was only playstation 3 and 4. Xbox was a nobody in my country. Only one or two. It rearly had xbox gameRs. Xbox was only for the US..around the world. It's been playstation winning the war.
NEVER THE LESS. This console was amazing. This was the only console that had 4 SPLIT SCREENS. PS ONLY had 2. Xbox 360 had 4 so everyone with big families like mines. Could play local multiple. Halo/call of duty etc. NOW THE NEW CONSOLE. only adding 2 player and online games. Halo 5 didn't have 4 person multi-player on the xbox one. I ask my friend and he said Halo 5 don't have 4person splits. Which sucks. I still have my xbox running good. Every now and then the console freezes when playing too long. But hey no red ring of death😂👍
I remember when I was in hs back in the late 2000s we rocked cod waw nazi zombies. Boy did we grow up so fast. Enjoy being young my man you don’t get those times back
Yeah I was 14 when it came out and got this model too. I eventually got an Xbox One when I was 18 (I already had a PS4 by this point, but I collect consoles so I needed the One for my collection) and the 360 is SO much better. I only have maybe 10 games for my One, whereas I have over 150 PS4 games and 90 360 games lmao
This was actually my first 360. I was born in 2002, and I had this mentality of hating things that were "new" by the time I was, like, 8. I basically refused to upgrade from my trusty PS2 for the entire 360/PS3 generation because of that. That was until 2013. I was 11, and by then the One and PS4 were coming. I no longer perceived the 360 as "new", so that's when I finally asked for one lol. I didn't get a PS4 until April of 2022 for that same reason. Some things just never change I suppose.
I bought a 360 E about a year ago on ebay. I bought it because my 360 launch model was dying. I've been pleasantly surprised with how quiet the 360 E is, especially when you install a game to either the hard drive or memory stick... I still see value in having a 360 because not every game was made backward compatible due to licensing issue; the Star Trek and James Bond games specifically...
@@alanrichardson6561 it is the longest lastest and most comfortable controller i have ever owned. i still use the controller i got with my 360 slim in 2011 for some pc single player games. the thumbsticks are obviously worn but mechanically everything still works just fine. meanwhile i have to replace xbox one controllers every 2-3 years because something always breaks.
@@alanrichardson6561 i could put 2 AA's in it, and game on the 360 controller with chat pad for a week. i don't think you have any clue what you are talking about.
3:16 Xbox did have ads on the 360, It was known to be extremely annoying because most ads on the 360 weren't even gaming related! At least ads on the modern-day dashboard are based on gaming.
I have never owned a Xbox and never will I have a computer for that and as always a playstation but this system was a game changer for online and online marketplace because that was the first time Sony knew they fucked up with online for my boy Sony, for them it was a afterthought not built around the experience like the 360 I'm a Sony loyalist but weekends at my cousin's playing halo 1 2 3 odst and reach was my teen years, left for dead, gears my god good times, because the PS4 online chats and groups feel like 360 era, if the PS3s online was the same Sony would have won again but I'm glad because online gaming would be shitty as a whole if not for Xbox so thanks Microsoft....-a playstation loyalist who is still salty about the cods maps coming out way after the xbox's during this battle.......
I love mine. I didn't realize they were fairly uncommon. I have the hdd maxed out with stuff. One thing I hate about these last few generations of consoles is that it's hard to figure out how to make physical backups of your data. I have anxiety thinking about suddenly losing all the digital content I paid hundreds, probably thousands of dollars for over the last decade. Someday those servers are going to shut down and it'll be gone forever if you aren't prepared. That's why I still much prefer physical game media.
Can u just buy extra 4TB memory card or external hard drive and download and save your games there? Also if the lisence of the games are under your gamer profile can they just dissappear as long as u have your profile? I understand that if u havent downloaded your games they can but if u have should not make difference since discs are also there anymore for confirming your lisence. U dont play tge game from disc like in olden days, thats why u need to download them to your hardrive anyways before being able to play them.
I still have 5 360 consoles, of which 2 are E, and I also just recently discovered that version. By the way, all of them are equipped with external disc drives of 1 and 2 teras. They are fine.
Today I bought my xbox No. 5!😂 I just love that machine. I've got 3 elites and 2 slims. Although I also own a PS5 the 360 is still something special for me.
My first Xbox ever was the 360 S that I got in December 2012, but when it conked out on me after 6 memorable years, I got the 360 E to replace it, as well as an Xbox One to go along with it.
Good points in general, *but* it is very wrong to say that the 360 has very little security and that it is "easy to hack". Sure, it's gotten easier to do now more than ever (You don't need a modchip anymore but you still need wires and resistors much like the JTAG hack), but it is one of the most complicated exploits of hardware in gaming (Reset Glitch Hack, Timing based attack on bootloader), and to this day Live itself is protected *against modified consoles going online*... Also, the E variant is mostly Winchester motherboard revisions that are *not hackable* because they removed the hardware traces on the CPU for the points used to attack the console during boot. I miss the golden days of the 360, I really do, however it is not just Microsoft's fault, it is that of the game developers/publishers and the paths taken to where we are today. There's a reason so many people are rebuilding the technology of this era and well beyond. Nostalgia will always have a place in everyone's hearts.
There are avatars on Xbox's now, they look different and I like the old ones better, but if the account you have on the 360 and newer Xbox's are the same, you'll be able to use the old avatars.
The Xbox 360E make a lot of sense at the time. While the platform was fading in developed nation markets, there was plenty of business still to be done in more price sensitive regions. So long as die shrinks of the chip set were doable at reasonable cost that allowed for new package designs that in turn allowed for lower MSRP, it was the right thing to do. The history of models released late in a platform's life, most notably from Nintendo and Sony, frequently have major cosmetic differences from the original models, often only be required to conform around the software medium, be it the existing ROM cartridge form factor or optical discs. One notable aspect of the 360E in the US is every time I saw it at retail, it had a 500GB hard drive. This also lead to Microsoft offering the 500GB 360 hard drives as separate items for upgrades. I was hoping they'd get cheap enough to be worth doing to one or both of my 360s without resorting to hacks. We'll never see the equivalent of the 360E for the Xbox One or PS4, or their mid-gen upgrade models, and certainly not the PS5 and Series X/S. The economics of semiconductor have changed in recent years and die shrinks are no longer as accessible as they used to be. AMD has no interest in bring ZEN 2 and RDNA 2 to smaller nodes, making it a VERY expensive proposition for the console makers to pursue it by themselves. This is likely to make for shorter generations as newer architectures are necessary to get any major upgrade to happen. The naming becomes more of a matter of policy and marketing than a reflection of the innards.
I think we will probably see an equivalent of the 360e with the ps5. They've already released the slim, but I think they will release a super slim in like 2026.
❗I'm sorry but your are totally wrong when you're saying that's it's easy to mod. Xbox 360 requires specific tools and programs + Soldering to hack. No soft mods exists.
Hey, are you aware that Xbox still has avatars to this day? Albeit they're definitely not as prevalent as they were back in the 360 days, and they are redesigned, but they still exist :) I wish they were utilised more though, I loved seeing my avatar everywhere back when I used my 360 - and even playing as them in games like Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Agree with the avatar thing man. I still use mine as my Xbox profile now. Not sure why they got rid of them. The 360 platform is one of best of all time. In fact, I’d stay it’s still my favourite. Was such a leap forward from previous generation and the games line was was awesome (still is).
Avatars are still here they never got rid of them. I updated mine on my series x the other day and is visible on my profile. It’s just that for whatever reason they’re not as prominent anymore and Xbox don’t seem to use them as much as they did which is a shame. The 360 dashboard was so good and the layout of it allowed yours and your friends avatars to be displayed front and centre to you which was cool and Xbox even released games that used yours and your friends avatars too as the characters and it’s such a shame that they don’t do that anymore. I would love for the 360 dashboard to come back even, if it’s just as an option to be able to use that dashboard style over the current one in the customisation settings. And I would love to see games like Doritos Crash Course and 1vs100 to come back to help bring avatars back into the spotlight a bit more!
I picked up the blue 500gb special edition last year. It was the last revision of the 360. It's the only special edition for the 360E. I liked the color so I bought it. Having it come with a 500 gb is a plus. There are still games you can only play on the 360. A bunch of original xbox games that are backwards compatibility on the 360 are not on the Series X.
I don’t see why this is so weird. Nintendo did the same thing with the Wii Mini, Game Boy Micro, and New 2DS XL all being cheaper versions coming out after their successors.
This was my second 360 I bought after I sold my original one years back. I still have it and it’s been a great system. Super quiet and it looks pretty slick on a entertainment center.
Just bougt xbox 360 E with angry birds game for 25 bucks:) it was so great deal so it was must buy. Then at the same marketplace i bought 2nd controller and COD mw2 and 3 for fucking 15 euros!
The 360e model from what I've read and heard from other had problems. Compared to the 360s which was a much much better made console. In fact most gamers ha e told me the 360s was the best are in terms of quality and durabilty longer lasting if properly taken care of ...
Lolz, I don’t understand why he said people love micro transactions? I don’t really think we love them. That said I do miss the older Avatar system. I know you can still switch to it if you want but I wish the Avatars were used more. Maybe in community games. Xbox should totally bring 1vs100 back. I only got to play that a couple times as a guest of another person but it was fun. Lolz
I think Avatars can work like Miis did in some games. Never played 1vs100 only heard about it recently. Had no idea Microsoft published and developed the one after the DS/Wii one. I don't know which games even used them. I never used Avatars at all to customise them or had a 360 Kinetic that I know used them either only a Xbox One Kinetic which never saw any Avatars use those and even then never used it for much either other than at launch and probably a year ago for Kinetic Sports Rivals to give it a tech demo play with then the other launch games I have for it. New gen players do because they don't know any different it's normal to have Mtx/Gacha in them, certain groups of older players vocally make it clear they hate them. Some of either fine with them even if they say 'we know it's bad and even meme it' just accept them and forget progress and cheats means something like the past because those cosmetics just mean more for whatever reason or getting later game stuff quicker as hours effort is too much. Too much for their attention span I think or forget progress why would they bother they just have to skip ahead.
Xbox 360 Camargo o Xbox continua no Brasil para comprar um videogame de novo você encosta muito alto Quero jogos muito bom no Xbox Por isso que a gente fala
I bought the Xbox 360 E Slim in 2014. It came with Halo 4. That game looked incredible, still one of the best looking games on the 360. I agree, the dashboard was so much better. Even on the current gen, in game menus are too cluttered as well. I was playing Black Ops 1 and the online menu/loadout option was so much cleaner than today's COD menus. These developers don't understand that minimalism and simplicity is a good thing. If you can find an Xbox 360 E Slim, pick one up. They are around $100 and are still fun today.
I got one of these about a year ago and love it. Been playing games I always wanted to play but couldn’t as a kid because I didn’t have a 360. Games are cheap too, I haven’t payed over $15 for any game.
"Nobody bought it".. ignoring that the OG xbox 360 model was super prone to breaking and getting the red ring and so tons of people ended up buying the E to replace their original model that broke
I found one in a thrift store for $30, it has a ton of issues including a corrupted memory unit. Worst version of the 360, hands down. The glossy plastic was a horrible decision too.
Because I got it as a kid in 2015, a year before getting the original Xbox One, I got the 360 E. It was amazing, and I found it to be better than the original 360. It looked great and was very light to hold. Particularly, it was quite nice for playing Forza games, Minecraft, and GTA IV.
People didn't buy them mostly because of the Winchester CGPU. Until a video by Josh Davidson(Octal450) showing how to tell which CGPU you had between a Corona or a Winchester. Josh is also one of the main reasons why we have RGH3. From his findings and passing them onto 15432 who then came up with RGH3.
I own a xbox 360 E and i gotta say i had my best memories on that console bec you can basically crack games on it for free and it supported games up to 2018 crack titles and 2017 official titles
Wrong, I have owned 4 Xbox 360's in my life time. This was my 3rd LOL 4th one was an S I got a couple years ago cause I missed some old unsupported exclusives.
This console blow up on m'y country in 2014 to 2019 it was relly good console every wish to have it back then i had one on 2016 and it was so great i had the best times with m'y brothers
Say what you want but the TV feature was great. And a little ahead of it's time....I didn't have to press any buttons or cable after gamings. Just say tv.. genius
i think if xbox had focused more on gaming, and talked briefly about the tv aspect, it would have done better. but i love having my xbox do all that, i mean i don't understand why people are bitching and moaning about how xbox was so focused on the online aspect, it is literally that way now anyways, hell it went popular always online near the end of xbox one ps4 era. people just wanted something to be pissed about. gamers are to finicky.
Just for the record, even GTA 5 was originally released on Xbox 360 (and PS3) - back in September 2013, nine and a half years ago. The Xbox One/PS4 ports came much later.
I found mine with a 250gb hard drive in it for $15 at Goodwill over a year ago. It didn't have the power supply brick and plug in cords but $10 on eBay for one so got my Xbox 360 E for only $25 or around $30 after tax. Works perfectly fine but so far I only played GTA V all the way through the story on the 360 E. Scratches were able to be removed with some plastic scratch remover but not completely. Looks fine though but I just got it because of it's price and to add to collection. I already had the Xbox 360 S I bought back in 2018 and the fat Jasper chipset model I got in 2019. I use my Xbox One X and my Series S but not every 360 game is backwards compatible.
Growing up with the xbox original dashboard and even the 360 blade dashboard, the new dashboards from the one/series are absolute nightmares to me. That along with the newer games turning into content IOUs its pushed me to go back to the 360 and boy howdy theres a lot of games I missed. Xbox can only hobble on the crutch called gamepass for so long before people also get tired of it, I hope they start to innovate again eventually.
I bought this in 2014 as a bundle with a Kinect and a few games, I recently upgraded to a series x in 2022, but I never had an Xbox account for my 360, so I made one and had to start over with my gamerscore
I own the original Xbox (green and black top)... still works, I went thru 4 of the xbox 360's (3x RRoD)... last 360 I still own and works but is in storage. Than I got this 360 E so I can play all my games and play online. Still works and sits 3 ft away from me. Amazing.
I had a 360 E, it had worse anti-aliasing than the 360 S I had before it for some reason. I'm sure it was a hardware issue, but regardless I still prefer the S model.
Thanks, Hogwarts Tom Holland! I've seen a lot of these 360E consoles for cheap lately, thinking of getting one (I know it's 2024 lol, but I never had a 360) and hacking it (the store is dead, anyway). Gonna play some Forza Horizon 1 & 2
The craziest version ? 🤦🏻♂️ this is the second slim Xbox 360 same like PS3 done two slims, I bought it and let me tell you this Xbox is the quietest console ever( compered to every model of PlayStation 1-3, Og Xbox & 360!
i got it because my original 360 red ringed me & i didn't want to get another that would do the same & i didn't get the slim version because of the disk scratching if the console got knocked.
Avatars are existent on the Xbox series generation and Xbox series s is for sure one of the best consoles for emulators ever and you don't necessarily need gamepass for the series s if you own a large library of digital games just my opinion but I think series s is the best Xbox console yet and this is coming from someone that owns an Xbox from every generation
I bought a Xbox 360 E 500GB with 2 Controllers and everything in great condition for $7 afew days ago and it also had Minecraft video game in the Tray I collect video game consoles and video games
1, Xbox 360 E can do 1080p, and has support for upscaling. 2, you need Xbox Live Gold if you want to play online, now it's called Xbox Game Pass Core. 3, no, it's not easy to hack, you must take it apart and solder some wires.
I found one in the dumpster without a power supply, so I made my own PSU controller board with a few voltage regulators and a relay, and modded an old PC power supply to make it work. Works great!
A lot of false info on this video just for views. Most E models are exactly the same as a regular slim. They just changed the power adapter plug, removed one usb port, changed the A/V adapter plug as well. They removed the chip for the power and eject sounds, but you can add the one from the slim, even the rf power panel on the regular slim will plug into the motherboard. Disc drives are the same. Modding the system doesn't make it "run faster" lol. The E model isn't anymore reliable than a regular slim.
Still have mine from when The Source was pretty much liquidating these for like 120$ and it was the holiday bundle so pretty much a no brainer deal. Nowadays i am looking for a One S but man people wanting as much as a Series S for their old One S without games and with a busted controller its just hard to grab one. Also because it can be a little hard to download new games onto a 360 nowadays, recently got Burnout Revenge and had to restart the download three times because it kept failing.
Man 360 and ps3 had extremely rocky starts because of ATI and Nvidia making crap gpu's with TSMC's help of course they got pretty hot and would detach from the mother board and would require reballing to work again and later ps3 would use the NEC/Tokin capacitor that was extremely prone to failure I'm very glad AMD is making it console processors a company that actually cares about gamers Nvidia only cares about AI they are the Apple of GPU'S you gotta buy the newest GPU to get access to the newest DLSS which is so sad AMD gives everyone access to FSR and frame generation pretty much AMD DLSS and it's free for everyone even Nvidia users it's pretty messed up
I never owned an Xbox 360 so I’m actually tempted to get this version of the console since it’s the last version and probably the one that will hold up the most
i have the x360E since 2017 and it was used before and it never had a red ring of death + the x360E dashboard was the cleanest and the coolest thing, it has game themed wallpapers
Xbox has absolutely lost this generation. Unfortunately, I believe it has the better games/console combo but they just destroyed their reputation with the Xbox One. The numbers strongly suggest Xbox sold significantly less (at least console wise, PC games might show different). Also the proprietary expandable storage is an obvious scam especially when you can see the PS5 allows any normal m.2 drive.
Got yourself a sub, nice to see someone not unilaterally dunking on Xbox. Sony has to be THE most anti-consumer company on the planet and I appreciate someone other than me knowing Xbox is still king regardless of the PS4/5’s sales numbers. Sony has zero original ideas other than that haptic stuff on PS5 and just about 95% of their ideas have either come from Nintendo or Microsoft.
You didn't mention a single thing that was 'crazy' about it or mention that it was $99 w/o hard drive when it released. Many people bought it. Also, xbox 360 is easy to hack? Obviously you haven't hacked one.
I own both 360 S and E, from a yard sale for $40. Great consoles to play old games from my childhood. Main console is a series x and a ps5 slim but I don't use the series x so I'm probably gonna sell it for half price.
why are you saying nobody bought this version of the 360. I owned this when I was younger since at the time I didn't even know about the Xbox one until 2016. I liked its cool design and noticed differences between them when I went to a friends house and saw their 360 looked different to mine. either way, its the best 360.
the Xbox 360 e was my first console in 2015 the only bad thing i would say about it is that its not very quiet and didn't have a lot of storage but the storage thing just might have been my model it only had like 16gb but it got me into gaming and i still have it today then got a Xbox one s in 2017 then gave it to a friend and an Xbox series x in 2020 and a pc in 2022 which is were i mainly game now
People say lack of vision for Xbox one, however many of things they tried to implement has basically arrived, a digital library of games, voice assistants like Alexa and Google, face recognition cameras , the always online thing, which people are now just realising has almost come to pass, there Xbox one vision has basically happened, they are just not great at selling there stuff, such as the Kinect they didn’t know how to sell, even though the tech was very interesting, which you can now find in many different things.
Ive moved from Spain til Norway. People have more money and time to spend on gaming,,, Im buying lots of 360E and S for 50€ ish this includes games hard drives and some pretty cool controllers. Love the freedom of plug and play,,, loading a console from the internet is sole destroying. My xbox game collection is coming on by leaps and bounds.
This was my first xbox console, bought it when it came out. It was so good, best xbox360. I still have it with my Xbox One S and Series S I like all of them.
You might like micro transactions i certainly don't they are just milking the cow for all its worth Look at gta v been around since the ps3 and they are still milking that shite financially, It's taken the life out of gaming now
I remebered my cousin owning a shitload of systems and a few of them where 360s and one of them was the E. And around the same time was when I had the S. Hell, I remebered seeing new 360 games and knew some kids in my old apartment who had 360s as well.

Personally, I don't think so! XBOX Series S is my go-to option, even for old games. Game Pass and backwards compatibility offer great opportunities to experience older games on the new consoles.
Yes. So many great games can only be played on the PS3/Xbox 360, with one of my favorites being the Forza Motorsport franchise, being some of the few that never got backwards compatible support and have a huge following. I was in middle school/high school for most of the era, so I'm a bit more partial to my experiences and memories with older games and consoles.

I remember when I was in hs back in the late 2000s we rocked cod waw nazi zombies. Boy did we grow up so fast. Enjoy being young my man you don’t get those times back
Yeah I was 14 when it came out and got this model too. I eventually got an Xbox One when I was 18 (I already had a PS4 by this point, but I collect consoles so I needed the One for my collection) and the 360 is SO much better. I only have maybe 10 games for my One, whereas I have over 150 PS4 games and 90 360 games lmao
This was actually my first 360. I was born in 2002, and I had this mentality of hating things that were "new" by the time I was, like, 8. I basically refused to upgrade from my trusty PS2 for the entire 360/PS3 generation because of that. That was until 2013. I was 11, and by then the One and PS4 were coming. I no longer perceived the 360 as "new", so that's when I finally asked for one lol.
I didn't get a PS4 until April of 2022 for that same reason. Some things just never change I suppose.
You're weird
I hope you enjoy your ps5 when you get it in 2028 🙏🙏

I bought a 360 E about a year ago on ebay. I bought it because my 360 launch model was dying. I've been pleasantly surprised with how quiet the 360 E is, especially when you install a game to either the hard drive or memory stick... I still see value in having a 360 because not every game was made backward compatible due to licensing issue; the Star Trek and James Bond games specifically...
A year later but still is ebay or amaxon trusty to buy xbox 360 cause ive really ben wanting one

3:16 Xbox did have ads on the 360, It was known to be extremely annoying because most ads on the 360 weren't even gaming related! At least ads on the modern-day dashboard are based on gaming.
They did! But now that they're not the dashboard feels really empty.
The 360 is one of the best consoles ever
I have never owned a Xbox and never will I have a computer for that and as always a playstation but this system was a game changer for online and online marketplace because that was the first time Sony knew they fucked up with online for my boy Sony, for them it was a afterthought not built around the experience like the 360 I'm a Sony loyalist but weekends at my cousin's playing halo 1 2 3 odst and reach was my teen years, left for dead, gears my god good times, because the PS4 online chats and groups feel like 360 era, if the PS3s online was the same Sony would have won again but I'm glad because online gaming would be shitty as a whole if not for Xbox so thanks Microsoft....-a playstation loyalist who is still salty about the cods maps coming out way after the xbox's during this battle.......

I love mine. I didn't realize they were fairly uncommon. I have the hdd maxed out with stuff. One thing I hate about these last few generations of consoles is that it's hard to figure out how to make physical backups of your data. I have anxiety thinking about suddenly losing all the digital content I paid hundreds, probably thousands of dollars for over the last decade. Someday those servers are going to shut down and it'll be gone forever if you aren't prepared. That's why I still much prefer physical game media.
Can u just buy extra 4TB memory card or external hard drive and download and save your games there? Also if the lisence of the games are under your gamer profile can they just dissappear as long as u have your profile?
I understand that if u havent downloaded your games they can but if u have should not make difference since discs are also there anymore for confirming your lisence. U dont play tge game from disc like in olden days, thats why u need to download them to your hardrive anyways before being able to play them.
I still have 5 360 consoles, of which 2 are E, and I also just recently discovered that version.
By the way, all of them are equipped with external disc drives of 1 and 2 teras.
They are fine.
Today I bought my xbox No. 5!😂 I just love that machine. I've got 3 elites and 2 slims. Although I also own a PS5 the 360 is still something special for me.
My first Xbox ever was the 360 S that I got in December 2012, but when it conked out on me after 6 memorable years, I got the 360 E to replace it, as well as an Xbox One to go along with it.
Mine was made in 2010 and it’s still going strong!
I got my first 360 S in 2013. Still going strong. Also bought a modified 360 S just last week.
I Bought One for $5
Good points in general, *but* it is very wrong to say that the 360 has very little security and that it is "easy to hack".
Sure, it's gotten easier to do now more than ever (You don't need a modchip anymore but you still need wires and resistors much like the JTAG hack), but it is one of the most complicated exploits of hardware in gaming (Reset Glitch Hack, Timing based attack on bootloader), and to this day Live itself is protected *against modified consoles going online*...
Also, the E variant is mostly Winchester motherboard revisions that are *not hackable* because they removed the hardware traces on the CPU for the points used to attack the console during boot.
I miss the golden days of the 360, I really do, however it is not just Microsoft's fault, it is that of the game developers/publishers and the paths taken to where we are today. There's a reason so many people are rebuilding the technology of this era and well beyond. Nostalgia will always have a place in everyone's hearts.
How does this work?
There are avatars on Xbox's now, they look different and I like the old ones better, but if the account you have on the 360 and newer Xbox's are the same, you'll be able to use the old avatars.
the xbox one avatars have been out since like 2015, i don't know where people are getting this, oh now they have them, they have been out 7 years now.
The Xbox 360E make a lot of sense at the time. While the platform was fading in developed nation markets, there was plenty of business still to be done in more price sensitive regions. So long as die shrinks of the chip set were doable at reasonable cost that allowed for new package designs that in turn allowed for lower MSRP, it was the right thing to do. The history of models released late in a platform's life, most notably from Nintendo and Sony, frequently have major cosmetic differences from the original models, often only be required to conform around the software medium, be it the existing ROM cartridge form factor or optical discs.
One notable aspect of the 360E in the US is every time I saw it at retail, it had a 500GB hard drive. This also lead to Microsoft offering the 500GB 360 hard drives as separate items for upgrades. I was hoping they'd get cheap enough to be worth doing to one or both of my 360s without resorting to hacks.
We'll never see the equivalent of the 360E for the Xbox One or PS4, or their mid-gen upgrade models, and certainly not the PS5 and Series X/S. The economics of semiconductor have changed in recent years and die shrinks are no longer as accessible as they used to be. AMD has no interest in bring ZEN 2 and RDNA 2 to smaller nodes, making it a VERY expensive proposition for the console makers to pursue it by themselves. This is likely to make for shorter generations as newer architectures are necessary to get any major upgrade to happen. The naming becomes more of a matter of policy and marketing than a reflection of the innards.
I think we will probably see an equivalent of the 360e with the ps5. They've already released the slim, but I think they will release a super slim in like 2026.
My first xbox was a 360e, bought in 2014. I've been only with it until this year January, when I bought a Series S. Love this console.
Literally the exact same as you it wasn't a bad console
❗I'm sorry but your are totally wrong when you're saying that's it's easy to mod. Xbox 360 requires specific tools and programs + Soldering to hack. No soft mods exists.
Hey, are you aware that Xbox still has avatars to this day? Albeit they're definitely not as prevalent as they were back in the 360 days, and they are redesigned, but they still exist :)
I wish they were utilised more though, I loved seeing my avatar everywhere back when I used my 360 - and even playing as them in games like Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
They're super ugly too
Thank you I was thinking that too. My aviator is riding a unicorn. It’s also my gamer tag.
Agree with the avatar thing man. I still use mine as my Xbox profile now. Not sure why they got rid of them. The 360 platform is one of best of all time. In fact, I’d stay it’s still my favourite. Was such a leap forward from previous generation and the games line was was awesome (still is).
Avatars are still here they never got rid of them. I updated mine on my series x the other day and is visible on my profile. It’s just that for whatever reason they’re not as prominent anymore and Xbox don’t seem to use them as much as they did which is a shame. The 360 dashboard was so good and the layout of it allowed yours and your friends avatars to be displayed front and centre to you which was cool and Xbox even released games that used yours and your friends avatars too as the characters and it’s such a shame that they don’t do that anymore. I would love for the 360 dashboard to come back even, if it’s just as an option to be able to use that dashboard style over the current one in the customisation settings. And I would love to see games like Doritos Crash Course and 1vs100 to come back to help bring avatars back into the spotlight a bit more!
I picked up the blue 500gb special edition last year. It was the last revision of the 360. It's the only special edition for the 360E. I liked the color so I bought it. Having it come with a 500 gb is a plus. There are still games you can only play on the 360. A bunch of original xbox games that are backwards compatibility on the 360 are not on the Series X.
I bought it and it was Great! With the exception of trash black piano that scratches like crazy in 1 week.
I don’t see why this is so weird. Nintendo did the same thing with the Wii Mini, Game Boy Micro, and New 2DS XL all being cheaper versions coming out after their successors.
This was my second 360 I bought after I sold my original one years back. I still have it and it’s been a great system. Super quiet and it looks pretty slick on a entertainment center.
Just bougt xbox 360 E with angry birds game for 25 bucks:) it was so great deal so it was must buy. Then at the same marketplace i bought 2nd controller and COD mw2 and 3 for fucking 15 euros!
I know you hear this 24/7 but you literally look like Tom Holland
Haha 😂
The 360e model from what I've read and heard from other had problems. Compared to the 360s which was a much much better made console. In fact most gamers ha e told me the 360s was the best are in terms of quality and durabilty longer lasting if properly taken care of ...
Man im lucky my aunt give me this xbox 360 e for gift in 2015 im still playn it its beatiful😢
Lolz, I don’t understand why he said people love micro transactions? I don’t really think we love them. That said I do miss the older Avatar system. I know you can still switch to it if you want but I wish the Avatars were used more. Maybe in community games. Xbox should totally bring 1vs100 back. I only got to play that a couple times as a guest of another person but it was fun. Lolz
Yeah I miss avatars. I was being more sarcastic that game devs think we love paying for things in games we already paid $60
I think Avatars can work like Miis did in some games. Never played 1vs100 only heard about it recently. Had no idea Microsoft published and developed the one after the DS/Wii one. I don't know which games even used them. I never used Avatars at all to customise them or had a 360 Kinetic that I know used them either only a Xbox One Kinetic which never saw any Avatars use those and even then never used it for much either other than at launch and probably a year ago for Kinetic Sports Rivals to give it a tech demo play with then the other launch games I have for it.
New gen players do because they don't know any different it's normal to have Mtx/Gacha in them, certain groups of older players vocally make it clear they hate them. Some of either fine with them even if they say 'we know it's bad and even meme it' just accept them and forget progress and cheats means something like the past because those cosmetics just mean more for whatever reason or getting later game stuff quicker as hours effort is too much. Too much for their attention span I think or forget progress why would they bother they just have to skip ahead.

I bought the Xbox 360 E Slim in 2014. It came with Halo 4. That game looked incredible, still one of the best looking games on the 360. I agree, the dashboard was so much better. Even on the current gen, in game menus are too cluttered as well. I was playing Black Ops 1 and the online menu/loadout option was so much cleaner than today's COD menus. These developers don't understand that minimalism and simplicity is a good thing.
If you can find an Xbox 360 E Slim, pick one up. They are around $100 and are still fun today.
Just bought an elite for 10 bucks!😂 Works fine!
@@GT-pl1wx Damn! Great deal! Have fun haha.
I got one of these about a year ago and love it. Been playing games I always wanted to play but couldn’t as a kid because I didn’t have a 360. Games are cheap too, I haven’t payed over $15 for any game.
"Nobody bought it".. ignoring that the OG xbox 360 model was super prone to breaking and getting the red ring and so tons of people ended up buying the E to replace their original model that broke
I had the 360e it was awesome but I sold it cos I abandoned it for ps4 I regret it
My original launch 360 died, so I got a 360E
I literally have this exact one for games they won't LET ME PLAYYYYY
I wonder if you couldn’t lightly buff out those scratches?
*where did you get your info? Everybody has the E unit in their homes now*
I found one in a thrift store for $30, it has a ton of issues including a corrupted memory unit.
Worst version of the 360, hands down. The glossy plastic was a horrible decision too.
Because I got it as a kid in 2015, a year before getting the original Xbox One, I got the 360 E. It was amazing, and I found it to be better than the original 360. It looked great and was very light to hold. Particularly, it was quite nice for playing Forza games, Minecraft, and GTA IV.
So this is the model that Don Mattrick referred to when he said that anyone who can't have his Xbox online 24/7 should just buy a 360...
The 360E was my first console and I loved it.
You've nailed it again Ben! I really like your videos. 👏
People didn't buy them mostly because of the Winchester CGPU. Until a video by Josh Davidson(Octal450) showing how to tell which CGPU you had between a Corona or a Winchester. Josh is also one of the main reasons why we have RGH3. From his findings and passing them onto 15432 who then came up with RGH3.
what are you talking about ???

Say what you want but the TV feature was great. And a little ahead of it's time....I didn't have to press any buttons or cable after gamings. Just say tv.. genius
i think if xbox had focused more on gaming, and talked briefly about the tv aspect, it would have done better. but i love having my xbox do all that, i mean i don't understand why people are bitching and moaning about how xbox was so focused on the online aspect, it is literally that way now anyways, hell it went popular always online near the end of xbox one ps4 era. people just wanted something to be pissed about. gamers are to finicky.
I got 1 of those. It's in a storage box..... somewhere. Need to throw that on ebay. Thanks for the reminder.
I actually just bought one of these about a week ago for 40 dollars and it is a very good and well built console
Just for the record, even GTA 5 was originally released on Xbox 360 (and PS3) - back in September 2013, nine and a half years ago. The Xbox One/PS4 ports came much later.
They came out on XBone and PS4 only a year later in 2014
It however didn't hit S/X and PS5 till just last year
You sure your last name isn’t holland?
I found mine with a 250gb hard drive in it for $15 at Goodwill over a year ago. It didn't have the power supply brick and plug in cords but $10 on eBay for one so got my Xbox 360 E for only $25 or around $30 after tax. Works perfectly fine but so far I only played GTA V all the way through the story on the 360 E. Scratches were able to be removed with some plastic scratch remover but not completely. Looks fine though but I just got it because of it's price and to add to collection. I already had the Xbox 360 S I bought back in 2018 and the fat Jasper chipset model I got in 2019. I use my Xbox One X and my Series S but not every 360 game is backwards compatible.
Growing up with the xbox original dashboard and even the 360 blade dashboard, the new dashboards from the one/series are absolute nightmares to me. That along with the newer games turning into content IOUs its pushed me to go back to the 360 and boy howdy theres a lot of games I missed. Xbox can only hobble on the crutch called gamepass for so long before people also get tired of it, I hope they start to innovate again eventually.
I bought this in 2014 as a bundle with a Kinect and a few games, I recently upgraded to a series x in 2022, but I never had an Xbox account for my 360, so I made one and had to start over with my gamerscore
I own the original Xbox (green and black top)... still works, I went thru 4 of the xbox 360's (3x RRoD)... last 360 I still own and works but is in storage. Than I got this 360 E so I can play all my games and play online. Still works and sits 3 ft away from me. Amazing.
I have an E model with Winchester chip and will not power on at all even after applying thermal paste. Any tips?
Still have two 360 E consoles, bought both on a Black Friday deal in 2014, both still go strong, I never upgraded to the One ...
I had a 360 E, it had worse anti-aliasing than the 360 S I had before it for some reason.
I'm sure it was a hardware issue, but regardless I still prefer the S model.
Thanks, Hogwarts Tom Holland!
I've seen a lot of these 360E consoles for cheap lately, thinking of getting one (I know it's 2024 lol, but I never had a 360) and hacking it (the store is dead, anyway). Gonna play some Forza Horizon 1 & 2
The craziest version ? 🤦🏻♂️ this is the second slim Xbox 360 same like PS3 done two slims, I bought it and let me tell you this Xbox is the quietest console ever( compered to every model of PlayStation 1-3, Og Xbox & 360!
i got it because my original 360 red ringed me & i didn't want to get another that would do the same & i didn't get the slim version because of the disk scratching if the console got knocked.
Avatars are existent on the Xbox series generation and Xbox series s is for sure one of the best consoles for emulators ever and you don't necessarily need gamepass for the series s if you own a large library of digital games just my opinion but I think series s is the best Xbox console yet and this is coming from someone that owns an Xbox from every generation
I bought a Xbox 360 E 500GB with 2 Controllers and everything in great condition for $7 afew days ago and it also had Minecraft video game in the Tray
I collect video game consoles and video games
1, Xbox 360 E can do 1080p, and has support for upscaling.
2, you need Xbox Live Gold if you want to play online, now it's called Xbox Game Pass Core.
3, no, it's not easy to hack, you must take it apart and solder some wires.
2:46 yes it had HDMI but from my experience the HDMI only gave me sound not sound and picture unlike the back AV port
You are talking rubbish, the Xbox 360E sold many many consoles. This video is irrelevant.
I found one in the dumpster without a power supply, so I made my own PSU controller board with a few voltage regulators and a relay, and modded an old PC power supply to make it work. Works great!
Msoft should restart xbox 360 online put out an update for all the online stuff and put back on the live gaming.
It would still be very popular.
He lost me at the end I haven’t owned a ps since ps2 came out back then and was a Xbox fan since 360 but I finally switched to ps and it’s the best
A lot of false info on this video just for views. Most E models are exactly the same as a regular slim. They just changed the power adapter plug, removed one usb port, changed the A/V adapter plug as well. They removed the chip for the power and eject sounds, but you can add the one from the slim, even the rf power panel on the regular slim will plug into the motherboard. Disc drives are the same. Modding the system doesn't make it "run faster" lol. The E model isn't anymore reliable than a regular slim.
Still have mine from when The Source was pretty much liquidating these for like 120$ and it was the holiday bundle so pretty much a no brainer deal.
Nowadays i am looking for a One S but man people wanting as much as a Series S for their old One S without games and with a busted controller its just hard to grab one.
Also because it can be a little hard to download new games onto a 360 nowadays, recently got Burnout Revenge and had to restart the download three times because it kept failing.
Man 360 and ps3 had extremely rocky starts because of ATI and Nvidia making crap gpu's with TSMC's help of course they got pretty hot and would detach from the mother board and would require reballing to work again and later ps3 would use the NEC/Tokin capacitor that was extremely prone to failure I'm very glad AMD is making it console processors a company that actually cares about gamers Nvidia only cares about AI they are the Apple of GPU'S you gotta buy the newest GPU to get access to the newest DLSS which is so sad AMD gives everyone access to FSR and frame generation pretty much AMD DLSS and it's free for everyone even Nvidia users it's pretty messed up
I never owned an Xbox 360 so I’m actually tempted to get this version of the console since it’s the last version and probably the one that will hold up the most
i have the x360E since 2017 and it was used before and it never had a red ring of death + the x360E dashboard was the cleanest and the coolest thing, it has game themed wallpapers
Xbox has absolutely lost this generation. Unfortunately, I believe it has the better games/console combo but they just destroyed their reputation with the Xbox One. The numbers strongly suggest Xbox sold significantly less (at least console wise, PC games might show different). Also the proprietary expandable storage is an obvious scam especially when you can see the PS5 allows any normal m.2 drive.
Got yourself a sub, nice to see someone not unilaterally dunking on Xbox. Sony has to be THE most anti-consumer company on the planet and I appreciate someone other than me knowing Xbox is still king regardless of the PS4/5’s sales numbers. Sony has zero original ideas other than that haptic stuff on PS5 and just about 95% of their ideas have either come from Nintendo or Microsoft.
You remind me of Psivewri
You didn't mention a single thing that was 'crazy' about it or mention that it was $99 w/o hard drive when it released. Many people bought it. Also, xbox 360 is easy to hack? Obviously you haven't hacked one.
I own both 360 S and E, from a yard sale for $40. Great consoles to play old games from my childhood. Main console is a series x and a ps5 slim but I don't use the series x so I'm probably gonna sell it for half price.
why are you saying nobody bought this version of the 360. I owned this when I was younger since at the time I didn't even know about the Xbox one until 2016. I liked its cool design and noticed differences between them when I went to a friends house and saw their 360 looked different to mine. either way, its the best 360.
I will always prefer the last model of the classic white one (The one that has the RROD problem fixed). Black is so over-used i almost despise it.
I also like white more
Guess i'm nobody.
Bought when it came out.
Same model i use today. (Had a PS2 before it)
It has lasted quite a bit....
I Was So Close In Getting An Xbox 360 E But Ended Getting Nothing Until The Series S Came Out Because I Used By Dads Nintendo Wii 😅
the Xbox 360 e was my first console in 2015 the only bad thing i would say about it is that its not very quiet and didn't have a lot of storage but the storage thing just might have been my model it only had like 16gb but it got me into gaming and i still have it today then got a Xbox one s in 2017 then gave it to a friend and an Xbox series x in 2020 and a pc in 2022 which is were i mainly game now
I had one until 2016 , it was so much better than xbox one original . But xbox one s changed the playground
People say lack of vision for Xbox one, however many of things they tried to implement has basically arrived, a digital library of games, voice assistants like Alexa and Google, face recognition cameras , the always online thing, which people are now just realising has almost come to pass, there Xbox one vision has basically happened, they are just not great at selling there stuff, such as the Kinect they didn’t know how to sell, even though the tech was very interesting, which you can now find in many different things.
Ive moved from Spain til Norway. People have more money and time to spend on gaming,,, Im buying lots of 360E and S for 50€ ish this includes games hard drives and some pretty cool controllers. Love the freedom of plug and play,,, loading a console from the internet is sole destroying. My xbox game collection is coming on by leaps and bounds.
This was my first xbox console, bought it when it came out. It was so good, best xbox360.
I still have it with my Xbox One S and Series S
I like all of them.
You might like micro transactions i certainly don't they are just milking the cow for all its worth
Look at gta v been around since the ps3 and they are still milking that shite financially, It's taken the life out of gaming now
I remebered my cousin owning a shitload of systems and a few of them where 360s and one of them was the E.
And around the same time was when I had the S. Hell, I remebered seeing new 360 games and knew some kids in my old apartment who had 360s as well.
I have a series x and now I want a 360 Elite 😆. I STILL play NCAA football 14!
Buy a 360 slim. It's better than elite
