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.
Yes I Bought one for cheap this year even If I had already a Xbox Series s
I did, I just bought this model lol
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.
It's not a literal title it's an exaggeration for effect as most console sales don't happen at the end of a consoles life
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.
So 2 then
@@TheRatlord74 Ok boomer
agree even i got it in 2015/16!
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.
@@demonpride1975 oh yeah definitely. nothing beats booting up an old system and playing it on the og metal
Bro I got 3 xbox 360s all custom love these damn things
Im watching a dvd on my original xbox right now lol after i got done playing starwars battlefront 2
@@demonpride1975 im glad there is someone like me, heck i even own a cassette player for that reason.
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
I got mine when I was that young too but sadly all my friends started buying the newer consoles. So I mowed a lot of lawns to get an Xbox one lol
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.
You're weird
I hope you enjoy your ps5 when you get it in 2028 🙏🙏
@@shaungreer3350 bold of you to assume it will be in stock
@@spongehub8246 that’s true lmao
I usually wait a year or two for newer consoles since the library’s ALWAYS kinda lack luster, so in a way this makes sense
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 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

the 360 controller is so nostalgic
A 10/10 IGN for sure!
Nah its just ugly and awkwardly shaped.
@@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.
@@JudeTheCZcamsPoopersubscribe Good for you but its still ugly and awkwardly shaped.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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 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.
I have one of those! What software do you download to get k's of games for free? Whats up with that? 6:00 mark
I have an E model with Winchester chip and will not power on at all even after applying thermal paste. Any tips?
You've nailed it again Ben! I really like your videos. 👏
Do I need to get an wi fi extender for my Xbox e? I turn it on it starts up and shows the Xbox starting up and after a minute a era comes up on the screen and says no signal attrition. I was wondering if I needed to buy the Xbox made up extender thing and plug it in the USB slot if you would, please get back with me only if thank you.
Do you have a link to the shelving units you have in the background?
3:00 duude what game is that? Looks awesome!
Nice video btw, Ben! Love your content!
gta 4? :0
@@littlegloom Never played it hahah, skipped from Vice City straight up to V. Thanks.
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.
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’ve been getting your polls recommended to me for months on CZcams. But this is the first time CZcams actually recommended a video from you for me lol. Good content. Subbed.
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 ...
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...
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.
Bro these vids are quality 👌 keep it up!
Long time seen I have Been on this channel actually love you video keep up the great videos
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.
Awesome video! I totally agree with what you said about the new Star Wars game compared to the old one.
I know the glossy finish would pick up scratches easier, but damn did they clean that console with sandpaper?
Pulled out my Xbox 360 E and honestly besides the 30fps the only complaint I have is the resolution output. On modern monitors and TV's that 720p upscaling is very noticeable, making games look worse.
Still, it's a fun nostalgia trip.
Great video dude, keep it up!
I had one used, it red ringed. Only lasted a couple of months. Anyone know which model is best for avoiding that?
Just bought my Xbox 360 E about 2 months ago.
Its just incredible how much more fun old racing games are like OG Burnout 1-3, PGR 1-4 and Forza Motorsport 1-4.
Next step is getting the mClassic HDMI Cable for my 65“ 4K
I have this one and my Slim that my parents got me as a graduation present in eighth grade. Both are amazing.
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
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 ???
@@dnegel9546 Boards...
Early 360 e have the corona motherboard but late 2014 it was changed to the Winchester one
@@Primekoen Yes, I know.
6:15 what are you reffering to by saying "you can tweak the performance of your xbox, and make it a little bit quicker" ?
I got one of these a year ago. I remember seeing them when they first came out. I've had the slim as well since Christmas 2012
What’s the diff between the normal one and the E version
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
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.
I bought it and it was Great! With the exception of trash black piano that scratches like crazy in 1 week.
So is the 360 E backwards compatible with xbox original games or not?
Yes all 360 models/revisions are backwards compatible with over 300 original xbox titles
You just have to make sure to have the BC update and an authentic Microsoft hard drive
I have a bunch 360 games on my siries s/x current gen console will those genes carry over to a this console i buy this 360 e?
"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
The 360E was my first console and I loved it.
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.
This is the first video I am watching at your channel you deserve many more subscribers
Thus is the console I own to this day. I remember playing Spiderman WOS, TASM 1 and 2, Halo 3 and I still play them to this day.
I got 1 of those. It's in a storage box..... somewhere. Need to throw that on ebay. Thanks for the reminder.
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
3:19 People who used this dashboard back in the day know that there used to be ads plastered all over the dashboard, regardless of the tab
Got one, bought it new for 75 dlls from a sams club whitout hdd around 2015 on an impulse buy and is still in box. I dont know what to do with it
I don't see my 360 games bought on my series s listed on my xbox 360E, can someone help me here?
I had a Special edition of the e. It was Vibrant Blue with 500gb. Loved it then sold it for an Nvidia Shield Tablet.
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 wonder if you couldn’t lightly buff out those scratches?
Got one brand new in 2014 for 70 bucks no hdd at sams club and the disk tray just went bananas today
I actually just bought one of these about a week ago for 40 dollars and it is a very good and well built console
this was my first ever console. got them christmas 2014 along with fifa 15, and i still own that consol, even if it‘s dead
I have two 360 E and one 360 S, 180 games and I'm still happy. One 360 E and one 360 S i gave to one my friends. He is happy like a little child.
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.
I remember getting this for Christmas back in 2014 man times flys well I’m getting another one for this Christmas man I miss those days when I would buy games for it god I’m I was 4 and now I’m 13 and all the games he mentioned I played all of them merry Christmas everyone and god bless you
I bought it, recently as a replacement for my 2010 Xbox that finally gave up in 2023 with the red spot of death. I'm not quite ready to give up playing burnout 3 or the Simpsons hit and run yet.
I got that version of the 360 when the store near me had them on sale and it had 2 games included. I still have it.
I got one with a corona motherboard so I recently got it RGH3.0 modded. I love it so much
Xbox ones tv mode is kinda cool tbh it gives you an hdmi passthrough so it technically doesn't take up an hdmi slot on the tv since you can actually plug another console into the xbox one
Also fun fact I got a 360 after the one was out cause I still wanted the 360 and I got this E version
The best thing about the old console generation is the fact that you don't have to install every game and can just jump into the heat... miss those days.
I got a 360 S a few years ago and I didn’t even realize until very recently that there was an ‘E’ version as well 🤣
I found my Xbox 360 E in a skip with 2 controllers , loads of games including Minecraft , Forza Horizon , Halo 3 and Halo 4. I just got Forza Horizon 2 and an original Xbox 360 steering wheel to go with it. It’s my first console I’ve ever owned and I love it.
There are some games that still aren't backwards compatible with newer consoles. I don't think my copy of Eternal Sonata will ever get to be BC, and neither will my original XBox version of Silent Hill 2. Yes, I know about the HD Collection version... but that one is the HD Collection version...
I have a 360 E, the Slim does look better imo but the E model wasn't as bad as some made it out to be. Had one for about five years and I've been able to play some really great games on it.
I bought a 360E to replace my original Elite in like 2018 and I absolutely adore it.
6:03
little correction:
360's are not as easy as it may sound to hack.
you have to be goot at soldering + have programmers/flashers to modify the console, and not every 360 can be hacked (360 E with Winchester motherboard)
other than that, great video!
New here. Great video. Liked and Subbed
how do i make it faster i have an rgh3 white phat
I’m still sad that the Xbox series consoles got rid of the video pass through features of the Xbox one. Underrated feature.
I actually own one. After my original 360 died from its 2nd RROD, bought this model brand new in the store. Still works like a champ
I bought both at the same time. Also have a day one launch 360 and no red ring on it.
3:23 imma need that lamp
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.
6:57 well that aged badly lol
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 xbox 360.
I want to know what are the games compatibility in xbox 360E.
Pls reply for me ♥️♥️♥️
What I don't understand is how the light bulb in the corner is floating
wow, i was deciding to sell my xbox 360 e after buying a new series s, but now i think ill preserve it
You can still use avatars even on xbox xsx/s and still make it your profile Pic.
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
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
The 360 S had the problem with the scratching on top, as well!
I bought this back in 2013 and it's the only xbox 360 that didn't shit out on me after two years. It still works fine
I know you hear this 24/7 but you literally look like Tom Holland
Haha 😂
3:15 the 360 does have ads, when you have a gold subscription, but not as heavy compared to the Xbox one
