Would you buy an Xbox 360 still? USEFUL LINKS ⬇

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 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.

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 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

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...

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.

The 360 is one of the best consoles ever

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.

[Danceman]

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.

[EduardoAdameSalles]

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.

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 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.

[LakesideAmusementPro]

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.

3:00 duude what game is that? Looks awesome!
Nice video btw, Ben! Love your content!

[moel]

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
