The CRAZIEST Xbox Ever Made... But Nobody Bought It 

Would you buy an Xbox 360 still? USEFUL LINKS ⬇ RU-vid 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/

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.

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 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

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.

the 360 controller is so nostalgic

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You've nailed it again Ben! I really like your videos. 👏

I’ve been getting your polls recommended to me for months on RU-vid. But this is the first time RU-vid actually recommended a video from you for me lol. Good content. Subbed.

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...

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

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).

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 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.

Long time seen I have Been on this channel actually love you video keep up the great videos

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.

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 ...

Bro these vids are quality 👌 keep it up!

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.

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.

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

Awesome video! I totally agree with what you said about the new Star Wars game compared to the old one.

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

Do you have a link to the shelving units you have in the background?

I have this one and my Slim that my parents got me as a graduation present in eighth grade. Both are amazing.

I have an E model with Winchester chip and will not power on at all even after applying thermal paste. Any tips?

My original launch 360 died, so I got a 360E

I bought it and it was Great! With the exception of trash black piano that scratches like crazy in 1 week.

"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

Great video dude, keep it up!

I Bought One for $5

I got 1 of those. It's in a storage box..... somewhere. Need to throw that on ebay. Thanks for the reminder.

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.

This is the first video I am watching at your channel you deserve many more subscribers

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 know the glossy finish would pick up scratches easier, but damn did they clean that console with sandpaper?

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

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 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

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.

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.

The 360E was my first console and I loved it.

6:57 well that aged badly lol

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 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

I actually just bought one of these about a week ago for 40 dollars and it is a very good and well built console

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'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.

Got one brand new in 2014 for 70 bucks no hdd at sams club and the disk tray just went bananas today

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.

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!

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.

What I don't understand is how the light bulb in the corner is floating

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.

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.

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 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.

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

I got one with a corona motherboard so I recently got it RGH3.0 modded. I love it so much

I wonder if you couldn’t lightly buff out those scratches?

bought one of these when my old box broke an needed a new power cord one night to get home an notice its a different power souce

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

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...

Can you imagine if the 360 was still alive today and they were making newer versions and the Xbox one was only for online?

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 had a Special edition of the e. It was Vibrant Blue with 500gb. Loved it then sold it for an Nvidia Shield Tablet.

I bought a 360E to replace my original Elite in like 2018 and I absolutely adore it.

I’m still sad that the Xbox series consoles got rid of the video pass through features of the Xbox one. Underrated feature.

I know you hear this 24/7 but you literally look like Tom Holland

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.

New here. Great video. Liked and Subbed

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)

3:23 imma need that lamp

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.

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.

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 this one, I asked for a xbox one and ended getting money to buy one but didn't have enough to buy this one so bought this instead and I still enjoyed it thoroughly

I own this one! I will say the xbox 360 E and the 360 as a whole is a blast, a lot of fun and its the first time a LONG time i actually laughed and smiled while playing on it, i also purchased a Series S and i am enjoying it a lot too.

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 bought both at the same time. Also have a day one launch 360 and no red ring on it.

wow, i was deciding to sell my xbox 360 e after buying a new series s, but now i think ill preserve it

I had one used, it red ringed. Only lasted a couple of months. Anyone know which model is best for avoiding that?

Wow Xbox one with multiple ads throughout the homepage while ps4 only has one ad sometimes

Owned 4 of them over the years and sadly I have none of them now... all I have is guitar hero controllers and power supplies.

i remember when i wanted to update my white fat xbox 360 but didn't have the money to get an xbox one, so i got my self the xbox 360 E and it was an absolutely amazing experience.

I bought the E model when it came out, after my old 360 melted when playing gta 5. I still use it almost daily. Definitely one of the best consoles of all time.

I knew a ton of people who bought it. And when i went to buy one i had trouble finding it

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
