The last Xbox 360 ever made.... | MVG 

The biggest advantage of the E is that it’s actually quiet. I picked one up to replace my OG Xbox 360 that sounds like a plane.

Something to note, while it's probably not much of an issue for the large majority of the console's library since it's rarely ever mentioned, but the late S and early E models (specifically the models with the Corona motherboard, I don't believe this applies to Winchester) has a few issues with the accuracy of some games, notably almost the entire library of Guitar Hero games which have an issue where the audio will desync with the rest of the game

I put in so many hours on my 360 and have such fond memories. So many good Call of Duty titles, Alan Wake, Halo 3, AC Black Flag, Doritos Crash Course and many more!

I own all variations of the 360, the E is fantastic but clearly the most cut down version.

I still have my 'E', but I never knew there was a blue model. It certainly runs cool and quiet, especially compared to the OG 360, and feels wayyyy smaller, even though its still pretty similar.

I got into Xbox with a 360E new because the price was that good around Christmas when stores were trying to get rid of them. Been a great system. Bought a used slim a couple years ago to play LAN. Really wish developers would add that feature back in to new games.

Got a 360 E in 2013 or 14 (forgot which) for christmas when I was a lot younger, I remember playing minecraft on it the first day we had it, still have it. Almost 10 years later it still runs quiet and plays games perfectly fine

Got an E off Amazon shortly before new ones started going up in price. I got the 4GB version with Peggle and got a 500GB HDD. I love the unit.

The Xbox 360 E was my first 360, Got this back in 2013, and this was my induction to halo, I had some great memories with halo 3, reach, halo CEA, with my friends. Halo reach was my most played game on my 360, along side halo 3, even in 2013, thousands were still playing halo 3. I never had a 360 back in 2005 or 2007, because I had a wii, and my parents didn't see the point in me getting a 360. But I remember watching my cousin back in 2007 play halo 3. I'll never forget the memories with my 360 E, it got me into halo, it made me a halo fan. As well as games like Skyrim and Oblivion.

@Modern Vintage Gamer side note: you can plug in an headphone in the av port of the e model and have good stereo sound

The 360, is tied in first place, with the NES, as my favorite consoles. Besides some pixel density, and a few other graphical advantages, games haven’t really changed much, since that generation. That generation of gaming, was the last time, I’d play a game, and feel like something was new and ground breaking.

Does it have UNO?

For the power efficiency, would actually like this model. Not to mention the added storage. The lack of modding ability, however, is an instant deal breaker.

There are modded Es out there it's just that they almost exclusively exist in Brazil. Some CPUs "fell off the back of a truck" before having their fuses programmed at the factory which meant an RGH / JTAG wasn't necessary because you could just program your own keys into it. The Brazilians bought up almost the entire supply of unfused E CPUs though so other counties only got unfused Trinity CPUs which could already be modded anyway.

Very neat. I never had an E, but had the rest. my big complaint is that you can't upgrade them with any drive you want like on PS3.

Been an Xbox fan since the original and have the last 3 generations. I bought the 360E base model brand new from Best Buy around 2013/14, it was one of the last few things I bought there before the store closed down in my city. I still have the box, original packaging and receipt since I always treat my consoles like the day I got them. Although it shares a resemblance to the original Xbox One the physical power and eject buttons and lack of ports reminds me of the original Xbox 360, just newer and improved. My only con with this console is that the shiny plastic design is a fingerprint and scratch magnet. The 360 has been one of my major highlights during my teen years, good times!

I love the E. I was a Wii and PS2 kid. Didn't get a 360 until 2013 at the age of 11 because I thought I had defend my choice of console. Fun fact: I didn't understand how HDMI worked because I had used a CRT basically all my life. I thought that hooking up the composite cables into our new flat screen was "HD" and I was blown away by that. Imagine how shocked I was when I upgraded to Xbox One five years later.

I have it! Bought it new in 2015. In Europe it was actually released in a bundle with Toy Soldiers and Max The Curse of Brotherhood. I think it had also a last-ever bundle with Forza Horizon 2 and Fable Anniversary. 2014 was actually an incredible year for Xbox 360 games.

I got an E around 2015 when my original 360 got the RROD and I've loved having it to play older games without BC support. Definitely deserved its own video

At one time my wife and I were competing a bit over our consoles, so we got a black model E 360 so she could play her games on PS3 and I could have my own system. I loved the stupid thing, it was so much more reliable than previous 360 systems we'd had (and returned over the years). Totally worth it if you can find one, and that blue on blue finish is great.

This console got me back into gaming for about $60 at a Goodwill. This machine also had built-in wifi. Some other notable games were Far Cry 2-4, Max Payne 3, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Metal Gear Solid 5 (yes you can play that on this system with an external hard drive) and the Dead Space series. Love this system!

This was one of those console revisions I had no idea existed until a month or two ago!

Whoa, that's a beautiful console. I still have my OG 360, but this one sure looks amazing. Such a solid system!

The Xbox 360 E is interesting. I got one for Christmas a year after the Xbox One came out. My mom got it super cheap from Walmart and it was a great offline console for keeping at my grandmas house that didn't have internet at the time. It was more quiet than my Xbox 360 Slim, and still works perfectly today for the few games I can't play on my Series X

I just found yesterday that the RGH can now be performed with a single resistor and few wires.

I honestly did not know it was a store specific model. I picked up mine a few years ago for $30 w/out the box. It's been collecting dust since then.

I love my 360 e. When games are installed to the hard drive, it's completely silent. Still play and use it today for games that aren't on the Series X backwards compatibility library and for the games that the 360 backwards compatibility supports. Also, the 360 controller is still my favorite controller to this day

Nice bit of gaming history information awesome vid mate

I am a Playstation guy and I have all the Playstation models apart from PSP Go and PS5 ,but recently I got curious and bought an Xbox 360 S on eBay. Now I am not sure what to do with it - games are cheap and keeping retail would be fine, but modding it opens up a lot more possibilities. Thank you for the video MVG, didn't know about this specific model!

It's also the last console to have a disc tray.

Great video, wasn’t even aware there was one last revision of the 360 E done in 2014.

I have a Black 360 Kinect. Me, and my brother, have so many games on it. It is a good 13-14, maybe 15 years old, and we still love it.

After going through 2 white xbox 360's with overheating issues, I picked up a black 360 E that ran like a dream with no issues. It definitely was an interesting time for Microsoft lol.

Awesome video. But the top selling console of that generation was flat out the Wii though XD

The 360 E was my first console. The family had 360s before then of course, but the E was my first personal console. I traded it with my sibling for a PS3 Super Slim so I could play The Last of Us many years after I had transitioned to the One S and then to the PC and just the other day did I finally get it back. My first console, the exact same machine, is now the most recent addition to my console collection. It's currently sat next to my OG Xbox, and at some point it'll sit on a shelf with my NES, SNES, N64, Wii, Wii U, Master System, Mega Drive, and OG Xbox (the One S broke, then the warranty replacement broke, hence why I switched to PC, and the PS3 Super Slim is going to be replaced with an OG PS3). It will always have a special place in my heart as the machine that defined my first real steps into gaming.

I thought that you did a great job with this episode, and I really enjoyed it!

Honestly, this Xbox 360 E looks super nice. The base blue looks really nice and the teal parts on the top and bottom are definitely a color I love to see put together. I still haven't gotten around to getting a 360, but I think I honestly might pick this version up, it looks very nice

I actually managed to snag a 360E console recently. I wanted to get one because my old 360 model, which I picked up day one, has started to wear down with its incredibly loud fan noises plus the lack of HDMI support. I ended up grabbing this from a retro gaming store in mint condition for just $80, and now I can play games like Anarchy Reigns and JSRF on my current TV without any distractingly loud noises.

I've had quite a few 360s but the only one I have left is the E I bought in 2013 to play NCAA football 14 and still do. I didn't even realize it was that until I saw your video. Thanks!

I grew up playing my dad's 360 and now I'm 19. I'm surprised that thing survived getting the RROD a few times! It still works today too.

I thought about the E when it came out, but the removal of the multi-out killed it for me, since I still have a full set of cables for that port (Component, VGA, RGB-Scart and the original Composite, if I'm in a masochistic mood), so I stayed with my S model, that still runs like a charm.

I watched this video with a smile as you described the specifics of the machine I've been playing for so long for the last few years, all the way back to 2013. Most people wouldn't know my machine when I told them I had the last Xbox 360 model, but, fortunately, because development on the console was at its highest by that point, I never had to worry about the ring of death, overheating, or such issues. It just worked well.

My first Xbox was a 360 E and I got it Christmas of 2013. In fact this was my main console until Christmas 2020 when I got a ps4 pro. I still play my 360 very often but the fan has gotten pretty loud due to age I assume. I still love the console though and it gave me so many good memories.

Just so people are aware, backwards compatibility for certain games is kind of hit or miss. Fable had audio and texture glitches. PGR games had massive slowdown in multiple car races, JSRF had texture glitching on the map, and Forza Motorsport is a little janky because it will crash pretty easily. It will just randomly show up with “Your disc is dirty, or damaged”. Good thing I still have the original Xbox too.

Always interesting to find out about these more unique variants of consoles. Had never heard of the Model E before this. Luckily I still have an original 360 in working order, but it hasn't seen use in many years.

The 360 was launched in late 2005 and 2006 for other countries. Weather u like it or not

This is the console that i got which really introduced me to console gaming. I really loved this xbox, a few short years later i got the original xbox one which i also love.

I'm honestly still kinda proud of my last 360 (first one was a first revision with the Red Ring of Death and had been stripped to just the metal case with the components on a couple books to get it to stay on for any extended period of time, the second one my little brother used more than I did and the one this comment is about is my 3rd one), it was the Halo 4 special edition slim with the controller that I got at a pawn shop

I saved up with my brother so that we could buy one and get halo 3. Honestly some of the best memories ever.

I had an original 360 with 20GB HDD that died on me less than 3 years, I then bought an Elite with 120GB and an HDMI port. A few years later, a friend gave me his slim Xbox 360, and it became my main Xbox 360 since then. The elite is still alive, and I rarely play Xbox 360 games. Edit: after turning on my 360 Elite it had the RROD even though it was in its box for around 10 years. It was definitely working 100% before I placed it in its box, but apparently it failed. I might try to fix and see how things go in the next few weeks.

I have and modded my 2x 360E units, cleaned and applied fresh thermal paste and recapped. both internal 2TB SSD and both external 2TB SSD to store somewhat complete 360 library . They are very quiet and not too hot.

i’m just starting my uni journey majoring in computer science. ATM just scratching the surface of C++ and it’s capabilities. Modifying consoles for home brew has always been something I was intrigued by and wanted to learn how to do. I doubt by the time I’ve learned enough to begin looking into this E model to try and mod it that it will still yet to have been compromised but maybe I could be able to watch other programmers work on this if they are willing to let me and learn as much as I can. Then go on to start my own similar projects when my time comes.

That's a bummer about the multi-out port. On my S model, I've been having fun recently trying different cable setups, like component, or running VGA out into an old PC CRT.

Was always curious about the model E when I used to sell games at the flea market, we would get asked and sold composite cables for the 360 to a few people, the problem was that some of them came back saying they were the wrong ones which confused us, they explained they needed an audio jack to composite we honestly didn't think that existed for the 360 until we found a model E

My god I will never forget opening my 360 s Christmas morning when I was 12. Over a decade now. 😩

I love when things are modernized that way. It's like it keeps the original Essence but it looks way more modern.

360e is probably one of my favorite consoles ever

WOW! MVG! This brought back some memories, I remember the day when the XBOX One was announced, the hate over Physical game copies were not yours to own. The upset of it not being the XBOX 720, then this unusual XBOX 360 which a lot of disappointment was with it, with it having normal buttons for power and eject, a tray loading DVD drive, and was overall a machine that no one loved at all. :(

I got a 360E in black for my nephew few years back. I still keep the 360S for my kids with the Kinect and OneX for myself. All still working in perfect shape.

So crazy, someone from one of my local retro games groups just picked this blue model up just a few days ago! 💙

I discovered this model for a MVG's video months ago, I've always thought that slim model was the last one. The model E was released too late.

I just started using mine last year when I discovered the awesome arcade titles available on it such as Pacman championship DX+, Galaga Legions DX, Hydro Thunder and stuff like that. Props to microsoft for keeping the 360 store online so these games can still be downloaded.

Still playing my Xbox 360 E in 2022. It's a great cheap system, beautifully designed, and I'm grabbing games for it to this day.

Wow! I have one of these still new in the box. Didn't realize it was the last version built.

I have one; but not a special edition. In fact, I have TWO of the E consoles. My first one, got it back in 2013, died in 2019. In 2020 I found a good deal on another 360 E, which still lives right now, and made in 2014. Playing any installed game really shows just how quiet they are. When playing the witcher 2 on it, really quiet, forza horizon; same.

It really sucks Microsoft never added a proper environment for homebrew on the 360. I can get where they're coming from after the rampant modding of the OG Xbox, but still, something would've been nice.

I am a huge Fan of xbox modding (Original and 360). Iam very happy to see you making videos about it lately. Keep the great work up.

I heard about the penny trick online recently and noticed a couple of fundamental problems with the methodology. 1, pennies are used as heat sinks for the GDDR3 modules right? That means they must be between 1909-1982 to be useful 95% copper heat sinks as opposed to 2.5%. 2nd, people use 2 to 3 pennies per stack... But it's pointless if that heat isn't transferring to the other pennies, use MX4 or Thermal Grizzly as the peanut butter for that penny sandwich. THEN wrap it with electrical tape and be one your way. I already prepared my 4 stacks.

I have that exact model and colour, didn't know it was the last one they made though! The motherboard revision name reminds me of what Intel used to call their CPU architecture :) Love this machine though, this generation started so many new game series great machines to collect for! :D

Don mattrick was buddying up with ea at the time. And was so arrogant to assume that the statement “if they dont want to be connected all the time buy a 360” would fly with gamers. Very quickly was he shown the door and the xbox one is a sad burn for microsoft that ruined them for that generation. Also extra points to sony for making fun of microsoft by doing a trailer of how to share physical games

@MVG - The intro music is so cool, like the Halloween movies. 🤘🏻

Wow, this model looks amazing. Never knew this model. I have the og 360, and slim version. Will see if I can find one. Love the color and mat finish. Fantastic videolike always. Thank you.

I was quite surprised for that Last Xbox 360 model because it felt modern and complex. Microsoft really is ahead of Its time.

I never knew this revision existed, and now I must own one.

I love the blue color, I have the regular version of the 360 E, but I got it in a bundle with a kinect sensor and a few games

Awesome video brother...God Bless

Launched in late 2005 and 2006 for other territory’s*

Getting serious Eiffel 65 vibes from that thumbnail

That blue model xbox 360 e is badass imo. Probably the sleekest special edition ive seen of a console since my recent mario 35 edition nintendo switch. I do have to say, the xbox 360 e is probably one of my best consoles i own. Sure, i dont use it much, but its about as old as my current xbox one, and it runs significantly better. Maybe thats just the stress and age of my xbox one showing through. Good video.

I had this type of console when my mom bought my "first" xbox for me in 2014! It was pretty good and still works to this day.

I actually bought an E model since I was still on the OG fat one. I've gone through a lot of 360's since the original design just died so often.

The e would have been even better it if had included a built in PSU. I have seen a few e's at the thrift stores, but they are always missing the PSU.

I have this console and I didn't know it was rare at all, my old friend Jamie gave it to me around 2015, he had sadly passed away recently and I'm never going to get rid of it

Got my original 360 in 2007, Red Ring in '09, (I think,) sister gifted me the slim in 2011, and then built my first gaming PC in 2013 and haven't looked back. Amazing console with irreplaceable memories, with Forza Horizon 1 quite possibly being my most treasured. Side note, never got into the 360 vs. PS3 argument, as I ended up with both and loved both for different reasons.

Jet Set Radio Future doesn't run great on the 360, though. It has severe slowdown in some parts, to the point of dialogue boxes being several seconds behind voiceovers.

Great model overall, I'm just disappointed with the glossy half. Even if you're careful with it, it'll scratch very easily.

BROO I STILL HAVE MY BLUE model and the cod bo2 and host that came with it... crazy how i still play it till this day

great video as always

The reliability of the Slim and E models is really nice, but I just can't give up my original 360. The look of it gets me all hot and bothered with those curves and nostalgia is just so strong. It's a late Jasper model so even though it's still susceptible to the rrod it's much more reliable than the earlier models and I have a second Jasper in the cupboard for if/when this baby dies on me.

finding a power supply for these things is impressively hard, i've had one that i found at a thrift store for like 2 years now and i have yet to find a power supply for it to see if it even works at least i have a slim that works just fine

I have the Elite with the matching Wi-Fi adapter that still works and look almost new considering I had it since 2012, but it's a 2010 Jasper model when it was new when I bought it from eBay. It's a quiet console, but when it reads games the disc drives get a bit loud, as for its fans it is very quiet.

i have the XBOX 360E, its held up great over 10 years and Its kinda cool having one of the rarer 360 models.

I bought this exact model after seeing MVG show it off in a video years ago. Why? Because it’s blue! I’m shallow that way. Put it into my main gaming setup and put my existing 360 in the guest room. Love it! The only thing I dislike is that it can’t play ripped movies. It’s got a 500gb hard drive that I’ll never come close to filling. I don’t anybody can put 500gb on a 360.

Man, the Xbox 360S was a beautiful console.

I picked up a black 360E with a controller and a few games for £15 the other day..I am really happy with it..works perfect..prices have dropped a lot since the new gen has been released but I'm sure they will rise back up again.

3:37 you actually give me idea to look at produce date and i can see my 360 was produced in 15-08-2016 :D

The ‘’mighty’’ Xbox 360 launched in November 2005 and 2006 for other countries. Get your facts right. Sad that dislikes are gone smh 🤦‍♂️

Never understood that console, but thanks for the video

I grew up on 360 and ps2, I’m 19 years old now, and I honestly feel that the generation of gaming I grew up with was king. Games like GTA 3, VC, SA Midnight club, Smackdown VS Raw, Manhunt, Dead Rising, Simpsons Hit and Run, and so on were my childhood. I know not all of these were on 360, but it’s just a great accumulation of incredible games. There are so many 360 games that are better than anything coming out today. Old sports games, racing games, shooters, horror, are all genres you can have a blast with on 360.

another great video , im in the uk, so did not know this version xbox 360 was even a thing
