Xbox 360 E 250GB Console

Product Information

If you are not looking for 4K gaming and want a cheap budget console, Xbox 360 E is a solid candidate for everyday gaming. Yes, even in 2022. Some games are compatible with XB1 or Series X, one might get smoother gameplay with newer consoles. Additionally, the Xbox 360 Elite is missing the Kinect and optical audio-out ports present on the S, and it boasts only three USB ports as opposed to five and four on the later iterations. The hard drive is located on the top of the console as opposed to being underneath and more discretely placed inside the console as with the S and E models.

I recently went through the process of choosing one and ended up going with the S. MS claims the E is quieter and runs cooler than the S. In all my research I found that to be bullshit. Perhaps it runs a little cooler, but as far as noise goes they were identical. In other words, both were pretty much silent except when a disc was spinning, and even then it was near silent. The real difference that convinced me to get the S instead was build quality. The E feels and looks cheap. And as others mentioned it's also missing features from the S. So basically MS is saving money when you buy an E model, but you're not. Buy the S.

During my few weeks with it I did notice those two things to be true, but nowhere near the dramatic improvement going from a "classic" white 360 (the 2005 version) to the 360 S (2010 version). If temperature and noise are your two biggest reasons for seeking an upgrade, allow me to talk you out of it. Also, the E sees a return to tactile buttons rather than the touch-sensitive Power and Eject buttons on the S models. Microsoft made some presumable cost-saving maneuvers with the E by removing the optical audio-out and one of the USB ports from the S model as well.
