The Forgotten Xbox 360 E - Retrospective Review

The Xbox 360 was finally succeeded by the Xbox One in 2013- but that wasn't the only console to launch that year, with the Xbox 360 E being a small, strange revision to the 360 S.

Any of you ever have this Xbox? I'm half convinced it never existed, even though I, you know... actually own one now. But seriously, not sure why Microsoft decided to make the change from the 360 S, interesting stuff. Join the discord! --- www.discord.io/91Tech​​​​​​

Can you help me decide if I should buy the 360 E or the 360 S? The only thing I’m not sure of is what S/PDIF means in these consoles as the E model didn’t have it but the S model did. Does this mean the S models have better audio quality?

Millenials... what can you do ?

[@TheRestartPoint]

The reasons they revise models : Cheaper to make (more profit) less power hungry (the E had unified chips and was less power hungry than the S) and minor improvements in reliability. I think its cool the E exists from a collectors view, you can buy a relatively recently made 360 that will be more reliable than buying the fat or S 360.

[@shanez1215]

Only the Winchester E's unified the chips. Many of them use the same mobo as the Corona slims but with some ports removed.

[@pikachu896]

The E actually is less reliable than the first Slim models which had the Trinity motherboard, and even less reliable than the last fat models which had the Jasper motherboards. The Jasper and especially Jasper v2 (aka Kronos) are built like tanks.

[@bbblop4545]

@@pikachu896 Just out of curiosity are the Jasper and Jasper V2 motherboards somewhat safe from RROD? I already have an Xbox 360 slim and I'm interested in owning an original as well but I'd like to have the model that is least likely to RROD and I still haven't found any information as to which to pick? Would a v2 jasper be best since it's the newest?

[@OllAxe]

I know the main advantage of this model from Microsoft's perspective was that it was made much cheaper to manufacture. Why that wasn't initially reflected in the MSRP is beyond me (I guess they wanted it to still seem as "premium" as the S-model), but I eventually managed to buy one of these in a bundle that included a 320 GB HDD and 4 games (Halo 4 and Forza Horizon as physical, Need for Speed Rivals and some other game I can't remember as digital) for a mere $160. The retail prices of the games alone essentially covered the price of the whole bundle!

[@elektrikkz]

My folks got mine back in 2014 as an upgrade to my original Xbox. I was absolutely mind-blown that I could play online and VOICE CHAT with other people. I kept the box and all the original packaging in mint condition. The box even still has the $200 Kmart price sticker on it lol

[@mcd3379]

A couple of points from someone who was there in the day, from the original Xbox 360 up to the 360E. The 360E was a really important machine and a god send. Why? Well, for most of us who had bought the original machine, we had gone through the pain of the "red rings of death" and countless unreliable machines. When the 360E came along it was the final version and all of the bugs had been fixed. It was quiet and ultra reliable - so much so that my kids are now playing on the machine today. It also enabled all of us who had accumulated a significant library to have a machine that could play that library for years to come. As when it's successor was released, backward compatibility was not being talked about. So the 360E was a really important machine, and we are lucky Microsoft made it.

[@shanez1215]

The 360 E up until mid 2014 was the Corona mobo that MS had used for the slims since 2012 actually. The 360 S is the one known for fixing the RROD, although technically the Jasper version of the fat 360 was the first to do it.

Ive owned every model of 360 at some point in time and this one was actually my favorite. I went through multiple of the first gens, even a couple of the black elite 120gbs due to the red ring of death. It just felt better, cleaner and overall just more reliable. I actually just picked up one of the Blue 500gb variants of the E Model since their are many titles that still aren't and won't become backwards compatible. So to me, the 360 is still to be desired even today, if you're looking to play a few of those unported older titles.

I got one for Christmas the year they came out was an awesome console served we well for many years, the 120GB drive in yours was an expansion drive you could simply load into the slot. I remember maxing out the 4GB internal storage within a few weeks and having to go buy a drive lol. While these are alot more reliable than the early consoles mine still managed to red ring a few years back...

A great reason to have a 360: I have a One S AD so I can’t run any physical 360 games; now that I have a 360 I can get cheap 360 games and just play them

Are they any good performance wise? because I have a slim set up and it takes ages to even load up to start with. I thought it may of been due to the hard drive that was in it so I bought a different one but it still takes ages to start up.

The original 360 had a million revisions because of the undependable hardware. I went through 3 consoles, so the E is basically them saying “Here we figured it out, the last revision.”

[@Jeqwell]

I'm one of the few people who ended up playing this console for years. I told my grandma that I wanted an Xbox for Christmas in 2014 and of course I was expecting a brand spanking new launch Xbox One but I got a brand spanking new 360E instead. Even as a 12 year old kid I immediately knew the difference but it hardly deterred my excitement at finally owning an Xbox. 7 years later and I've only ever owned one other console, that being an Xbox One S. Which I happen to have just given to younger relatives as a fairly late Christmas present since I'll be buying a Series S in a few days.

[@deadpan666true]

I got one of these when my old original Xbox 360’s disc drive stopped working…I mainly chose that model because it was the only one that was available to buy brand new in the store, and it looked pretty cool. I also wasn’t aware that it came in anything other than 500gb HDD, because that’s what was in the one I picked up, and all the 360 S ones I saw only had 250gb or whatever…😁 Anyway, I still use it constantly and have done since about 2014, as there’s a LOT of great games that you still can’t play via backwards compatibility (like, the entire F.E.A.R. series, or the Deadpool game, to name but a few) and I love it!

I remember getting the 4gb model on black friday 2013 for $99 at WalMart, with the kinect (seperate) only being about $70. Little kid me thought this was an amazing deal, as my only exposure to an xbox was at my friend's house. The guy there warned us that the new one was about to launch, but in my mind that was irrelevant because my friends all had 360s, so I'd need a 360 to play with them. My friend got an xbox one for christmas. Felt kinda stupid, but as a kid, $99 was a lot of money (saving up for over a year), and back-compat was pretty grim on launch. Wasn't until 2017 that I got a one s. And last year I got a launch day (kinda) series X. Say what you will about its looks, but the 360 E will always be beautiful to me.
