The Forgotten Xbox 360 E - Retrospective Review

[@91Tech]

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​​​​​​

It was cool, just such a weird launch given the Xbox One happened so soon after and it changed basically nothing but the design from the already fine Xbox 360 S.

So I have this Xbox. My uncle died about 2 1/2 years ago and this was one of the things I received from him. I remember looking at it and being amazed at how different it was. I still use it to this day, keeping only mine and his Xbox accounts on it. It's sad to see his avatar forever asleep, But all his progress on there will live on. Thanks Uncle E, for all of the memories you've giving me before and after you left us.

Yeah the only model I like better is the series S because it’s so tiny but has a big punch.

[@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.

I know the main advantage of this model from Microsoft's perspective was that it was made much cheaper to manufacture.

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.

[@Harryofbath]

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.

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.
