--- Quote from: vivigamer on February 16, 2021, 03:36:55 am ---I snagged a 360 Slim bundle a few years back and it was a great investment. I had a PS3 for that generation but there are many 360 exclusives worth playing. I also snagged the 500GB HDD for fairly cheap online and it's certainly worth the upgrade.

What's puzzling is how the 360 plays many backwards compatible title not available on the Xbox One or Series X. It's why I still have the system so I can play games like Crash Twinsanity, Burnout 3, Sonic Heroes and more - which are better version than the PS2 counterparts thanks to the upscaling.

It's also a good idea in my opinion to get an original Xbox, as well as the Xbox 360 slim that way you can play all games exclusive to that specific console, for example Corvette on the Xbox Original only works on the Original 6th generation Xbox console, and it does not play even on an upgraded Xbox 360. But you're from the UK so I don't think that game came out for the (EU) territory of consoles but you should be able to at least get the PS2 version. That game is kind of harder than Forza 3 since you have no driving aids in that racing game.

Got mine, the "core bundle" one, I wanna say in holiday of 08? Comparatively the price was a lot more affordable, the online was more reputable, the game selection was more robust, the exclusives at the time were somewhat intriguing and 360 stuff was just in abundance at the time. Mine never red ringed, thankfully. But I did have some problems with Bully Scholarship Edition freezing. I actually didn't play it a whole lot, as I soon after started to get into retro gaming and Nintendo Wii.

It's one of those consoles where I actually have a lot of games in my collection I've neglected to play. In the late 2000s, and early 2010s I was buying way more games than I was playing and didn't get around to a big chunk of them. I've got a few backup 360s I salvaged from GS's garbage that all work, in case mine doesn't make it through my library of games.

Received my slim today in pretty decent shape . Needs the dust blown out as expected . I tested it with a little Call of Duty: World at War . Now I've been eyeballing 360 E's . I think I need one of those too someday .

I never heard about the Xbox360 E model until now. Quick research says that the E models are newer, than the S models apparently. it's supposed to be quieter than the S models. I am amazed that the Xbox360 E even exists I thought mine was the newest model, guess I was wrong.

News to me as well. Never knew there was an E model. I just assumed it was a typo.
