Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) I have thought about getting a 360 for a long time and am waiting for the GameStop (EB) in the city center to reopen to see if there are better offers than I could get from the 3 others in Frankfurt. Well at the moment there are some decent offers like a Xbox 360 s (used) with 4gb and no controller is just 50€ and I already have a xbox controller form my pc so thats no cut off at the deal. Or there are still left overs from the xbox360 e 500 gb (new) (black +cod bo2 dl-key +cod ghosts) edition which would set me back 200€. I can see that this is not the go to deal cuz a one is only 250€ without kinect and controller and there are no games coming for the 360 except maybe FIFA and NHL but I want to play games I doubt will ever be available on comptabilty for the one because some of these licenses aren't anymore available or some companies just do not exist anymore. So therefore which 360 should i get the e or the s? Edited February 21, 2016 by epicpants Visual appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So therefore which 360 should i get the e or the s? the games you wanna play work on all of them, unless you wanna play some old xbox games at which point it still doesnt make a difference in which system you wanna play, because they all run the same firmware, the only difference is a hardware specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 21, 2016 No offense, but why is there even a console gaming thing on linustechtips? CPU: i5 4690 GPU: Powercolor R9 390 RAM: 2X4GB DDR3-1600 G.Skill Ripjaws X Case: NZXT S340 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H CPU Cooler: Some cooler I took off of an old Socket 775 Mobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 22, 2016 Don't bother with the 4gb model, unless you somehow find a deal on a hard drive to put in it. You'll barely have space for one game installed. And unlike the PS3 you can't just stick in any 2.5" willy-nilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, because Nintendo is still a company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unlike the PS3 you can't just stick in any 2.5" willy-nilly. Any 1.5 will do perfectly fine for the 4gb model, as long is its formated thru the console itself, and i think a 2.5 is too big for the hard drive enclosure anyways, and no SSDs either As for installing games, its not required to install them on a xbox to play them unlike a ps3, the only benefit on a 360 is that if your disk gets scratched you will only need the disc to boot up the installed game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB thumb drives are super cheap and you can use now USB ssds or HDDs up to 2tb, you may later on use them for a PC which is kind of an advantage. And I happily will take the longer loading times if I can later repurpose a part of something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
