Never had a 360 but got an urge to pick one up, to play a couple of exclusive games, just wondering what is the best (UK) version to get, and what price is the going rate?

I have a boxed 'E' model that I think looks really cool. I've been using an 'S' model as my go-to machine and it runs cool and never has any problems. Looks like an 'E' model goes for between £40-£60 depending on the HDD size.
I have nightmares of my original Xbox getting the RROD.Last edited by Leon Retro; 20-08-2019, 17:19.

Also, not every game is backwards compatible, so if you're going the One route, might be worth checking the list of backwards compatible games as the lack of a lot of games means I've not got rid of my 360:

I get where you're coming from, though, it's just I wanted to highlight the price discrepancy and the incomplete BC library.
It's also worth noting that Microsoft have stopped making games backwards compatible.

I think it really just comes down to what you want to play. If you just want a games machine, any games machine, yeah, get a One. It's a current system with new games being released for it, and you can get a used machine for ~£120 or less if you shop around. As a bonus, some 360 stuff works.
If you specifically want to explore the 360 library, then you might as well just buy a good condition used 360 for £60. You'll then have 100% compatibility with all software (most of said software costing you about £2 to £5!).

Plus you also get a bigger harddrive and better 5g Wi Fi built in. I can think of just a few 360 games that I like to BC, that aren't
