Xbox 360: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:49, 28 February 2019

The Xbox 360 is Microsoft's successor to the Xbox. It was launched on November 22, 2005 in North America as it features an improved CPU, better graphics, and advanced online gaming capabilities. It directly rivals Sony's PlayStation 3, and the Nintendo Wii.

The Xbox 360 Elite is an updated version of the original console, with a 120GB hard drive and HDMI output; later revisions of the original Xbox 360 would later include HDMI output. The original Xbox 360 was notorious for hardware failures, most notably the "Red Ring of Death".

The Xbox 360 S is a major hardware redesign of the original design of Xbox 360 announced and released on June 14, 2010. The Xbox 360 S addresses the reliability issues of the original console, and comes standard with a built-in wi-fi adapter and a 250GB HDD drive; a lower priced version with 4GB of on-board flash memory was also available. The Xbox 360 E, announced and released on June 10, 2013, is a refresh of the Xbox 360 S, featuring a chassis design similar to its successor, the Xbox One. The Xbox 360 E also has one less USB port and lacks support for optical digital audio output, component video output, and VGA video output; the only outputs available are HDMI and composite via a 3.5mm TRRS cable.

The Xbox 360 was discontinued worldwide on April 20, 2016; however, Xbox Live services remain available.
