Nowadays in 2019: second hand Xbox 360 Slim or Super Slim?

Rider del espacio · Apr 5, 2019

Hello guys!

I am planning to buy a Xbox 360 in a second hand shop. There are several options and I am not sure which of them could be the best. My last console was the super nintendo, so I am a bit lost and I need some help please.

- There are 2 options in my mind: Xbox 360 Slim or Xbox 360 Super Slim?

I have heard that the Slim has stronger outside plastic. Any problems with the outside plastic of the Super Slim?

Also the buttons are different: tactile for the Slim, normal for the Super Slim. Any problems with the tactile buttons?

What about the refrigeration? it is maybe the same?

and the noise?

what console give less problems or has longer life?

and what it is easier to maintain?

we are in 2019... is the Slim too old to buy it second hand? or both consoles can be the same old? (probably they kept producing both consoles at the same time?)

any other difference between both consoles?

what console of these two do you recommend me to buy nowadays in a second hand shop?

I am looking forward to hearing from you,

All the best

Many thanks

:)

As with all 360 consoles, you can choose to install the games to the hard drive, but you will need to insert the disc in the DVD drive, when you want to play them. Xbox uses a disc check to make sure the content licenses match.

I am planning to buy the games from the second hand shop in a physical format (DVD)... and playing using the DVD... at the moment I am not planning to get the Xbox live gold... but who knows in a future...

by the way, is there a way to transfer the games from the DVD to the Hard Drive? in that case the Hard Drive would be interesting to keep the games.... and playing from the Hard Drive... and maybe to increase the life of the DVD reader? thanks. All the best

Also I need some help to choose the Hard Drive of the console please. If you can help me, that would be great!:

In the shop there are several options about the Hard Drive that comes with the console (both for the Slim and the Super Slim): No HD, 4GB, 250GB, 320GB, 500GB

any of these consoles are more recommendable than the rest? or they are the same but with different hard drive? which of them are older models?

I have heard that in the case of the 4GB, the 4GB are integrated in the motherboard and there is still a free slot to add the common Hard Drive. It is that true? Any problems with the Hard Drive of 4GB? Could I get the Xbox 360 with 4GB and add a 250GB
hard Drive for example?

How many GB of hard drive do I need to enjoy the Xbox 360 games without problems?

How many GB do you recommend me for the Xbox 360?

and what about the non-official Hard Drives? there are problems of compatibility?

I am looking forward to hearing from you,

All the best

Thanks a lot guys

sorry i am a bit lost... why a Xbox One instead? i don't know if there is a way to enjoy so many games like with the Xbox 360 without worry too much about the money... definitly it is not time for me to buy a Xbox One... I would like to play to a lot of
games... but this is not affordable for me with an Xbox One... I don't know if in the Xbox live gold it is affordable, but in the shop it is not at all. Do you mean to play to Xbox 360 games? thanks. All the best
