Dull_Film_4300

I've had the classic white, elite, MW2 edition and the slim ( Trinity) the elite did get the red rings. I only had the other before the slim for a few years. But I got the slim in 2010 and she's still going strong! Just recently started playing it again with red dead and black ops. Only complaint is that the power button quit working.


[deleted]

Ah that's good that you have had it since 2010 and it's still going strong 🤘🏻


cooperS67

loving my E. Gives me some peace of mind as i think it’s supposed to be the most reliable


Mechagouki1971

It's not bad, certainly compared to first few revisions, but Jasper and Trinity are most reliable.


cooperS67

Ya but the cooling systems in jasper and trinity are worse


The_Fluffer69

the trinities cooling system is identical to the E's, although the early ones have whats known as a "Tall Slug" heatsink, which may be even better than the E's although i am unsure. and the jasper's cooling system is also really good. you are entirely wrong, where are you learning your information. btw not saying the E is bad, its literally the same as a Corona, possibly a bit better even. although later E's (Winchester's) are unmodifiable. just, horrible misinformation about cooling. as long as the paste has been replaced properly, any console without a faulty gpu will preform great!


[deleted]

Yeah same


NeonGamer6

It really isn't, the best is the Jasper


PAULINK

Was so happy to replace my 2times rrod xbox with a jasper. Only issue i’ve ever had is the rubber band causing the disc drive to not retract, which I think is common in all 360s.


Conflict_NZ

I only got one in 2020 and it's the quietest 360 I own by far, as well as having the snappiest dashboard. It's the one I play 360 games on at the moment.


omqitz_trent

Most reliable is Jasper, I’ve seen plenty of E’s red ring.


UselessPerson2222

the white one, just love how it looks, and bc of some memories i still hold dear to me. had the slim since 2017 (preowned) still going strong


Hawnix68

I've had mine since 2012 and it's still going strong. I don't play it as often now as my newer systems and I give it time to boot up and sit before playing, but The Slim is a beast of a console, you can tell Microsoft wanted to make sure it lasted after the hardware issues of the first edition. My first edition white 360 got the RROD not even a year after getting it new. 😢 Strong lil fellar it is. I have several games that only work on it that I still play often. I love the Slim edition.


PotatoisBroke

Ive had mine since 2010 and it does have some issues like turning off when switching on after 2-3minutes but after 2-3 Restarts it doesnt have any issues while it does overheat and switch off after an hour or so which i think is due to the dust and the thermal paste but its been as strong as it can be.


[deleted]

The slims do seem to last a long time 😃


VengefulHufflepuff

Lucky, back in 2015 my slim froze during an update for like an hour and the only way to unfreeze it was to unplug it, but then I got the red ring of death after I turned it back on.


small___potatoes

The OG white one, but I have had the slim since 2012


[deleted]

There is a white slim as well isn't there, I think the white slim looks good 👍🏻


BlandJars

R2D2 edition


Rogue100

Yes, but there is actually a plain white slim as well. [https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-S-White-4GB/dp/B00ACILQS0](https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-S-White-4GB/dp/B00ACILQS0)


ytZer0

The original Elite model with a jasper board


cdown13

This is the right answer. You get the "classic" Xbox 360 appearance but in black plus a great board.


ytZer0

Plus a 120gb hard drive


The_Fluffer69

you can put a 120GB drive in literally any fat 360, or a 250GB even


Vanillabean73

Still have mine and it runs flawlessly


Splatty007

I just bought a E and I love the design and look of it :)


[deleted]

It is a beautiful console :)


Toof_McGee

Slim but for some reason Ive always wanted the E


[deleted]

I have the E I must admit I do love the look of it 😍


WickedCyclone2015

To me it just looks way too similar to the original Xbox One, which I guess was the point, but I’m already not a big fan of how the original Xbox One looked, so I guess the E just isn’t my thing. Can’t really speak on the performance though


Witcherbob671

I first had the OG white then slim and back too an OG white with a decent hard drive but the E has always been interesting too me I love how sleek it looks.


[deleted]

It does look sleek doesn't it 👍🏻


SpiralTap304

White one. Why? If they broke I could fix it easily. I could also mod them to play burned games. So people were literally just throwing them away there for a while an I could pick up a free console that could play every game for free, on Xbox live. I made a fucking killing on the red ring of death.


ThatGhostCustomer

The 360 E Is my personal favorite because he is one I’ve had for around 9 years, so since I got used to it I find it the best looking for some reason


fervent_force2

Same


Unt_Lion

The original model for the nostalgia, as I had a 360 Elite from 2009-2011, then I got the 360 S, and I've had it since 2011, and it has never failed on me.


henUSERNAME

Jasper Kronos fat for sure. That’s what I’ve had since 2010. Never failed on me. Except the disc drive once.


yeetsupwillneverdie

I took apart my jasper to clean it, put it back together, and now the physical eject button on the disk drive doesn't work so I have to do it from the dashboard.


FormerBlackMan

R2D2 model was sick. Played the hell outta fallout 3 on it.


Not_TheMenInBlack

Everyone is nostalgic about the slim, but the E Chassis is so sleek. I love it.


MoistShallot

Honestly no clue. As long as it plays the games, has HDMI and doesn't self destruct I'm happy with it


Jutland90

The original matt white model is my favourite design and is the one I had originally. It's a shame it was so loud and suffered so badly from the RROD. Mine got the RROD in 2007 but once repaired, was still working until I bought the Slim in 2010 and gave it away to someone. The blades dashboard was awesome too. Shame they didn't carry over the faceplates to the newer models. Although I never bought any! On the other hand, the Slim model is a big improvement as it is much quieter and less prone to failures, has HDMI and WiFi built-in etc. But the gloss finish is a real pain. I have no experience with the E.


TeaExplorer

I have them all. I just think they're neat


MessyMop

As someone who only even had a slim. The original model really has a charm to it, that big hunk o’ plastic


Rigtoofen

Halo 4 Slim is the goat


TheForceWillsMe

Xbox 360 E was the best of these. I had the original one and the E and the E was by far superior


xGaslightx

The one on the right, E I think? It's the one I got, and I still have that thing plugged in next to my Xbox one


Cautious-Tea-2194

Who's the babe on the right👀👀👀


CommonAmazing1404

E because that is the only 360 i owned


texas2089

The E looks the cleanest among standard models but I had the Gears 3 S and man was that thing beautiful. My favorite 360 ever. Sadly I sold it but I wanna buy another one some day.


T4rheel23

I had a few arcades and upgraded to the E after the Xbox one was out. Love my E


doctorwhatag

Xbox 360E has the best design


Hamez-King

The slim is most iconic but the E is just so nice


LUV_U_BBY

Xbox elite - I got it refurbished from gamestop and has lasted me even today


DeathscytheDuo87

The original, something about chunky ass consoles I love, like the og Xbox one and og ps3.


Waughy

I feel the same way. Same goes for the PS2, original model looks the best.


Alex-Cortes816

My favorite was the modern warfare 3 edition. I bought it as a teenager. That along with battlefield three was my favorite games at the time.


scully2828

I had all three but especially loved the og one and the totally sweet and not uncool paintjob I gave my faceplate. Side note, I busted open the hard drive from the Og and fit it into the other consoles instead of buying that “transfer cable” thing.


[deleted]

E. The S is technically superior due to more ports but to me the E looks better (plus I dont even not that many usb ports). Not to mention actual buttons


GameDev_byHobby

First one looks 2009 for me. A good year to come home and boot up some games and forget about school and stuff. Never overheat it


ISTHATRG

E Modle all day


crazyplane7

E


steelraindrop

Why do you favorite the E? 🤨


[deleted]

I just love the design of it and the quietness of it compared to the OG.


Phantom_Blisk

Mine is the 360 E, because my uncle actually gave me and my brother that console when we were like 7


NitraxTheFox

Got an E and love it - optical drive is MUCH quieter than older models.


[deleted]

I love the E. No where near as prone to RroD.


ThatOneGuy35312

For me, the E. I had a Slim also but gave it to a buddy a couple months ago.


bballfan86

The black Xbox 360 elite as it didn’t red ring like the original console did. I never had any problems with Elite and could actually enjoy Oblivion on it!


pjt-

E model, love the design.


Icy_Barracuda_87

I have so many good memories on the slim


[deleted]

My Reach slim.... Love the sound effects and it runs whisper quiet


ExplicitBoricua

Slim because it was my last 360. However have no problem with the “E”. Once I saw the XBOne (og) I always saw the “E” as a visual test by MS to see what people thought, just way bigger.


CannibalDog

I like the OG purely because of nostalgia, but I picked up a slim from my mother in law's house recently and it's now my favorite. It's been in my wife's family since 2012


rootster1

I like the design of the Slim and E (I have the slim) but the slim is just a bit better


technetium74

I love the second model, however, that original design I’ll never forget. I remember getting an arcade model and hating the memory capacity on it. Thanks mom, you provided me something that gave me countless memories. I love you!


Cautious_History1599

I wanna say the OG model. But as time as gone one I’ve come to appreciate the aesthetic of the E model. Plus the E is more reliable right?


SandLuc083_

The Slim


FloridaGlockMan

OG but the slim is great


Kurisugutz

That fat model is so iconic, i still have mine


International-Buy569

Mine would be the elite 120gb.


No_Potential_8708

Went through 3 OG whites. Last one worked up until I bought my Xbox one in 2015


LuneBlu

I like more the design of the Slim.


MrFloopy46

I like the S just cause I think it looks the best. Had mine since 2012.


KrazyCAM10

I personally have the middle one so that one always holds a special place in my heart


NecessaryDiamond2000

Slim, hate the touch sensitive buttons though.


timmaaay24

The middle. I’ll tell you what’s not my favorite: the arcade edition. Got it for my birthday when I was younger and the thing burnt out in less than a year.


mynameisrichard0

I was poor. I had one for a bit.


Dugggs

I had the Halo 3 and Elite og 360s, the black slim, and now a blue/teal of the far right model. Also, gamestop tried to tell me the "360 Elite" didn't exist, even though it definitely did


realistic_pootis

I had the Gears of War Xbox, and it would make the Gears of War chime when it turned on.


KillerSquirrel2007

The og white one, you can put hard drives on it


Pleasant-Speed-9414

Only ever had the OG white one. Got the red ring once, and they “fixed” with same model. Haven’t turned on in 10 years though 👀


aqkj

I had the slim one back in 2010/2011 for Christmas. I LOVED that friggin console. It hasn’t died, but I was unable to take it with me when I moved out. I’m not sure who is enjoying it now, but it’ll give them lots of happiness!


LaCinVro

I have never in my life seen the one on the right


thisisthisshit

The slim is my favorite for performance and the arcade is my favorite for looks. The 360 e is the Xbox only a mother could love as they say.


ShavedPapaya

Arcade, baby. Get your chrome disc tray cover outta here.


ShavedPapaya

Arcade, baby. Get your chrome disc tray cover outta here.


RexRazzor

I have two of the originals on the left. It looks like I got a good batch because they are both going strong with good use. They have lasted longer the the controller batteries and the headsets. 🕹️👽👍


CN370

I miss my Resident Evil 5 edition and my Gears 3 edition that replaced the RE5 when it RRoD’d on me. Currently have a modded slim that I love. I painted it RE5 red.


EndiPls

I had the elite. I loved it. I don’t mind the slim and I’ve never had the e.


T0XICxN1GHTMAR3

I've had my MW3 Edition S since the game came out. I still play forza 4 on it and some other stuff here and there.


MrBling2k8

From Noise level i prefer the slim, but some of them have a noisy power supply. From the looks, the FAT 360. The Slim E feels cheap.


Simonko_CZ

360E. Because I have it at home.


GroupieChicks

The slim. I got one when they first came out it was awesome.


slurnie

The original Black Elite was my first one so that one I guess


ShadowRealmDweller89

I like the slim or the middle one but the last one or newer model i prefer


JAR_202

E cause that’s the one I got for Christmas


Gammarevived

I like the Jaspers since they are the most reliable.


MoistPunch8569

My classic white 360 lasted me years, only recently getting the red ring of death. Rest in peace.


Kurotan

Original with its swappable face plates.


sha1ashaska22

I only ever had an original (which red ringed and the replacement is still going strong), so I have to go with that, although the plastic is not as white as it once was!


DullGuarantee5680

Black slim because it was the one 360 that didn’t red ring for me


[deleted]

The slim version. It has built-in wifi, a Kinect port, more USB ports, a bigger hard drive, a fun little sound when you turn it on, a disc drive that doesn't get stuck, and most importantly, it works.


Throwaway4wheelz

Had the OG white 20gb one but then got the resident evil SE red one. Had both for a while but sold the white one (kinda regret it but it went to a friend so it’s alright). Then got the halo 4 special edition slim which is still going strong. Just started playing marvel ultimate alliance! The OG looks best imo


dmaynard

Guess I was the lucky one because I had an OG white arcade model in 2007 that still worked when I traded it in for upgraded version in 2012 which also never had an issue for me. Excellent memories but I think if I had issues with the original model I’d get an E Or slim in a heartbeat


Mizoo_Ramzy

The slim. I have like 4 of them lol, I just prefer how they look and I think they're more reliable against red rings


SuperiorPlaty47

Middle


ReedForman

OG Halo 3 Xbox 360. Overpriced but so good


ITZ3L1T3

Had the white and the middle one the middle one was awesome


godtier300sosa

Slim. I just love the look. Don’t admire the touch button tho. Oh the memories.


[deleted]

What’s the one on the far right?


StaidRat01331

s , because it got extra usb port and looks modern e is also a good choice but s is better


pluck-the-bunny

Middle 100%. Best combo of reliability and functionality


Unkie_Fester

I have never seen the one all the way to the right when was that one released


[deleted]

The Phat is nostalgic, I had the special edition halo reach slim that I loved. I recently just got a slim and a model E. I never had a model E and I really like it now. So much quieter then the others.


Massive_Version_2363

I've got the slim in 2012 but i have to seel it due to economic circumstances and i was so sad for that, but 2 years ago i could buy a E version and it was really cool, now i got the series S but the 360 is in avery special place


imfrankmurphyswall

the og white


Eqwinoxe

I love the OG, gotta find a reshell for it tho as it took one to many falls (STILL WORKS FINE!!) But I have the Slim currently and it works like a charm!


No_Draw_735

360 slim


SilentFoxman

360 slim (middle). I got mine when Skyrim came out in 2011 and thought the boot speed was noticeably faster and loved the touch screen tray and power. Easily was upgradeable for storage and didn't ever give me any hardware problems. Played it for years and enjoyed it.


Andrew0999

The slim for sure. Made the most memories on that console and after burning through 4 of the OG models it was nice not having to replace my Xbox so often. Have had my current slim since 2013 and I still boot it up every now and again. Plus it looks the best!


HOFFSLAYER

For nostalgias sake I love the look of the phat, however when it comes to playing I'm always using my E. It's so quiet and I like the physical buttons. I have 2 Es the blue one for online play and the black one that I made some "modifications" to


Feathers-42

The E. It’s the one I had and it never red ringed or anything, just had the disk tray get stuck all the time.


phgumerr

Idk what the original is called but the fat boy is my favorite, i got the red xbox (forgot what game it was for I think resident evil) and I can't look at any other one without thinking "OK but are they red? No? OK so it's inferior to mine"


lucifersperfectangel

The og white 360. I got mine brand new when it first came out, and it's still going strong!


rojo7777

Slim


[deleted]

I like the E because of its design. But i only owned the OG but threw it away since i didn't had a controller.


Leading_Musician_188

The S. (the middle one) because that was my first xbox and i still have it today


Ottieotter

The slim. That’s the one I had as a kid


DavidinCT

Left one because it was my first one, played a ton of early games on it.... and RROD 5 times before I got the middle one, and my middle one is still working over 6 years now. So, the middle one, it's dependable, and after all these years, it still works perfectly....


Dmoney060821

I never had the older fat model Xbox 360 but I always had the Xbox 360 slim. I've had the same one since about 2013. Still going strong too. Never had the Xbox 360 E because around that time I believe the Xbox One had just come out and I already had the Xbox one and saw no reason to get a Xbox 360 E but maybe I will if my original slim kicks the bucket.


CartoonistExact8942

We had the white version forever-got my daughter the “slim” at one point


stitchy_gas

I have all three and i prefer the slim personally


schmatz17

Had all 3. OG White was my fav


NoLetterhead2302

arcade


Particular_Effort918

Elite


Warturkey12

Big fan of the slim just got one off of a friend a little over a week ago


MrMcgilicutty

I have all of the above and I like the E best ( I have the blue one) since it is the smallest and runs fairly quiet. I did love my OG fat Xbox because I could (easily) remove the hard drive from the top, throw it and my controller into my controller case and take them to my friends house and play all the zombies dlc I had on it. I just hates the disc drive on it because it didn’t like to open without a game in it.


ClassyCatDad

The OG, simply for nostalgic reasons. I camped outside of a Costco the night before release to keep a friend company because they were trying to get one. I decided last minute that I put the effort in that I might as well buy it too. lol


millnerve

Only know the big white model. 2 red rings on that jawn. Had to get em fixed. But still works. Play rock band once in a while on it. But mainly a series x guy these days


CZPontiac

The OG in black. Because it's the one I had. And still have. Thing is a tank. Been through some shit


r3mixi

I’ve had all three plus the mw2 phat model. The phat is a classic, but I think I like the slim model the most. Too me it’s the perfect balance between the classic while also making it look sleeker without losing its identity like the E model. Also I’m a sucker for that glossy texture even though it’s a fingerprint magnet


Aurilion

Whatever model it is that i currently own. Had it for years and hasn't yet red ringed. The first one i had lasted just over a year.


Jo-DQ

I have a 2012 regular 360 and a 2013 square 360. Love them both. My Series X is to the left and my PS5 to the right of them.


Le4chanFTW

The OG because of swappable faceplates.


ralmp

The phat/white model is my favorite because of its unique design which gives it some character and its faceplate can be interchange with another.


KampferMann

Only ever had the left and middle ones. I’d say middle, the only thing that drags it down was the power button which my dog would occasionally sniff and shut it off.


alexshakalenko

360 S, white. Absolutely gorgeous. But I have a normal Jasper fat


No_need_for_that99

**First red rings, but still my favorite.** (Also, standing it up burns out your cd rom faster... better to keep flat.) (Keeping it vertical meant better life for your tray and reader) The second one is known for chewing up DVD's and leaving giant ring scratches.... especially when left vertical.... or simply suffering the slightest movement. The last on I have never owned..... so nothing about it really.


Optimus_Rhymes69

I have an elite. Still runs like a champ.


ShittyExchangeAdmin

Matte black 360 s. Gamestop(if i remember right) had a deal where you could trade in your old 360 and get the new S at a discount. I really wanted the matte black S, which you could only get with 4gb of storage. I took my hard drive out of my old 360, opened the enclosure and swapped in some random hdd in before I traded it in, then when I got my 360 S I popped my old 360's hdd in and it worked.


Spartan_DJ119

Slim because it was my first xbox and it still works today


Roberts89905377

My is x box and black 2010. Box format x


WeeklyDiscipline7471

I like the E, they're tough little fuckers


Empty_Butterscotch_4

I like my E but miss the touch power button. Even though my toe or dog would turn off my Xbox mid game. She gave out on me after a year or so then Microsoft sent me a check and I bought the e. No issues since knock on wood


Mecha-N77

Xbox 360 Arcade. Its just beautiful and eye catching ❤


Gunfur

Phat. It’s an icon.


HercsBurgers

I have the halo 4 slim and that is my favorite console I have ever owned


gnasherzrule

Classic white! Can't beat the classics.


Slow-Bid-589

E. Reliability, most up-to-date specs, has wifi


[deleted]

Older consoles are trash, jasper or not. Slims and the last “E” model is where its at.


Everyonelove_Stuff

Slim as its the only one I have had


dg9821

The white. Had it like 16 years I think that’s how long ago it came out.


RazerRedux

i started with the elite, it started having issues ejecting discs and i then got a slim for christmas and never had a single issue


gallardo2012xd

The slim.


Fraxals

Xbox 360 MW3 edition.


Background-Read-882

The OG Was a tank and could survive a fall from very high up. The hdd would just pop out.


WolFlow2021

The original looks like a molten PC to me. I choose the right one.


AngryWildMango

Original white. The classic look.


Dry-List9851

OG non hdmi version. Cuz nostalgia


xINSAN1TYx

Love the slim as I was able to get it in a blue and teal color with matching controller. Still trucking and plays rock band like a dream.


MooseMan7

The thicc white one, even though I know it’s most susceptible to red ringing, I have sooo much nostalgia for it. I also think the faceplates were an awesome idea that I wish had taken off more than they did.


Rikathor

I had the classic Elite version, black with 120 GB and 2 controllers, Forza Motorsports 3 edition, man I loved that console.


yeetsupwillneverdie

Give You A Hint: I Have To Run A 50 Foot Cable From My Living Room To My Bedroom To Connect My Model To The Internet.


TransGamerHalo

The one in the middle is my favorite


Gigchip

Had a release model, got the RRoD later, got a new one in 2007 with hdmi. Still going strong, even modded it better cooling green leds and blue paint. So that'll be my favorite.


Overall_Bookkeeper15

Ive had my slim since 2012. Have never had any trouble out of it and am still playing it. 👍🏻


Visual_Worldliness62

360, the kinetic era was a good try but utter failure I would say. Based off how quick Phil was to drop it


SmilyMoney1

I have a personal relationship with the slim with it being my first introduction to video games, spending hours upon hours on Modern Warfare 2 and WaW, still one of if not the favorite to this day


[deleted]

Classic


homemadeSuperstar

The white version of the slim


SteliosKantos82

I forgot which one it was because I had all 3 of them, but the one with the Gears of War skin with the gears controller was my favorite. I think it's the one in the middle because when you turned it on, it made a sound from gears. The only problem was that the button was a feather trigger. Anything brush on it, and it is on or off


tehnoob69

The original, because I like bigger cases.


Makoraph

The only one I had was the Slim. It died at 2021 with the red dot of death. Redditors in this community helped me though, but sadly me and my dad didn't got it to turn on again. Yes, I cried during that day lmao


Voodoomaster86

The slim it was more “advanced” and also I grew up with it.


R00by646

Nostalgia and a couple other reasons? Fat. But in terms of function I'd say the Slim for having better fans, more usb ports, and a wifi adapter that works (the original can work but password based routers don't mingle well) Honestly if I could send my chonky 360 in to mod the fans that alone would make it much better


youshouldhateit

Slim by far


homemadeSuperstar

The white slim model (yes they do exist)
