Xbox 360 Slim 250GB Console

Came in good condition and works great!

The Xbox 360 Slim 250GB Console is a gaming marvel. From the moment I plugged it in, I was immersed in a world of entertainment like never before. Its sleek design caught my eye, and the performance exceeded my expectations. With a vast library of games to choose from, I found myself lost in the gaming universe for hours on end. The graphics were crisp, and the gameplay was incredibly smooth. Whether I was battling monsters, racing through exotic tracks, or solving puzzles, the Xbox 360 Slim delivered an immersive and enjoyable experience every time. One of the standout features for me was the generous 250GB storage capacity. It allowed me to download and store a multitude of games, music, and movies without worrying about running out of space. Plus, the console's built-in Wi-Fi made it a breeze to connect to the Xbox Live community, where I could play with friends and discover new content. The Xbox 360 Slim 250GB Console truly transformed my gaming and entertainment experiences. It's a product I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a top-tier gaming console that offers a vast gaming library, excellent performance, and ample storage space. It's a gaming companion I cherish, and it has brought countless hours of joy into my life.

My five-year-old Xbox needed replacing. It wasn't because of a failure with the console itself (I'd already gone through the red-rings a few years back, and the console was repaired under warranty, and worked fine), but the attached hard drive was slowing down/wearing out, causing lag in multiplayer and error messages during video streaming. Because my Xbox was an older non-Slim model, I couldn't buy a new hard drive for it, and the "refurbished" drives that Gamestop sells (really not refurbished any more than simply wiped of data and re-sold) were as old as my hard drive, or older. Thanks to Microsoft using a proprietary hard drive format, I was having to replace a working console. For cost reasons, my preference was just to wait until the next-gen Xbox. With Halo 4 coming out, and the prospect of missing out on multiplayer with friends, I decided to buy a new Xbox. Fortunately, Amazon had cut $50 off the price, and I was able to get the machine on this page before Amazon sold out. Because I selected Super Saver Shipping, Amazon sat on the order for a week, then shipped it in two days (go figure). As much as this new Xbox was a grudge purchase, I have to say the Slim model is a treat to use after the old white model I have. First, I can't hear it under my desk. The white model sounded like a hair dryer, and the noise alone pushed me to use my PS3 more often. Now, the Xbox Slim and the PS3 are equally pleasant to use. Also, the smaller form factor of the Slim is appreciated. In a world where an iPhone makes headlines for getting a few mm thinner, it's also nice that consoles are shrinking. The Slim's design looks like it was made by a hardware company, finally, and not a software giant that reaches for white plastic as a case solution. Since it is wise for console owners to keep their machines in well-ventilated areas due to the heat these things generate (I have mine out in the open), how the Xbox looks is relevant, even though it is simply a game machine. What is most enjoyable about this new Xbox Slim, for me, I am now certain that any lag in function, either online, or with the Xbox dashboard, is due to my internet connection, or to the Xbox software, and not an aging console or hard drive. Having confidence in your hardware, especially when playing multiplayer games online, is a bonus, since lag or slow write speeds impact the performance you're striving for in a multiplayer environment. If I were just playing single player games, for example, I would have ridden the white Xbox until it literally broke down. Moving from older hardware to the latest version also gives me perspective on what Microsoft has failed to improve on. The Xbox dashboard is laggy, and has been since before Xbox avatars were introduced. It's not a deal-breaker, especially given Microsoft's advantages, including an excellent chat feature that "just works" every time you use it, but you would think Microsoft could tap into some hardware acceleration, to give later-model users a bit faster load times on the dashboard. The same complaint could be levied against the DVD-ROM drive, which takes just as long to install a game to the hard drive as my five-year-old machine did. It's a moot point now, as Microsoft is undoubtedly focused on the next-generation Xbox, but if these small advantages had been implemented when the Slim was designed, it would have given upgraders like myself, forced upgraders some of us, a little bit of extra value. (I realize every Xbox needs to have the same performance capabilities in online settings, to keep a level playing field. It may have been problematic, but the Xbox still feels needlessly slow to use.) If you find yourself with an Xbox you don't trust anymore, or are tired of the loud noise of an older model, there is still a year before the next-gen machine arrives, at least. A multiplayer gamer will get a lot out of a new Xbox, especially at $249. I went back and forth on it, but now that I upgraded, even this late in the cycle, I find the Slim just good enough to justify the expense.

I bought this Xbox refurbished from user "BigOutlet". I was impressed. For some reason I hadn't realized I was getting a wireless controller, so that was a nice surprise. Everything works well out of the box. There are some light scratches on the unit, but it's refurbished, so that's expected. My previous (dead) Xbox was a first-generation, so I was very impressed with how much nicer the picture is with HDMI capability. This was a much better option than what I would have done otherwise, which is buy a used one off Craigslist. Buying a legit refurbished one means I get a 90-day warranty, which is definitely better than a sketchy Craigslist one that may or may not work at all.

I bought my Xbox from LotsaElectronics. It was described correctly, with the exception of one thing: it did not come with a standard warranty. So yes, I was upset about that. And now about the Xbox itself. Good look, nice feel. One thing that bugs me about it, the surface scratches very easily. It is very scratched now. Okay, so you may be wondering why I gave it 3 stars. Well... it stopped reading discs about 3 months after purchase. Although this was an easy fix because it was just dusty, it is annoying for that to happen. Apparently it gets dusty in the disc tray very fast and easily. Unlike most people that say they would rather have bought the PS3, I disagree. Even though I've had problems it has been fun. Plus the PS3 is 30 dollars more expensive. All in all, it comes down to your personal choice. For example, I like the Xbox Live experience more than PS3. And the controllers on the Xbox are more comfortable. Yep, that's all I have to say. Hope this review helps you make a decision.

La palanca de XBOX 360, está dañada del mástil (movimiento de dedo). Y está rota la misma parte. Esta misma se mueve como si estuviese desconectados los cables de agarre del botón.
