About this deal

Xbox Alpha Tower I • Xbox Alpha Tower II • Xbox Development Kit • Xbox 360 Development Kit • Xbox One Development Kit Connectivity options are almost unchanged from the previous model Xbox 360. The proprietary AV port remains, as does an HDMI port, but the digital optical audio output is now on the console itself, although it can still be accessed via the AV adaptor is you so choose. Best of all, however, is the provision of built-in 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. Not only is this much more convenient than attaching an adaptor, it’s also a significant cost saving considering how ungodly expensive the Xbox 360 Wi-Fi adaptor was. The Xbox 360 250GB’s power and eject buttons are now capacitive, rather than physical. Whether the ‘bing’ sound accompanying the DVD drive ejection is an intentional tie-in to Microsoft’s search engine is debatable, but we don’t believe in co-incidence. The limited editions of the Xbox 360 S included one or two matching controllers depending on the edition. Realistically, there are very few compelling reasons to upgrade to the Xbox 360 250GB if you have a previous model. Sure it’s less power-hungry, quieter and has a larger capacity hard drive bundled than the Elite (limited edition specials accepted) ever did but under the window dressing it’s still just an Xbox.

There was one more thing, too… oh yes: you’ll be surprised to hear that this Xbox 360 has a 250GB hard drive. Who would have guessed? The chassis isn’t really that much smaller, measuring 270mm x 75mm x 264mm versus the old unit’s 310mm x 80mm x 260mm. That’s a 17 per cent reduction in volume (from 6.5 litres to 5.4 litres maths fans) but in practical terms you’ll be allocating about the same amount of free space to this console as the previous SKU. The system’s weight is down from 3.5kg to 2.9kg – although quite who would upgrade to or buy the Xbox 360 250GB just because it’s a little lighter is beyond comprehension. The Halo: Reach edition featured a 250GB hard drive, with subsequent limited editions including the 320GB upgrade. Call it what you will. The Xbox 360 Slim, the Xbox 360 Slimline the Xbox 360 S or even what Microsoft has actually decided to go with: the Xbox 360 250GB. The name doesn’t matter, what matters is that it’s here and whether it’s a worthy upgrade to its rather successful predecessor. The Halo 4 edition included two matching controllers and was the only edition to have controllers which also featured blue lights.The Xbox 360 S dropped support for swappable faceplates due to the change in design and form factor.

The Star Wars and Halo 4 editions of the Xbox 360 S are the only editions to feature blue power lights instead of the standard green. While the hardware layout has changed, the core specs of the Xbox 360 250GB remain entirely unchanged. Updates in pursuit of power reduction aside, there’s nothing different about the Xbox 360 260GB’s silicon. This is, of course, only expected.
