Xbox 360 E 250GB Console

Product Information

I believe they are identical in terms of chips/hardware/noise/heat but the S has optical and some little trimmings. A noise test I saw the E was just almost indiscernibly a bit quieter but both are pretty much the same.

Another slight difference: the touch power and eject controls from the 360 S have been replaced with more-traditional physical buttons. Bottom line: if you want to do anything fun on the 360 beyond playing single-player games, you'll want to budget the annual Xbox Live Gold subscription into your plans -- or plan on getting one of those alternatives instead.a b Alexander, Leigh (March 31, 2011).

Well, that's for you to decide. To make your decision easier, however, we have compiled all of the various pros and cons of each of the Xbox 360's major iterations. Xbox 360 Elite Xbox 360 Elite vs S vs E: What Are The Differences? 5 Despite being a new model, the Xbox 360 E doesn't really have many new features compared to the Xbox 360 S. I recently went through the process of choosing one and ended up going with the S. MS claims the E is quieter and runs cooler than the S. In all my research I found that to be bullshit. Perhaps it runs a little cooler, but as far as noise goes they were identical. In other words, both were pretty much silent except when a disc was spinning, and even then it was near silent.
