Manufacturer description
I have a Microsoft Xbox 360 E Console Model 1538 with 500gb hard drive. It does need a good cleaning but powers on good and tray opens good. Includes sims pets 3 which will be inside the console. Only includes power cable and console. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Microsoft Xbox 360 E Console Model 1538 Black System Power Supply… using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro consoles category. Microsoft's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for retro consoles of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
