Manufacturer description
Item has been tested and is working. It has some paint splatter on it but does not affect it working. The hard drive has been taken out. Controller works but the thumb sticks are missing their covers. Works as it should otherwise. Had no issues connecting. Comes with Batman Lego game.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Xbox 360 E Console Model 1538 with Power Cord Comtroller Tested 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.
