Microsoft Xbox 360

This Xbox 360 was donated to me and is the newest console I have, It is one of the original Xbox 360's with a 60GB hard disc. Unusually it still works, no red ring of death here



The sides are plain with the XBOX 360 logo stamped on each side



The front has the disc tray, an infra red port, two memory card slots, a connect button for the controllers, and two USB ports under a flap (which is stuck down on mine)
The rear has the power socket, a multi-av out, HDMI out, a USB, and a Ethernet port



Here is the 60GB hard disc, which pops off with the press of a button



Here is the top and bottom of the hard disk



The bottom just has vents



Close up of the front USB and memory card slots




I got one official Microsoft controller, which is a bit temperamental, and it has the wrong battery compartment



I also got the wifi adaptor



This is the power supply



For some reason I got three AV leads, two composite leads...



And a component lead with optical audio out



I do have a box, it's the wrong box, but it's somewhere to keep it safe



This disc was in the tray, it's the only game I have so far. Bit too modern for me

Hardware updates
Original XBOX controller, which works
This came with a rechargeable battery, but I don't have the charging lead



More hardware updates
At a recent car boot sale I bought a box of Xbox stuff which had these Xbox 360 bits in as well



An Xbox360 composite video lead and a Kinect



A Xbox360 power pack



And whatever this is


More updates



Another working Xbox 360, this is a later model with a 120GB hard disc and a Gears of War vinyl cover applied to the (white) fascia



Another PSU



Another Kinect



Another Wifi dongle



Two video leads with RCA to SCART adaptor



Another controller with rechargeable battery with two USB leads, and the official headset



Some Disney Infinity "thing" with a Tow Mater "thing" to go on it



Halo 4



Army of two


Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player

This was one of those "That can't be right?" moments, this was in the window of a local CEX for only £10, so obviously I immediately bought it



It looks very much like a shrunken Xbox 360



However the disc tray and connection ports are not in the same place



The disc tray and ports would be on the sides of the Xbox 360



Size comparisons



Here is the unusually normal power brick with a figure 8 power lead and standard barrel plug



And a completely normal mini USB lead



It seems to work, but the Xbox 360 complains it can't read normal DVD's in it, so I wonder if it only plays HD-DVDs?
Apparently you can connect it to a PC and use it as an external DVD player, but you need drivers for HD-DVDs, anyway these are the meta-files each HD-DVD leaves on the unit, the only title is The Jimi Hendrix Experience
