Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite
I recently picked up this Xbox 360 Elite and games from Facebook Marketplace for just £45, it's fully working even though I got into Portal 2 while testing and forgot to take photos of it while it was set up and working, I will have to set it up again and remember to take photos next time. This Xbox360 is in better condition than the other Xbox 360s I have. The previous owner didn't bother wiping any data from the hard disc, so I had to do it when I got it home
Very similar to the original Xbox, but finished in matte black and comes with a larger hard disc, I already have a black Xbox360 with a 120GB hard disc which I didn't realise was an Elite at the time, although it has a white faceplate with a Gears of War sticker applied
120GB hard disc fitted and underneath
All looking very familiar to the previous versions, just matte black now
Another wireless adaptor, I already have two of them, this will be the third. I don't have the premium version with two antennas though... HINT! HINT!
I got two controllers, they are slightly different to each other
An official HDMI lead with Microsoft branding
The power lead, notice how it doesn't have the earth pin
The power pack, I assume this is the same as the other three I have, I haven't checked
Hardware updates
I picked up another free Xbox360 Elite from Facebook Marketplace
Same as above, bit grubby so will need a clean
Nothing out of the ordinary here
The hard disc has been replaced with a 20Mb version though
Familiar vents on the bottom
Two video cables, RGB SCART and composite, no HD here
Grubby controller with third party rechargable battery
A Competition Pro battery and charging lead
Normal power supply
A Competition Pro console and game stand, which hold the unit and three games, never seen this before
It works, the previous owner said the disc tray sticks sometimes, but it worked for me, and they left their game saves and account details on the hard disc, so I formatted it
Software
I have actually got some games now, I think the original owner likes FPS games
Fable II
Fallout New Vegas
Dragon Age II
Red Dead Redemption
The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
Grand Theft Auto IV
Fable III
Saints Row 2
Dragon Age
Portal 2
Disney's Lego Pirates of the Caribbean
Lego Indiana Jones The Original Adventures and Dreamworks Kung Fu Panda
Mass Effect 2

Gears of War 2
And for some reason the instruction booklet for Deux Ex Human Revolution
