Review: Matt is back! - Having sold my Xbox sometime ago, I was happy when it came to purchasing a new console that both the 4GB and 250GB now have a matt finish. Don't get me wrong, it's great having the glossy finish but it's a fingerprint and dust magnet! In regards to the console itself, the new slim (S) 360 runs much, much, quieter than the original consoles back in 2005. Not only are they now quieter but they also use a lot less electricity, which is always a plus! The console itself is very easy to setup and feels very robust. Included are:- A wireless controller plus (disposable) batteries, console, SD AV cable, headset, power brick and power cord. If you wish to get the HD experience, a HDMI cable will cost you extra but thankfully they no longer cost the earth. The touch sensitive buttons are great and add to the whole experience but the main attraction is upon starting up the console for the first time. First of all your greeted with a short but in-depth initial setup. This setup allows you to easily setup your console for use and introduces you to some of the great features that come with your Xbox 360. Upon compleation, you are greeted with the dashboard. My console came with the old dashboard with sideways cascading squares. This dashboard isn't the most user friendly but thankfully, Microsoft have released a new metro-inspired dashboard that not only is much easier and faster to use, it looks brilliant. I would like to recommend every owner update to the new metro-inspired dashboard. You may do this via connecting to Xbox Live on your console or following the instructions found at [...]. The new dashboard is much quicker to use, includes many new and welcomed features and categorizes facebook, Sky, LOVEFiLM etc into a new App tab - awesome! Of course, every potential purchaser should be aware in order to play games online and use some of the features, you must subscribe to Xbox Live Gold. The great thing is, if you setup a Gamertag (Xbox Live account) for the first time on your new console, you will get a month for free. There is always offers on Gold as well. At present there is an offer, offering 3-months of gold for just £6 (a 60% saving). The graphics on games are mind blowing and the shear amount of content is immense! Most, if not all games have 5.1 surround sound too. There really is something for everyone on the 360. Other consoles such as the PS3 and Wii do have their strong points too but the 360 is a great all rounder and if you have children, Kinect is something you may also wish to invest in (but that's another review entirely!) If your still unsure, I would suggest taking a look at some of the 1000s of games available and reading their reviews to help you make up your mind. If you do decide to purchase, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you to the world of gaming and hope to see you on Xbox Live! Review: Perfect ! - I'm a huge xbox 360 fan, always have been & keep one mainly to play Test Drive Unlimited as Microsoft haven't sorted any backwards compatibility yet !? First week of lockdown March 2020 my 360 E went u/s, of course ! Luckily Game UK had one brand new laying about somewhere on the Planet in its original box so I grabbed it, it was the 360 500gb E (Stingray) model (my fav) & that xbox got me through all the lockdowns & beyound, then that went u/s !? So I've bought & returned quite a few off of desertcart sellers, unfortunately up until now they haven't been any good, maybe not the sellers fault but disc drive damaged in transit on some, sounded like a bowling ball in a wood chipper on all of them ! I kept looking but couldn't commit to buying another 360 as it was a waist of time but recently Microsoft announced no more online stuff for the 360 from sometime next year or whatever it was they were banging on about & I wondered if that would make up peoples minds to sell their 360 so I began searching again & found this seller & to be totally honest I didn't expect to much But I was Wrong.......... This xbox 360 250gb s model is AWESOME, its like new !? I couldn't believe it when I unwrapped it all & the icing on the top is the disc drive, it's just normal, just like they used to be & my TDU is running perfectly. Even the controller is unmarked, no gunk on anything, no dust, no marks, nothing, just looks like new & if it had arrived in the original box I would have believed it was brand new ! If anything falls apart, shouldn't do fingers crossed, I will update this post But so far I am hugely impressed with the xbox & the seller, 10/10 top notch Thank You. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.

This is the very last splash screen when you are in the Xbox Live desktop. I am sure it is set under your account authorisation. If that doesn't work, you need to contact Microsoft Xbox Support. **Q: is it region free** A: No **Q: Do you have to go online?** A: No you can play games offline, there may be some games that are designed to only be played online but I don't think so. So long as it's an Xbox360 game and not Xbox one game it should be fine to play offline. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Matt is back! *by S***I on 6 April 2012* Having sold my Xbox sometime ago, I was happy when it came to purchasing a new console that both the 4GB and 250GB now have a matt finish.

It was a little dusty but nothing a damp cloth didn't fix. The Xbox started up fine, although there were still profiles left on, it would have been nice for the seller to do a factory reset but again that only takes 5 minutes. The Wi-Fi seemed a bit off, so that's an Ethernet cable to the back of the console. For £67 total, I cant complain. It is clearly a used console with a couple of scratch marks but that's all, it wall works as intended and I got 4 free games out of it so its not all bad! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/65130505-xbox-360-250gb-console](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/65130505-xbox-360-250gb-console) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-17*
