Product Information

It included a wireless controller, a composite A/V cable, an HDMI output, a 256 MB memory unit and five Xbox Live Arcade titles: [16] Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man Championship Edition, and Uno on a single disc, which also included a "Welcome Video" and several game trailers and demos. Although available at launch in other regions, it was not available in Japan until November 2, 2006.

The Kinect accessory is compatible with all Xbox 360 models, [105] connecting to new models via a custom connector, and to older ones via a USB and mains power adapter.

A second SKU which included 4 GB of internal flash storage and had a matte black casing (much like the Xbox 360 Elite) [41] was released on August 3, 2010 in the US [41] and August 20, 2010 in Europe. Arguably it’s a greater boon than the console’s size-reduction – housing that oversized unit inside an AV cabinet wasn’t the easiest task. Alien Hominid for the Xbox 360 was released on February 28 of that year, and Ikaruga was released over a year later on April 9, 2008. On April 20, 2016, Microsoft announced that it would end the production of new Xbox 360 hardware, although the company will continue to support the platform. A "General Hardware Failure" is recognized on all models released before the Xbox 360 S by three quadrants of the ring around the power button flashing red.

It is a revision of the S model with a new Xbox One-inspired casing, carrying a more rectangular appearance and a two-tone color scheme. The console can also display pictures and perform slideshows of photo collections with various transition effects, and supports audio playback, with music player controls accessible through the Xbox 360 Guide button. Like its predecessor the "Core", it has a white disc tray, and may utilize a separately sold Xbox 360 hard disk drive, which is required for Xbox software backwards compatibility. In August 2011, Microsoft announced they would be streamlining their models by discontinuing the glossy finish and that future 250 GB consoles would use the matte finish found on 4 GB models. The internal hardware was redesigned using a new motherboard codenamed "Valhalla", which integrates the CPU, GPU, and eDRAM into a single package using a 45 nm fabrication process.a b c d e f g "Xbox Live's Major Nelson » Announcing the the [ sic] Xbox 360 Special Edition 4GB Kinect Family Bundle". d The audio dongle features two RCA connectors for left and right audio and a TOSLINK optical audio connector.
