Went to a local carboot sale (garage sale I think you call them in the States) a few weeks back and I was actually looking for a ps2 but some youngster got there before me at the one I was looking at.

Anyway as I walked along to the next stall there was a black 360 with wireless controller and the leads. I asked how much and the bloke said £15 so I paid up and went home. Was thinking of trading it in at CEX on the way home but needed to check if it actually worked.

Got it home and cleaned it up a bit and tested it out and it works fine and it’s also got the Tonasket motherboard after I checked the manufacturing date on the back so I’m well happy with that and keeping it. I’ll get rid of my old white 360 that I bought from CEX a few months back. Bargain of the year for me.
 
Fui a uma feira de garagem local (acho que vocês chamam assim nos Estados Unidos) algumas semanas atrás e estava procurando um PS2, mas um garoto chegou antes de mim e pegou o que eu queria.

Enfim, enquanto caminhava até a próxima barraca, havia um Xbox 360 preto com controle sem fio e os cabos. Perguntei o preço e o cara disse £15, então paguei e fui para casa. Estava pensando em trocá-lo na CEX no caminho de volta, mas precisava verificar se realmente funcionava.

Levei para casa, limpei um pouco, testei e funciona perfeitamente. Além disso, tem a placa-mãe Tonasket, depois que verifiquei a data de fabricação na parte de trás, então estou muito satisfeito e vou ficar com ele. Vou me desfazer do meu Xbox 360 branco antigo que comprei na CEX alguns meses atrás. Foi a melhor compra do ano para mim.
PCongratulations, you deserve all the best!

So you got one of the best ones. NICE! Try bad updating that sucker!
 
A question of me: the Xbox Live of 360 is still working or it's ended in order to gave atention of One's and Series's?
Yes Xbox live is still up and running but as for online gaming I don’t know as I’ve not tried any games yet.
 
now you have a lot of different roads you can try :)
great

how lucky for you I paid for mine a hundred bucks used and set back and it was turned back to factory setting no games no neat things on it and I had to update it just so that I can play simple Xbox games on it.

the login and stuff still works but AFAIK the 360 store is already closed down and you'll find many of the online services severly limited. Some of the biggest games are still playable online, but anything too small or obscure is either dead due to servers or got like 2 players in-game.
