My original white 360 with jet engine cooling fans sadly succumbed to old age last night. A good 7 years of service, but it had started to fall apart anyway with only one of the USB ports still functioning and the disc tray not working unless the weight of a disc was left in at all times.

As the One does not do backwards compatibility and I still have loads of 360 games I'd rather play than splash out on a PS4/XBONE, I am getting a new xbox 360.

Just looking for opinion on the latest model.

I'm sure i'll notice a big step up, as my old one had the aforementioned jet engine cooling and lacked things like wifi.

I wouldnt pay that much for a 360 or Ps3 now, your probably only going to use it for another year get a used from ebay, or go to a store like CEX and pick up a used or refurb unit.

I seen one in CEX Liverpool City Centre for £99.99, that was the newer model as well.

I'm sure CEX closest to you will have similar deals
