If you want to back-up your save games to a USB flash drive you can, but there are a few conditions as it seems Microsoft wants to protect its sales of Xbox hard drives:

You can turn the console off if you like, too - the Xbox will enter low power mode and continue transferring the save before it completely powers down. When playing a game, you can also select the cloud as your storage instead of your hard drive - just keep in mind that the game save is not uploaded to the cloud until you've finished playing your game. You can then copy or move save games to the cloud by selecting your Hard Drive or Memory unit, selecting the appropriate game, selecting the game save, choosing Copy or Move, then selecting Cloud Saved Games. Select Cloud Saved Games, then Enable Cloud Saved Games. If you have these things, you can enable cloud storage by signing into your gamer profile, then going to Settings in the dashboard, selecting the System tile and then selecting Storage. You'll also need half a gigabyte of storage on your hard drive to act as a local cache.

Sadly, you need to be a Xbox Live Gold member to use this that is, you'll need to set up a paid subscription. The first is cloud, where your games are saved online and can be downloaded to any console you log in to. The Xbox 360 offers two alternatives for saving your games somewhere other than the console. The touch power and eject buttons from the 360 S have also been replaced with more-traditional physical buttons.You've likely amassed a whole heap of unlocked game modes, vehicles, weapons and more in your games but what happens if your hard drive dies? This means that in total the 360 E only has 4 USB ports compared to 5 on older models. This means the only way to get surround sound on the Xbox 360 E is through a HDMI connection.Īnother loss for the Xbox 360 E is one of its USB ports. This includes the dedicated optical audio-out found on earlier Xbox 360 models. Microsoft has also removed some of the versatile connection interfaces that were present on the Xbox 360 S.

A cable for a composite connection (yellow video plus red/white stereo audio) comes in the box, but you'll need to find a component one for HD. Instead, what's left is a jack for a 1/8-inch breakout AV cable. The Xbox 360 E has also been completely redesigned on the outside to match its successor, the Xbox One.Īnother major difference is the absence of multi-AV out port. The console is slightly smaller than its predecessor the Xbox 360 S. When the console was announced, Microsoft stated that it would run quieter and cooler compared to the original Xbox 360 and the slimmer redesign, the Xbox 360 S. A 4GB system that includes the Kinect would cost $299.99.ĭespite being a new model, the Xbox 360 E doesn't really have many new features compared to the Xbox 360 S. Pricing for the Xbox 360 E was revealed to be the same as the previous model, with a 4GB (no Kinect) for $199.99 and a 250GB model priced at $299.99. Microsoft stated that new games would be added every month to both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Microsoft also announced the Games with Gold program at the Xbox 360 E and Xbox One's announcement. Microsoft also announced that the Xbox 360 E would be available for purchase on the day it was announced in the United States, UK, Canada and Australia, with the console being released very soon in other territories. One being the much-anticipated Xbox One, and the other being the Xbox 360 E.ĭuring the announcement, Microsoft revealed that the new model of the Xbox 360 would be smaller, sleeker, and quieter than the older S model. At the Xbox's press conference at E3 2013, Microsoft announced two new consoles.
