The Xbox 360 uses composite or component video via a proprietary AV connector on the back, supporting up to 1080i resolution on component displays. Two USB ports on front are shared between controller charging and low-speed data (12Mbps); the rear USB ports run at full USB 2.0 (480Mbps) for storage. An original composite cable produces noticeably softer video than component; modern HDMI adapters are recommended for contemporary TV displays. Here's the complete port breakdown.
Final Xbox 360 revision with Xbox One-inspired design. Reduced port selection with no optical audio or component video support. Budget-friendly option during Xbox One launch.
