The 360 E is the stripped-down final revision: video leaves over HDMI or a 3.5mm composite A/V jack, and that's it. Component cables and the older AV Multi-Out plugs won't fit, and there's no optical port, so digital audio has to travel over HDMI. Four USB 2.0 ports (two front, two rear), a Kinect port, 10/100 Ethernet and a single-barrel power brick that won't take older 360 supplies complete the set. Here's every port and the cables you'll need.
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.
