Know what you are getting with your XBOX 360

« Amazon's E-Book... | Main | Plastic Tree »

A while back there was a bit of controversy swirling around in regards to the XBOX 360, and whether or not new PRO units that were shipping out were equipped with HDMI ports on the back of the units. So, with a little bit of digging, people were using the SKU numbers on the units (which is visible at the back of the box) to determine whether or not they did in fact have HDMI ports before they bought them. So, to help people get to the bottom, Joystiq has a great article on their site about how to figure out what you are getting with your XBOX 360 simply by looking at the SKU number.

"We'd love to say picking up Xbox 360 is as easy as going to the store and grabbing the first box with the console's name on it. For better and worse, this generation of consoles gives consumers many choices at the (potential) expense of causing confusion at the store.

So it's with this in mind that we present you this handy guide for discerning the difference between the various Xbox 360 versions (aka SKUs) out there. Please note that the red and green coloring is not only festive decor for the holiday season but also a subjective highlight of what each version excels in (or subsequently lacks)."
