Xbox 360: 250 GB vs. 4 GB + Kinect — Which to Buy?

You're comparing storage (250 GB HDD) vs. internal flash + peripheral (4 GB model + Kinect). Note: "4 GB RAM" is incorrect — Xbox 360 has 512 MB RAM; "4 GB" refers to the 4 GB internal flash model.

Models Clarified

• 250 GB HDD model: Large storage for games, DLC, installs, media.
• 4 GB Flash model + Kinect: Tiny storage (fills fast), includes Kinect sensor.

Recommendation

• Get the 250 GB (or 320/500 GB) – storage is critical. Kinect is optional/cheap used ($15).
• 4 GB model requires external USB drive (up to 2 TB) for installs — adds cost/hassle.
• Kinect games are scarce; most prefer controller.

Better Yet

Buy an Xbox One S (500 GB/1 TB) or Series S (512 GB) — backward compatible, faster, supported, cheap used.
