Getting offtopic here but...
As a slight reminder, some versions of the 360E are not moddable.
although the earlier mentioned softmod does work on it, but it's not really practical to use as a "normal" solution

Recently, the BadUpdate exploit was improved so that the exploit process is much more reliable and doesn't take as long. (around a minute at most) That makes it kind of practical for normal use, if not ideal, and if you want something better, the original author of BadUpdate announced that he is working on a full softmod, although it will probably take quite a while before he finishes and releases it.

I live in a fairly poky flat, and still manage to run most of the older consoles plus some old style TVs (which really do consume room space!!)

Well, space is only half the problem @_@"...

As said, need to be mobile. In last 10 years, hubby and I have moved 9 times... it is very tiring.

In that time, we sold much, threw away even more, from fatigue.

My personal view is gaming on a laptop is just cold and sterile, unless you're actually playing say a fighting game competitively over the internet. But each to their own.

Haha, well, as you said: "each to their own." For me, I find a certain comfort being close to screen, keyboard, and everything.

My laptop is 17" and it works for me perfect for the way I play.

We also have quite a powerful speaker next to my laptop, so I use it for gaming too to really feel everything that is happening.

Also, my laptop keyboard is very, very good (Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile).

It is one of the best I have ever used for STG, because super low travel with very mechanical click & feel. Definitely not sterile.

For Faith

Thank you very much for all the information you have given!!~

For now, I will stick to my laptop. I like my gaming desk and setup, and definitely no space for any more hardware anytime in current life situation and the future too. But at least I know, if somehow, things change, I know where to look haha. But, these days, I really try to just own less physical things. I like my clutter-free life. And that is why I have big focus on just using my laptop for everything. Have one good laptop, and make it carry my world. If we had space and money for bigger setup, maybe we buy the Exa Arcadia :p if we ever win lottery haha!~

I was watching an episode of Oprah back in the day and she said, "You use 20% of what you actually own 80% of the time" -- so the remaining 80% of what you own isn't being used whatsoever as it's just "stuff." Strange but entirely true!

So yes, I understand the concept of living with less & doing away with most physical stuff (as that type of concept/idea works well if you move into/live in a "tiny house" setup where space is at a "super premium" and it all doesn't go to waste as you really have to "downsize" and only use what you really need and not what you want, wishfully). Of course, some "tiny houses" can easily set you back a whopping $200k or even $300k easily. At the end of the day, it's just a matter of how one wants best maximize their "living space" to the fullest extent, expense-wise.

I see that the MegaMillions jackpot that was drawn Saturday night on 8/30/2025 wasn't won (although 4 people from California matched 5 out 6 numbers to win a whopping $1.1+ million prize each-- not a bad payday with a mere $2.00 spent on it if you stop to think about it with two winners from the Bay Area and the other two remaining winners hailing from Southern California). Tonight's drawing for the MegaMillions jackpot should easily be in the $1.1 or $1.2 Billion dollar range quite easily. You & your hubby win the MM jackpot, you both could quit your jobs, buy a bigger house fully furnished and still get an Exa-Arcadia cab with every single game made for it (and still have plenty of "leftover change" to retire early -- how about that, hmmm?
