Is Xbox 360 Slim worth buying in 2020?

If you're not planning to play online, it's not such a big deal, but it also means that you won't be able to download game updates either (you can update and patch games from a USB drive, but it's certainly not as convenient). In other words, I'd recommend buying your Xbox 360 from a store.

Does Xbox 360 Slim have better graphics?

There are no graphics differences between both versions of these Xbox 360s. They both use the same GPU and output the same. As pointed out in the comments, unless you have a 360 without an HDMI (it would have to be a very early 3-2007) you won't see a difference.

What's better Xbox 360 S or E?
