When you find the code, you might also want to understand it. Here is how to do that:

1
On the bottom of the Xbox 360, you will be able to see the Xbox 360 manufacturing date and the Xbox 360 serial number. The manufacturing date is in the following format:
- 2008-11-03
- YYYY-MM-DD (Year-Month-Day,) which is the date according to ISO 8601.
2
Unravel the code. The serial number looks like this: 6144526 84302. The serial number is formatted (LNNNNNN YWWFF).
- L the number of the production line within the factory,
- NNNNNN the number of the Xbox within this week.
- Y the last digit of the production year,
- WW the number of the week of the production year
- FF is the code of the factory (02: Mexico, 03: Hungary, 05: China, 06: Taiwan).
3
Put it altogether. Taking the serial number 6144526 14302 this would give you:
- Line 6 of the factory
- This would be 144526 off the production line
- 2008 production year
- Week 43 of the year
- Factory location Mexico.

Warnings

Do not drop your console. You may break it or break a seal under the Faceplate (which is bad). Do not hold it while playing; this can damage the disc. And be very careful while you're checking the back.
