Xbox 360 Help

[SL33K]

Hey, guyz,

i need some help.

last year i bought the XBOX 360 Elite to take back home for my bro.

unfortunately it was stolen at the South African Airport from my checked in luggage. i seperated the harddrive and controllers and games so who over stole it only took the console and the big Power thingy.

Now i am going back home and my bro has all the stuff that remained. 2 wireless controllers, hard drive headsets and all.

i am planning to buy an XBOX 360 Arcade since he only needs the console.

do u guyz know which consoles are more likely to have the RROD errors?

whats the difference between the XBOX arcade bundle version 1 and other arcade versions? was the error fixed in the new versions?

i am planning on getting one from Dicksmith. Link below

Cheers.

Love u all

Vish.

The power rating is how you work it out. The Jasper Xbox's use less as per below:

14.2 amps equals a Falcon unit (65nm CPU, 90nm GPU).You might not be able to see the whole voltage listing just through the peep-hole, but you should at least be able to see if a 14.2A or 12.1A is just to the left of the "5V".

12.1 amps equals a Jasper unit (65nm CPU, 65nm GPU). This voltage rating is also listed above the power input, but of course you can't see that when it's in the box.

12V...12.1A:5V...1A <~~~Look for this and just below it says MADE IN CHINA

MADE IN CHINA

12V...14.2A:5V...1A <~~~This is a Falcon Chipset it is 14.2A

MADE IN CHINA

There has been a lot of discussion about lot #'s, power supply ratings, and things of that nature being used to find Jaspers. I have found those to be unreliable.Some Jasper's came with a 175W power supply (like the Falcons used). They are probably trying to use up all the older PSU's and thus it was packed with the unit. Keep in mind that even if the Jasper only needs 150W it's not a issue to power it with a 175W supply, just like people who put 700W PSU's in their PC's for no apparent reason.
