regardless, you gotta admit there is some irony in seeing their own products fail at their booth.

kinda like this.....

Good info for people looking to buy a 360. I personally got my 360 the Christmas they came out but then got an RRoD a little less than a year later. I had to check the back of my console to see which revision I had. I was kind of bummed out when I saw the 16.5 LoL but hey it's still going strong. I'll need to open it up later to see what kind of cooling is in it. Anything I should know before opening this puppy up?


+rep on article

Edit: Forgot to include that I shipped it in for repair. ooops

Um...don't. Voiding the warranty on a RRoD happy console is generally thought to be a bad idea. But I guess that is just me talking since I don't have the money to replace one.

Other than that, just be careful and don't break those clips off on the ends

Thx for the advice. I shipped in my first xbox to get it repaired and was just wondering if the new cooling was implemented on it. I did see a change in the amount of heat being exhausted or it might just be me.

I didn't mean to sound rude, but two weeks ago doesn't mean that that is a Jasper console. Hardly any Jasper Pro models are out in the open. I haven't even seen one so I don't even know if they're out yet. Your first statement was "They still fail", but that isn't proof because that isn't a Jasper model so you don't know if they still fail.

Usually they either send you back an Opus, which should help, but I have not seen any returns being Jaspers, but a lot being Falcons.

So, usually it'll be an Opus, or they will give you a Falcon.

My Lite-On drive with the Arcade consoles is by far the quiestest drive I have had with a 360 console. The BenQ is also a very quiet drive. You most likely have a Hitachi or the other originals which were extremely loud and annoying, haha.

Yeah I probably do.

Thankfully now I just load my current most played game on the HD and that takes care of that. Hooray NXE

FYI Pro Jaspers DO NOT have onboard memory. I have one and amd kind of dissappointed

That's true, because the Pro consoles come with an HDD. The onboard memory was a solution for the Arcade console only because of the NXE needing more available memory.

I didn't expect any other consoles but Arcades to have onboard memory, since it was mainly only for the NXE and every other 360 console has an HDD when purchased.
