I like pictures like this.

OP: good article, even though I'm not in the market for a 360 (and won't ever be) I like being informed about as much as possible. Now I can flip over my friends 360's and tell em what kinda cooling they got . +rep

Yeah, Falcon's are not very high with fail rates. A lot are failing still, but Falcon and Jasper are the revisions you really want.

I wish this could get stickied. Seems like there are so many 360 owners here not sure of the console they want or the console they need.

Bump

Checked out my local Best Buy the other day. They had a big stack of them all stacked together. All Pro consoles. I checked seven of them.

All of them were 16.5A. What the hell?

I don't know if that's them trying to clear inventory, or what, but that is amazing that there were seven in the batch that I had checked that were all Zephyr's.

thats odd, they stoped making the 16.5amp ones before they started making 60gb pro bundles? Are they selling refurb 360s or something?

I haven't heard of them not being made anymore. A few guys I know picked up a 360 during the Holidays and were 16.5A and 14.2. More Falcons are out, but Zephyr's are still sold when trying to clear stock usually.

what are the manufacture date on the 16.5 because why would microsoft still make them since that means they need to make 3 different power supplies still and the falcon and jasper revisions are cheaper to make
