-Nic- Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/inside-...ythical-consol/ Basically, all you need to do is look at the slot on where you hold the box, and look at the amps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draken Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 good , I'm going to buy an arcade for online play, thanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookas Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 The jasper is only on the arcades right now, correct? I was going to buy an elite but now I think it might be better (and cheaper) to buy an arcade and a bigger hard drive. I can't think of any advantages to buying an elite now, the arcade still has HDMI and everything right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonbear Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I know this is a stupid question, but what's the rage with the jasper xbox'es ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookas Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I know this is a stupid question, but what's the rage with the jasper xbox'es ? They have the smaller 65 nanometer cpu's. This means that the run cooler and quieter, with a much smaller chance of hardware failure. Also, they have 256 MB of onboard memory, so you can store the os (or a few game saves) internally.

DigitalE Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I feel like going out to Best Buy today just for the heck of it to see if they have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookas Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I went out last night and picked up a Jasper. It is definitely quieter. I installed Far Cry 2 and the xbox is completely silent while playing it. The new dvd drives are quieter too. I checked the heat after a few hours of play and it's obvious that the Jasper runs a lot cooler. I'm pretty confident that this thing won't red ring anytime soon.

Rookas Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 What do you do with your other xbox? Well I bought an LCD a few months back and since then my 32" CRT has just been sitting in the other room. I hate to waste a perfectly good HDTV so I hooked the other box up to that. Now I can accomodate local co-op without split screen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decyfer Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I bought an Xbox 360 Arcade a couple of weeks ago and it doesn't appear to be a Jasper-based console. What do I do about this? Is this legit? Can I return it for a jasper-based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skulltrail-old Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I bought an Xbox 360 Arcade a couple of weeks ago and it doesn't appear to be a Jasper-based console. What do I do about this? Is this legit? Can I return it for a jasper-based? I bought one too about 3 weeks ago and just noticed it is a Falcon-based Xbox 360 Arcade. I'm not too mad about it though since the only big difference is the cooling (65nm = less heat) and the integrated storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I have both I can tell you that the difference is night and day in terms of heat and noise. Decyfer, I would try exchanging it if I were you.

Neither of which give you any less a chance of contracting an RROD at this stage in the 360's life. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
