Yes, it is interesting. New model, though I see no major cosmetic changes on the 360 itself from what I can see.]]>Nov 27th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/
The big question, is will these 360s finally work? I somehow doubt it.. It's clear Microsoft havn't got a clue to make hardware, and Sony have a very good clue..]]>Nov 27th 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Actually, all Elites have HDMI and the early ones had horrendously high RROD rates. Even higher than the rest of the Xboxes if that's even possible.

If you get a Falcon (175W), you should do okay though, at least in terms of the RROD. You're more likely to have optical drive problems.]]>Nov 27th 2008 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/

And even if your 360 does RROD (slim chance if you pick one up today) you're covered for 3 years with a solid warranty. Mine RROD'd last march and I had it back in less than a week.

And any fanboy is delusional. MS fanboys are delusional, nintendo, Sony, mac, Nikon, Canon... pepsi fanboys. All delusional. If you can't even see any negatives in your product of choice, or any positives in a competing product... that's delusion... or ignorance. ]]>Nov 27th 2008 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 28th 2008 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/

The intercooler goes between the xbox and power cable, so they'll suffer "financial difficulties"
Also, intercoolers suck bawls anyway, so no loss.

I think you could make it like pokemon cards... put a little "Jasper" engraved below the logo on the side of the console. I can imagine a LOT of people wanting that on the side of the xbox.

Hopefully they've moved the GPU, no?]]>Nov 27th 2008 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/Nov 27th 2008 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/

I'm on my 6th 360 and 4th PS3, and hardly use the bloomin PS3 as can't stand the controller (anyone know a ps3 controller that's not designed for 11 year old Japanese kids?)

Don't even get me started on the wii... all i have to say is that i am surprised more wiis haven't broken due to all that dust gathering up...]]>Nov 27th 2008 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/apparent-xbox-360-jasper-spotted-in-the-wild/
Man, that was the most intelligent comment I have seen today.

The thing might be like shit, it is a shame that someone should give us "crappy" HW (yes, I have two, and one of them has been sent back for repairs twice, free of course), but people keep playing on it, and I probably will be playing on it forever even if I have to go buy one every year. I've my mind up so I consider this device a service that hits my wallet for less than 200 every year (+60 for subscription), and it looks fair to me (mostly preferable to keeping the pace with every iteration of Mr. Jobs' products)
I have tried the three of them, and for what I really rank a gaming experience, it's games and the ability to do REAL TIME worldwide online gaming, I rate it really high in comparision with the Wii (irrelevant) and the somehow lame PS3 (it makes me cry when I play GT5 P. and I see the other cars disappearing and appearing anywhere in front o me, even of people I know that live in my very same city)

So the thing is, it is good to hear that the HW might be improving, at least for the ones that care or will care, but guys, we are getting old for these shit of fanboys revisiting their love of hate for brands (why care???), that as som smart people point out here, is so sad that makes our love for the human being a waste of time
