I just got back from Best Buy, I've been going as often as possible to try and find a Jasper model 360. Anyhow, last time I was there, which wasn't even a week ago they had 5 Pro models in stock and 3 of the Elite Game of the Year bundles. I went back today and all they have left is 4 Arcade models. Normally, I would think they just sold in that amount of time, however, since I've started looking I've not seen one sell, the only thing I've seen happen is 3 Pros came in the other day, but other than that I've not seen any purchased in close to a month.

When I got home I looked online to see if any other stores in my area had them in stock, the one nearest to me says they have no Pros or Elites (thought they may have had some in the back) and of the 6 stores they list for each model they are showing 3 with Pro, 1 with a regular Elite and 0 with the Elite Bundle. Again, all of the stores have had stock since I've been watching.

So, I was just curious if anyone has heard any new rumors regarding the Xbox. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this might be the first step to getting the bundle rumors that have been circulating recently since everyone still has the arcade model in stock. I'm hoping the bundles will have the jasper so I can finally get my 360 :D

The only rumor that I've heard was that the 120Gb Elite is going to replace the Pro 60Gb in price. So the Elite will be $299 and the Pro will be obsolete.

It was on Gamespot two weeks back. The article concerning this issue, I mean.

Yep, that is exactly what I've heard as well. Since only the Elites and Pros were gone I was thinking it was making the rumor sound a little more accurate... I'm really hoping this happens soon as I'm starting to get impatient waiting to get it!

I've been waiting "patiently" (not really :) ) I really only want to get it if I can get a jasper and I'm just having no luck finding one. I have my fingers crossed that when they do come out with bundles that they will be jaspers and not something to get rid of the old ones. I don't even care what games are bundled with it because they probably won't be games I like anyway, but I'm just hoping it will have the jasper chip.

Uh. It's hard to NOT find a Jasper console now. What are you guys talking about? I don't understand what the OP was trying to say.

He wants a 360 bundle that is worth his munny. Basically I told him that the Elite will replace the Pro, which is true. So yeah got it memorized.

I've been looking at getting an Xbox for about a month now and I've gone to a lot of stores, several times and I've not been able to find a Jasper Pro model at any of the stores I've been to. It may be easy to find elsewhere, but I've not had any luck so far. As far as what I was saying in the post, I was just curious if anyone has heard any new rumors regarding bundles or anything else along those lines. When I went to my local Best Buy they were completely out of Pro and Elite models and I checked the stock online for other Best Buys and most of those were sold out of the Pro and Elite models. It just seems a little odd because since I've been shopping around my nearest Best Buy hasn't sold either model and in a weeks time the 8 that were on the shelf were gone. Since the Pro and Elite model are the ones involved in the rumor I was just curious if anyone has heard anything new on it and/or if it is going to happen soon. The only Xbox's currently in stock were Arcades.

The way I see it, if I'm going to invest my money into something with such a high failure rate, I at least want the most current fix out there. If Microsoft replaced the previous chip, then that means it obviously didn't do as they had expected, so I really see no point in purchasing old hardware. I'm going to keep my Xbox in an area with plenty of ventilation and do all the things you are supposed to do, but I still would feel more comfortable getting the jasper. I know it isn't a guarantee that it will not have issues, but I at least want to have the best odds possible.

Jasper... Hah... No wait Falcon something or other. Its all a placebo. Buy a system and don't worry or buy something meaningful and useful... like a gun. It doesn't matter how much you pay or what model you get it's about the experiences and emotions you'll get from gaming, other then that it doesn't matter and your listening to hype. If you want a Jasper cause you think its bulletproof compared to predecessors or afraid of RROD don't buy an Xbox... period. I thought get an Elite I'll be fine and BOOM, on my third Elite and to be honest if I knew then what I know now... I'd still do it again.

I know I'm going to like the Xbox and while RROD does make me nervous, I still REALLY want the system. Unfortunately there is too much on the system I want to make me not want to get it, despite the problems. I think that, considering how many units have sold and how popular the system is, it shows a lot to how great the system are games are considering the amount of problems it has also had. I just feel a little like if I don't buy a Jasper unit, it is like knowingly buying something that isn't the best available. I know the Jasper isn't bulletproof and enough time hasn't past to really be able to tell what is going to happen with the systems that have the chip, but I just feel like a Jasper unit has my best odds. I really want to be able to enjoy the system, I don't want to spending half the time calling Microsoft because it is having issues and that is what has me most worried about the older models. If I were to buy a new car and was reading reviews that the 2008 model had some type of issue and the company did something to the new model in 2009 that should fix it, I would buy the 2009 model. I know a car a gaming system are two completely different things and a completely different situation, but buying a model that is most likely fixed over a model that is still having issues seems the better way to go. At this point I will probably get a system when I see it next. If Best Buy happens to get some more in before the rumored bundle I will probably pick one up, if not I will probably just wait and see what the bundle offers. I'm really excited to get the system (it will be my first experience with a Microsoft system) and see what it all has to offer
