How do I tell the OLD FAULTY 360s from the newer FALCON models before buying?

A) The Falcon's aren't out yet, they're only rumored to come out sometime during fall. And

B) When they do come out, youwon't be able totell the difference; Microsoft won't be labeling them differently.

I think the best way to tell is to get a BLACK one, that way you never have to send it BACKGamefreak1296

a black one? an elite?

Only if you leave it under a ridiculously strong light. Black absorbs light, not heat.

Anyway. The falcons aren't out yet. Apparently, 360's manufactured after July 2007 are supposed to have an extra heatsink though, so they'll be more reliable if you have to get one now. If not, the Falcon models are rumoured to be showing up in September/October.
