Jasper 360 via PRO model 360s

I've been reading that people have confirmed the jasper 360 in ARCADE models and listed what to look for. My question is, do these apply just the same for PRO units as well? Seeing as the Pro and the Arcade are the SAME exact system only bundled differently. IE, the Sytem itself is exactly the same but it PRO comes with the hard drive, headset, HD Cables, etc.

I am asking because in my trip to best buy today I found a 0845X Lot PRO with 12,1A;5V-1A Rail info and a 2008-11-09 MFR Date. I'm going to assume this is a Jasper, because the Arcades with those indications would be a Jasper and like stated the system itself is no different in Arcade and PRO models. Is my reasoning correct here? Jasper?

Yep sounds like a jasper. I bought my pro like right on the line i think... mine says 0841X and MFR date is 2008-10-04 I believe...

How can you confirm how much the new ones break when they just started releasing them recently? Even if you bought one of the Jaspers and it broke right away then that is just a bad one because anything that breaks a couple days after you buy it there is something wrong with it as it should at least last a year.

As for the starter kit, thats what I was looking for and they were sold out, thats why I went with the Pro with the 12,1A;5V rating I found and picked up a 12+1Mo. Gold Card to go with it. As I said, assuming Arcade and Pro systems use the SAME exact Xbox360 core systems (which i've read many places that they do) then this is a new revision console. I wish I actually could find a starter kit, but the best buy is so far from my house I didn't want to have to keep checking back, and their site has them back ordered as well.

Other things of note which may not be an issue if they come out with a new bundle, the 360 pro bundles are horrible. Lego indiana jones? Who the hell wants this crap? Kung-Fu Panda? The movie was pretty good but the game is a no interest for me. If they come out with a better holiday bundle i'm going to exchange the system for a better bundle.

I Hate to "Break" it to you folks... But the newer ones break too... Iam on my 7th Unit since launch.. Rediculous but I love 360!!!NND1

oh cool, How do you see if you have one or not?

You take a magic 8 ball with you to the best buy, put one hand on the 360 box, and shake the 8 ball with your other hand while asking, is this a jasper?

If signs point to yes, then you got yourself a jasper.

From what i've read the way to confirm jasper is if the rail info reads 12,1A;5V-1A, For Arcade, Like I said, pro is the same system so this rule should apply exactly the same for Pro budlesssjtrunks04

12.1 Amps on the 12 volt rail = AUTOMATIC JASPER. It uses a smaller power supply and less amperage.

100W vs 175W compared to the original :D Smaller dies are fantastic.
