Actually the sales ratio of the Arcade mean that they have been the first Jaspers seen on the shelves if you buy a premium or elite makes sure you tripple check for the 12v on the package.

Not all the xbox's in stores have Jasper. Not even recently manufactured ones.

Here's how to find one: http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/inside-an-xbox-360-jasper-ben-heck-dissects-the-mythical-consol/

Arcade, and it DOES MATTER. Don't buy a non-Jasper 360. Simply don't. It's a wasted investment not to seek out Jasper exclusively. 12.1A on the 12v rail nets you a Jasper.

If it says 12V - 14.2A:5V you are looking at a 'FALCON'

if it says 12V - 12.1A:5V you've got yourself a 'JASPER'

I think you got Zephyr.

Edit: correction.

ive got 1 falcon , 2 zephrs, 1 is a new one arcade unit, no jaspers here, but i noticed a difference in the power cord of the new 08-09 360s, they have extra vents, which help more,

so falcon and jaspers are the best ones, the zephr are bad, well the old ones are, im not sure of the arcade ones, i haven had a single problem with arcade units,
