Hello, I have a PS3 and a Wii and I was wondering which model would be the best one to get, which has the least chance to get the RROD problem (or any kind of probem for that matter). I wanted a 360 only for the Gears of War trilogy.
I guess you have never heard of the Jasper model Xboxes?
12.1 amps equals a Jasper unit (65nm CPU, 65nm GPU). This voltage rating is also listed above the power input, but of course you can't see that when it's in the box.
There has been a lot of discussion about lot #'s, power supply ratings, and things of that nature being used to find Jaspers. I have found those to be unreliable. For instance, this Jasper was lot #0842X. However at Circuit City today I saw a 0843X Arcade unit, but it was 14.2 amps.
Also this particular Jasper came with a 175W power supply (like the Falcons used). They are probably trying to use up all the older PSU's and thus it was packed with the unit. Keep in mind that even if this Xbox only needs 150W it's not a issue to power it with a 175W supply, just like people who put 700W PSU's in their PC's for no apparent reason.
If all you're going to do is play gears of war then get arcade. If you want to dl stuff from the xbox live marketplace and get more games (and possibly install them to a hard drive), get the pro model.
