Hey my XBOX 360 keeps giving the the old "To Play this game put it in an xbox 360 console" message all the time! It takes alot of tries just to get a game to read. By the way i am on my 2nd console Microsoft sent me a refurbished system after the launch one crapped out. So I am thinking about just forking over the money and buying a brand new 360. I was thinking about getting the Halo 360 or maybe an elite. My question: does the Halo xbox 360 have the nice 65nn chip and also do all the elite 360's have it? Also has anyone had any problems with them? I think the halo 360 looks pretty nice but i want to make sure it has the new chip in it first. any help would be great!

If your console is working id just say keep it, and dont worry about it..I have had mine for about 17 months and no problems (knocks on wood), but i think its about to crap out...

But if you are interesed in getting a new one, id think you should wait a bit since the Jasper 360 console will be coming in august, which will support both a 65nm CPU and GPU, which will cool the system MUCH more, and lessen the RRoD to occur...

But hey, do what you want..

What I am sure of is that pro consoles have the 65nm chips if made after July of '06 and I would think that the other consoles would have them by now unless you are going to get a refurb. If you talk to the salesman or whatever they might know but check the serial # under the flap of the box and you might be able to gat a date made. The store will most likely be able to get all the info on that particular unit if they check their systems. You might even be able to check the stats of the system yourself somewhere on the web. Anwhos I hope that helps at least a Little bit:D
