Wait for Jasper?

I am buying my first console and I chose to get the Xbox 360. I am looking into getting the 60bg pro. The one thing I am worried about is getting a system that has the falcon chipset instead of a system with the Jasper chipset. I am not planning on buying another system anytime soon so I want to be sure that I am getting the best system I can afford. So my question is are there 60gb Jaspers floating around or are they going to be falcons? Also, is the difference in the two even worth waiting for? thanks

to tell you right now there is no jasper in xboxs untill one comes out or microsoft and maby sites like ign gamespot have word on it k2theswiss

Actually there is a couple known jaspers out and pictures of the inside. 

You can tell the difference by the manufacturing date, lot number, volts, and watts on the power brick. 

Jasper

Date = 10-23-08 and up

Lot # = 843x

Volts = 12.1 ( I believe)

Power brick = 150 watts

If your xbox dies you can send it into microsoft for free, they now have a 3 year warranty for RROD and 1 year for everything else, sp you won't have to pay for a new console, in fact you won't have to pay for anything really except it takes about 3 weeks to a month to send it in, have it repaired and sent back to you. But try not to worry about RROD unless it happens, just have fun with your new xbox.

BTW does anyone know why they don't put the jasper chip in all new 360 consoles if it's so great? I've heard it makes your 360 run slower, but it significantly lowers your chances of getting RROD. But if the Jasper made the 360 that much slower why would people want it so much???

The probably are putting it in all consoles being produced at this point. However the manufacturing date on my aformentioned console, which was purchased online just a few days ago, would suggest that they're still clearing out their old stock.

Ok that makes sense,

Most of the Jaspers are arcades, I work at Best Buy and I know we got them. I actually am getting one because my refurbished broke (GPU went out).Mbrans25den
