I took advantage of that deal Dell had where you could get a 360 Elite for $255 with the HDMI cable. I was too quick to pull the trigger.I thought that all of the Elites being sold now, in the Fall,came with the Jasper chipset, but after a little research I realized that isn't true. And especially since this one still comes with the cable I'm thinking it might be the older Falcon model.

So, how can I be sure I'll get an Elite with the Jasper chipset? I was just informed by Dell that the shipping date has been pushed back 8 days so I'm thinking of cancelling, waiting a little longer, and trying to get another deal later. I'm just hesitant cause of the $50 savings. What do ya think?

When you buy a 360.Look at the serial code and a little to the left it should say 12.1A and that is a Jasper

As the above poster said, it doesnt matter. It has a 3 year warantee for the rrod and E74 so even if it does break it will get repaired and input with a new chip. Take care of your xbox and it will be fine, dont worry over all the talk over the chips.

Wow man, calm down. I've obviously never bought one before adn its hard to tell what the facts are from the RROD numbers. I had a friend that had a fan pointed at his Xbox to increase airflow and it died. Besides why wouldn't I want the best one available?
