I got a ****ing Zephyr. How do you get a Zephyr model on an Elite in a 2008 holiday bundle? That's bull, Microsoft.

Look on the bottom of your 360; it has the 12V rating; 16.5A is Zephyr, 15.4A (I think) is Falcon, and Jasper is 12.1A. The lower the number, (basically) the lower risk of RRoD.

I don't know what i got. I did get my kids a 360 for xmas and it's a Jasper. It was weird to see a 360 with no harddrive and no memory card but 256mb of storage space.

That is so scandelous, microsoft sucks such gigantic bawlz... I just bought a xbox a few days ago and got a falcon dated september 25th 2008, my friend just went to gamestop today and bought one and his was dated in october 2008 and he got a zepher! Same 60gb xbox 360 holiday bundle, that shows MS was still (probably is still) making zephers after they introduced the falcons... chea, the only reason I bought a xbox is for the exclusives and the hd-dvd player for $40 with heroes and battlestar gallactica season's 1 and king kong. If I have the option I will buy any game on the ps3 which is a 10 times better system, why idiots would buy the 360 as their main system is beyond me, it's insanely cheaply made, has no blu-ray, no friken wifi! I am actually going to have to go buy a wifi adapter for my 360 now which makes the POS the same price as a ps3! Why people think the xbox is a better value when they charge you $100 for that adapter is beyond me. Weaker system, weaker games, weaker support, xbox 360 = weak. Only good thing about it is the exclusives, but sony is coming through big time with the great games now. killzone 2 > halo 3!

i have a falcon chip. TC check when ur 360 was made because the store might have not sold a lot of 360 so they just kept them and sold what was the oldest one.

I have a Falcon model. I was really close to getting a Jasper though, because the manufacture date of my 360 was September of '08, and Jaspers started to enter the market in October of '08.

I'm not too sure if that first post is correct.

According to http://beta.ivancover.com/wiki/index.php/Xbox_360_Revisions#Falcon

I have a Falcon console.

My model number is 16.5 A and my console is dated: 2007-10-18, which is a month after the new Falcon motherboards and chips were embled into the new Xbox 360 consoles.

So according to my information, I have a Falcon with the 16.5 A label.

I have had a Zephyr for a few years. It only messed up once, and that was only because my idiot friend threw a towel on my Xbox and forgot to turn it off that night.

Loading the Holiday bundles with old junk Zephyrs and Xenons was one of the worst moves Microsoft made. All those old boards and chips should have been destroyed.
