probably not, since they are in a box. you might be able to look at the manufacture's date it was made on the box but its not going to tell you whats in the actually xbox itself.

i do think it will be this holiday season since all the system selling games are coming out i dont think microsoft wants to put out any more bad xbox's. so they will add the 65nm chip and the better heat sink and make a very reliable xbox 360. for the elite's, premiums and cores.

See like I said I'm still thinking October will be the date those will come out.

Where on the box do you look to see the manufacture date?

I'm wondering how easy it will be to tell which systems have the 65nm chipset, and also the quieter disc drive. Will it be possible to tell for certain if an Xbox 360 has both of those improved elements before purchase?

See I'm getting mine in October and it's a gamble for me as well, since your not going to be able to tell. And don't expect the store guys to tell you either. So it's possible that both the new chipped systems and the chipless elites will be out there. I doubt bestbuy will take the chipless ones off the shelve. It would be nice if they did but they won't help us like that.

I don't have the 360 Elite yet but I'm thinking whether I should get the 1600 MP points, or get the 4000 MP points. The 1600 one costs 20 bucks, and the 4000 costs 60 bucks I believe.

First of all guys I'm not interested in downloading movies or tv shows, all I want is the game updates. So pretty much I want your opinion of first which one should I get?

And if you could tell me whats out there in the Marketplace to buy?
