Pro is a wise choice. You should get the latest motherboard called falcon...and it has HDMI port for HD (if you need it later on) and it should not give you RROD.

Also, you should have plenty of room with the 20 gig hard drive...and that you can always upgrade later.

The pro model comes with HD cables as well as regular RCA cables so you can use them on both types of TVs.

299 for that bundle is amazing value...I suggest you act fast. I would buy an Elite right away if it was bundled with those games...but sadly its only the pro console on sale at futureshop...

 

How do i go about checking/asking if the motherboard is Falcon?

The bundle is at FutureShop Canada and is for the Pro + two free games of choice.

The only way to be sure you got the falcon is to see the actual motherboard. But you dont want to do that :)

I've not seen a motherboard that had HDMI and wasn't the falcon motherboard so as long as you have HDMI port you are set. Also as long as you manufactured date is after october 2007 you should be good.

You can buy it and once you open it if it turns out you got a model from early 2007 that was in the back of Future shop for a year...jsut return it and replace it with another. 2 riends of mine bought xboxes last month and both got the falcon motherboard... I can tell as it runs much cooler than my unit.
