Microsoft almost got me to buy a new 360.

Jasper is "out now". It most likely shipped with some of the 60GB HDDs.

So right now, you could most likely pick up a X360 with a MFG date later than June, and get a nice Jasper-powered 360.

As for the Valhalla, it's coming out earlier than Fall 09. It should be in production in May or June, with it shipping (most likely) in August or September, under a new name, price, and look.

And FYI, Valhalla will be 45nm, not 65nm. Either way, Jasper is going to be great unless you absolutely need a X360 slim.

 

Thanks for the info!
