Dano -
Grahamhsu is right on the monies. The Jasper models (the newest available ones that have 256mb of internal memory for the arcades) will have a batch number of 845X (I believe). Anything higher is assured to be a Jasper.
Also, look out for the 150w Power Supply - the older Falcons are 175w. Falcons, however, are VERY reliable. What you DO NOT WANT would be a X360 with a 203w power supply....That'd be a pre-Falcon. Of course, the chances of you getting one of those must be like.... 1 in 500,000.
- Best Case: Batch #845 or higher, 150w PSU
- Almost Best Case: Batch 854 or higher, 175w PSU (Jasper X360, but older PSU)
- Good Case: Batch #735-844
- The world ends with you: 203w PSU..Batch #734 or lower (that'd mean your console was well over a year old...As Falcons came out on the 35th week of 2007).
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
