WHATS UP W29 IS BACK AND RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at Bestbuy the other day and I found Xbox 360's on the floors stacked up from the ground up. So I went and observed the boxes and according to Xbox.com the Falcon motherboards (ones with the new 65nm CPU and heatsink) are in the Arcade, Premium and now the Elites.

Just be sure to check first the Lot # if its 0742 or higher its a Falcon, if it has 175 Watt on the box its a Falcon, do to the Falcon generates less power than the 90nm chip, and check the manufactured date, if its 10/1/07 or higher its indeed a Falcon.

I cracked open a Falcon Premium that night and the lot # was 0744, manufactured 10/27/07 and it indeed had the 175 watt power brick.

So your chances of getting a Falcon motherboard are really higher now than before.

Good luck Xbox 360 Falcon hunting!!
