those are black. so either jasper or falcon ouch.

abit careless, but it's microsoft they know we expect that from them.

Not strictly true mate, there are a lot of elites out there that although they have the new HDMI and ANA chip they do not have the updated CPU which signifies the Falcon revision (Most Halo special editions aren't Falcons despite having HDMI).  The fact that it's E74 though does make it very likely a Falcon.

I don't see the harm in the pictures being shown though to be honest as thats what the room is designed for ultimately.

yeah, falcon likely, but people said falcon elites were fixed... and hmm. they are not.

Falcon was definitely not the fix.  I waited to get a 360 until Falcon came out, and my first one got the beginnings of E74 (green and yellow lines all over the screen, which means the gpu is about to fail.)  My second one has been alive and kicking for awhile now, but I no longer have any confidence in Falcon models, as my brother's got RRoD a couple of months ago.  In fact, I only have one friend left whose first 360 did not die, and his is the Halo 3 model.

Doesn't matter......I still love my 360.  Just finished a 4 hour Lost Odyssey binge.

To a degree the Falcon revision did by and large fix some issues.  They altered the chassis on the Falcon revision so the central standoffs were lower thus preventing some motherboard warping.  This is I suspect why HDMI models are more prone to E74 than earlier models because the motherboard warps differently causing E74 as opposed to some of the more standard RROD errors we hd seen previously.  Obviously it didn't ever fix the issue to the degree to make the console as reliable as either the PS3 or Wii though.
