Re: Finding Your Own Jasper 360 - A simple guide (With pictures)

I did manage to find a whole bunch of jasper elites at the store that shall not be mentioned yesterday. Manufactured mid August 09.. Look for the white box, though mine did have the halo bundle sticker on the front.

If I were to purchase an Arcade console online, what is the likelihood I would receive a jasper unit?

I'm gonna assume you mean through FS.ca...

 

You're pretty close to being guaranteed that it's a Jasper. The Jasper units have been around for a long time, and I would highly doubt that any units remaining in storage are old units. You can always return it within the 30 day period, no questions asked. (You won't get refunded for the shipping though.)

 Is it safe to have it shipped? No damage will come to the console?

Yea, they package it well. If it's damaged, just send it back!

Okay bought a 60 GB pro....Jasper!....Now I would like to purchase an elite for a friend specifically this one

 

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10131777&catid= .

 

Can anyone confirm if these are Jaspers? Thanks in advance. 

 

 

[EDIT]
Well I went to a futureshop and purchased an elite, was indeed a Jasper, in case anyone wanted to know. It was the exact same one in the link.

I purchased the new Holiday bundle and it was a Jasper.

All consoles in stores nowadays should be Jaspers. They've had WAY more than enough time to clear out out their old stock.

Re: That could be making the salespeople a littel nervous wit...

i still have an old Zephyr with 20GB HDD from years ago and ive never had a problem. These things seem really hit and miss. I know people who have gone through like 3+ 360s in a couple of years, and i play mine alot but no RROD yet. When/if i do, ill try to get an arcade Jasper so i can use my old HDD instead of having to fork over $300+ for the slim and a HDD for it.
