Try phoning your local Blockbuster and asking them, prolly quicker than asking here. But they do appear to be the only British retailer who is guaranteed to supply a Jasper at the moment. BTW, the Jasper Arcade box uses the SKU XGX-00023 which Blockbuster have in their system as XBOX-360-ARCADE...

Got my Jasper Arcade in UK today, Blockbusters is the place to go -- over on AVforums.com website lots of people in the UK appear to have gone to their local branch today and picked up a Jasper. :)

Thanks bodybag If one checks johnlewis.com the new 82610123 doesn't (yet) return any product, but the old 82610120 code is out of stock -- maybe we'll see switch soon. Wonder if I can call my local John Lewis in Bluewater and see if they can order 82610123.

There are two green Arcade boxes with the Pac-man and Uno ad "FIVE FREE GAMES" on the front. One says "Go Play!" under "ARCADE" and has a written list of features under the "XBOX" that includes "256 MB Memory Unit" The other box looks the same but does not say "Go Play!" and instead of a...

These look more like SKUs than sequential manufacturing numbers, they don't tell you how far off anything is. However, looking at some American sites it appears that the SKU is an Arcade Console which "Includes 5 standard arcade games PLUS Sega Superstars Tennis"; so it's the SKU code for...

Tanna are you on the hunt as well, any news on movement from retailers around your way? Yes, I plan to check my local retailers again tomorrow, I am in the home counties. I am also going into London in the week, so I'll check a couple of stores in the West End too. As I said above, UK is the...

You should persuade your friends to buy the <£100 Xbox 360 rather than you buy PS3 and check what batch numbers they get ;) I know a couple of guys who used to have 360s, sold them and bought PS3, and are now buying 360s again (coz they are cheap) this Xmas because they miss the Live, the...

Why on earth would you get a PS3? Every multi-format game is better on 360 than PS3 -- you only have to read one of Eurogamer.net technical face-off to see that is true -- and the exclusives are better on 360, PS3 ones look 'meh' to me. Although I guess you might already have 360! If the...

Not being a kill-joy but the top level of this thread says "please stay on topic", one of the reasons the thread had to move here was because there was so many off-topic posts. There are plenty of places on the internet where you can discuss things like: HDMI vs component output, HDMI...

A British retailer has got a new SKU for Xbox 360 Arcade, and says that this model comes with "with 256Mb internal hard drive" [sic] http://www.johnlewis.com/23045...duct.aspx?source=35735 I wonder if they are Jaspers?

Gosh darn and ah heck it. This is very annoying, perhaps there won't be Jaspers in the UK before Xmas. But then, they have been spotted in France and Germany; maybe all the old inventory was dumped in the UK?

Went into my local PC World here in UK, the 360 boxes are on display -- cheers -- although they appear to be trying to sell PS3 harder with more marketing materials and promotions -- jeers. Arcades were 0831 batch, Pro were repacks 0843 but not ADUE team, the other lot of repackagers. 0831, a...

On the Hexus.net thread, one guy says that he ordered a console from Amazon.co.uk a couple of weeks ago and it was manufactured October but wasn't a Jasper, and another poster points out that Amazon.co.uk and GAME were the first two places in the UK to get Falcon consoles last year and it was...

In the Hexus.net thread Scan.co.uk are reporting that their new stock of Pro models are made in July and 14.2A Falcon models. :-( They are a small (albeit very helpful) online retailer, so hopefully one of the larger British firms (Play or Amazon.co.uk) will have newer stock from Microsoft.

I am not sure that a low-end supermarket is the right place to find a high turnover of Xbox 360 consoles (for our American friends, ASDA is a British supermarket owned by Wal-Mart); and it's high turnover that is needed to get Jasper in. Your finding that they are still up to lot #0833...

What happens if you disconnect the HD and boot? Do you see 256MB of flash then? That's great news about Jasper Pro models, I must've missed it earlier. :)

There are Jasper Pro's confirmed now? I thought it was all Arcades atm. What are the batch numbers and team? Or are they the same as Arcade ones? :)

American Jaspers have the sticker on the box you are referring to, also note the part of the label that says "Only for sale in the US" We do not know what labels the UK versions will have, or what the designation will be. However, it is interesting to see that Amazon refer to current arcade...

I'm waiting in UK too, wondering what is best way to get a Jasper. I'm perfectly okay with buying an Arcade and a 120GB hard drive rather than waiting for Jasper Elites. Is it online (e.g. Play) as they must turn over lots of inventory centrally, or is it at retail (e.g. Game) where one...

AnthonyG: really? I would've though Amazon shift loads of them, compared to my local Game that might have some sat on the shelf for ages. I went into John Lewis the other day, and all the ones they had were ancient; manufactured in Q1 this year. :( Hrm... I am thinking of leaving it right...

Excellent, first Jaspers seen out in the wild! Now were to get in the UK? I'll buy an Arcade and get the 120GB hard drive pack as I think it's going to be a while before we see Jasper Elites. Who is likely to have most current stock? Although I think I'll waiting until nearly Xmas before...

I saw some in John Lewis the other day, but they were 0832 and the like ... ancient! It would be good if we knew a definite holiday bundle was 'Jasper', wasn't Prince of Persia bundle rumoured to be Jasper? This is my first Xbox purchase -- obscenely powerful PC and Wii for me up until now...
