UK update: Checked my local Currys and PC world in Durham, uk no Arcade to speak of, sold out apparently, "new" Pro units in at the weekend lot# 0839, this pace of turnover is killing me, I too believe the Microsoft have dumped a load of old inventory in the UK, we always get the crap over here!

I know a guy who has just sold his 360, Wii and DS to get a PS3, foolish in my opinion, better have both than just the PS3, but he'll be back! lol Tanna are you on the hunt as well, any news on movement from retailers around your way?

I already have a launch Xenon, that is still going strong (in a minority probably). I desperately want a Jasper, but also a PS3 as I'm in a minority myself of owning a 360 compared to rest of my friends, so just social reasons really, my hardcore gaming will always be on X360, better Online...

Nothing yet as far as I can tell, A guy on a Jasper thread over at AVForums said his Amazon.co.uk purchase that came lst week had a munfacture date of 19th Oct, only 4 days out from the 23rd that is the apparent date to look for. so I don't think they are far off selling the Jaspers...

UK Jasper Hunters, just checked the Hexus forum thread posted by Tanna Tanna further up this page, and it appear the 'New' stock at Scan.co.uk is old, like manufactured July 18th 2008 old, disappointing, very dissappointing. anyone got news on Amanzon.co.uk and Play.com's stock?

I'd argue that a low-end supermarket retailer like ASDA who only last week were selling the X306 arcade at £110 is exactly the kind of store to turn over a large number of units. The ASDA in Durham is also an "ASDA living" store that only retails non-food stock. I'm only asking for a...

Hi, Congrats to Darrell and JasperHunter on your Jasper finds, I've been following and posting on this this for ages now, wayback since the old 8Bit blog post started. Being in the UK I'm obviously going to have to wait a while longer to get a Jasper, seems to be slow moving here, at least...

I think CSON must be more common in the US, I've never seen a CSON in the UK either, all FDOU units here, possibly all FDOU in Europe too?

I haven't actually ordered one from Play.com myself yet, I stopped when I read one of the latest customer reviews from just a few days ago, with someone saying the unit that bought was manufactured in September, nothing more specific than that though!. At the time Play.com had sold out of the...

well, I'm 95% convinced that we have Jasper now, comparing images of the GPU from xbox-scene forum post Link and the falcon GPU shown on AnandTech the new GPU die is visiblly smaller, with a different configuration of the smaller little chips around it. Also the 256mb of motherboard built in RAM...

This really does sound like great news, however I will not be convinced until a suspected Jasper unit is ripped open and Jasper GPU is measured and measured in glorious technicolor. Being a graphic designer, I'm alway sceptical of photogrphic evidence because a good designer with good...

@AF XBoxer: Better photos would help everyone here make better conclusion, try using a camera with a macro mode to get infocus closeup shots of the serial label.

Is it me, or does there seem to be a lot more team FDOU 360's with higher lot numbers floating around at the moment compared to the CSON units? Pure speculation, but possibly a transition period for CSON?

Just to re-iterate jlemon's reply, ADUE are a repackaging team that take older 360 stock and repack them into newer boxes that are generally bundle offers, i.e. the Holiday bundle in the US among others. the Lot# on the cardboard box only shows when it was repackaged not when the actual console...

I suppose fan noise could be down to 2 things: 1) Different manfacturing teams have been reported to use different fans, apparently the CSON 360's use "brushless" fans and are quieter compared to the FDOU machines. 2) Noise differences between lot numbers from the same team could be down...
