I have just ordered a Modern Warfare 2 special edition 360. Many thanks to all those guys that contributed to this thread. My search seems to have taken longer than most, but November 10th will bring a 250GB Jasper to my door.
Result.
no fella. And as Quad points out, you would be better off trying the xbox.com forums as they see more activity. This thread was great, but most of the contributers found a Jasper and left. I only check by here a couple of times a month.
There is a guy on one of the Xbox.com forums that I go on and he says that his friend works at Toys R Us, and they have some in. I'll let you know if they come back with a decent sighting.
No, unfortunately I am as poor as can be at the moment. Had to spend the Jasper savings on the mortgage a couple of months ago. At least I know they are here though and the next time I have a spare few quid I will jump in.
UK Elite Jasper hunters
I have found some BLACK ELITE JASPERS in the UK! They are LOT 920 FDOU and I check the rating 12.1A! I found some at an Asda near me. I tried a couple of stores.
They have, one in Japan and one in Germany. Be aware that this information came via the 360 drives database site and it has been known to be a little unreliable. But I know at least one of the black Elites had photos. They are definately making the things, and I cannot see the Elite being...
HA HA LMAO. I'm sorry you had to bite the bullet, anyone that has waited as long as you and I deserve a damn free Jasper Elite. I suspect that some black Jaspers have been made, but none have hit my shores. I don't just check this site, I also monitor a couple of threads on Xbox.com, and nobody...
It certainly has been a long fruitless wait. Not getting anywhere in the UK. The highest LOT I have seen is 846X, and I have now seen tons of those. I actually believe an 847 or onwards could be Jasper. The ones sighted in Jaspen and Germany were nearer to that number.
Oh well, E3 is but a...
Well I don't blame you. Things have almost ground to a halt on the Elite Jasper hunt. Nobody seems to have seen any since those RE special edition ones. bummer. Oh well, E3 is in just over a week so we might get some news then.
Man this wait is real slow. I really want to pull the trigger this weekend and get to my local game store to purchase an Elite. The guy says I can look at it first to check LOT number, but I don't expect it to be good news if I am honest. The prices have come down nicely and sit at approx £209...
Standard Elites:
Bad news from my research, I have had word from a friend that the company he works for has run out of any stock of Elites and they cannot confirm they will be getting anymore in. Those nasty rumours could be true.
I am keeping the faith and holding out for a black Jasper. Luckily the stores near me have reduced the prices of the black Elites, so when they do show I won't have to shell out as much cash. I am a little concerned about the rumours that MS are gonna discontinue the Elite, I hope I bag one...
I had a similar issue the a couple of weeks ago. My dilema was do I jump in and buy an Xbox Elite (Falcon) while the price is temporarily reduced (£224) at my chosen store. Or, do I hold out until the Jaspers are confirmed and then buy at what could be a £30 higher price. Well, I couldn't settle...
I agree buddy, I really want the black one. The 846x FDOU Elites are about in my area. I have seen a number of different stores with them. So the 847s can't be far away (I'm speculating that they will hit at 847 or 848). At least it is better than the 835 which seemed to be everywhere up until...
Try online if it is a red one that you are going for. I'm having no look in UK, nothing above the 846x on the black Elite front, which I saw 3 months ago. Pretty lame really. Online you can get the red jaspers though.
Man.. you know things are getting dry when the best we can manage is April fools stuff.
UK hunters
Game has reduced their prices on the black Elite again! Now down to £209
It certainly has slowed down, I used to check this forum daily and would have to read through a ton of comments. Most of the hunters have got their Jaspers so the only ones left are the ones searching for Elite or even some Pro Jaspers.
Just been into town here in UK and HMV had a load of...
The red Elites may be out of stock in stores, but I bet you can still get on by going online. I know that some stores here in the UK have sold out but their website says "in stock". they will only have sent out a small allocation to each store and retained much of the stock for online purchases...
I strongly suspect that they were actually repackaged Xboxs. I'd bet that they were built late last year, but not early this year.
As for the other stuff I put in that comment, well it was all just random arrows, many have suggested on the web that they are to stop selling the Elite...
I know some guys on here and at the other forums I participate on have had a few issues with Jaspers freezing. Some were fixed by clearing the cache (dead simple), so that sounds good. One thing I'm sure is that the Jasper will lower the incidences of RROD. Unfortunately that is not the only...
Seeing people on many forums with their Jasper Elites is real cool and I could stomach the red if only they would offer it with a better bundle. Not really that bothered by RE5, I really want a decent bundle with a couple of games and an extra controller. Game have still got a little reduction...
@ TeknoKid
many thanks for that. I had doped that would be the case, don't want to have to buy things twice.
@ the two above
I see no reason why you couldn't do it, but as Quad says, I wouldn't like to have to send it in for repair. It would surely void the warranty (even with the Jasper I...
Did you happen to check which team produced it? I'm thinking it could be CSON, in which case it may be more likely to have the Nidec fans.
By the way, just off topic but I could do with an answer, if I purchase an Arcade game via my gold account linked to my gamertag can other people using...
Those Elites give me fresh hope that I will see some before next year. It is highly frustrating for me that I have seen a boat load of 846x and checked a ton of them. None were Jasper. I was only a week out. Although at least they cannot be too far away. Trouble is they are not gonna arrive at...
I have visited a number of Game stores in my hunt, just returned from the ones at Meadowhell in Sheffield. The bad news is that they are only up to LOT 829 and 830, so no Jasper Elites there. I have also tried a store in Scotland and another one in South Yorkshire, none were anywhere close to...
Well I will be jumping on the 360 bandwagon long before E3 (June), so I can't really worry too much about that. So bummed out by the wait, especially as there has been a 2 week price cut on the Elites at my chosen store. I even have some store credit, and it is burning a hole in my pocket. I...
I actually really do want a black one, I much prefer the colour to the new red SE. I also want the bundle that goes with the black Elite (Halo + extra controller + Kung Fu Panda + Lego Indiana Jones). The bundle is actually £4 cheaper than the SE red one, and as you can see, it has more games...
I have seen that rumour about phasing Elites out at a few places too. Man I'm peeved. Did I shoot Bambi in a former life, is someone else in the world enjoying massive good fortune to compensate for this happening to me? This is bloody typical, they will probably phase the Elite out before I get...
Hi fella,
Did you managed to get any LOT numbers for the Elites?
I have not played too much Halo 3. I loved the original Halo and also Halo 2, I played them so much. Not played much Halo 3 though as I have only been able to borrow a 360, and I spent most of my time on COD4. I do intend to get...
@ full beige
£30 is pretty good for 3yr cover, I'm impressed. I seriously think that it was pure bad luck. I have seen a few instances of Jasper failure, but the key word there is "few". There does not seem to be a major issue with it and all electrical devices can fail. Yes I am aware that as...
We are getting close to the black ones, but good lord this is taking some time. I am surprised we are at March 09 and still no widespread sightings. I have also toyed with the idea of jumping onto one of those RE5 bundles. If it had been a different game then it would have been an easy choice...
You see this is what really boils my piss. I am sat here like some kind of MS lap dog waiting for a Jasper and this is happening to them too. I feel your pain fella I really do. It half makes me want to jump in and just sod this Jasper hunting business and get a black Falcon. The trouble is I...
Well I sincerely hope that they have started to appear. LOT 847 is higher than any I have seen. I have posted many times here and on other forums that the 846x Elites I saw were not Jasper. I looked at many of them and none were Jasper. Someone on another forum had said that they saw some 846...
No worries, glad I found out where you got it from. I have not been on Live since I gave my friend his Xbox back so I thought it must be one of these forums. I hope to get my black Elite jasper very soon. I have the cash for it, just waiting for them to show at my local store. I may be on Live a...
they look promising. But one has none matching LOT numbers ie they don't follow the usual rules of matching the manufacturing date.
Now the price seems to have dropped in the UK and they have apparently started to appear I am even more stoked than before.
