Buying a used 360 manufactured 2-20-07 is this the original design?

[holden j caufield]

My 360 is currently being sent to MS to fix the RROD so I'm thinking of buying my friend's 360. It has a manufacture date of 02-20-07. Is this the dreaded original design?

prolly. you want one that has 175w power supply.

If it's a Pro/Premium, it's 99.9% certain to be the original design. The first Zephyrs were in the 360 Elites (including mine) that launched April 29, 2007, so it's conceivable that they were already being manufactured as early 02-20-07.

The Zephyrs didn't start showing up in the Pro/Premium models until August of 2007 and then the Falcons a few months later.

Unless it has HDMI it's the original design.

The exception is that MS is allegedly planning to put Falcon motherboards without HDMI ports into some refurbs, now or in the near future.

:thumbsup:. That's the 100% success rate way of getting a Falcon.

hmm I'm wondering how this works because I have the old 203w power supply.

it took me 3 rrod before they asked for my console AND my PSU.

from my last 2, if you didn't send in the psu,, u will probably get the first run design, but i'm no expert
