I got a Japer Pro Holiday Bundle at the Tri-County BB for those in the Cincinnati area. I think I got the last Pro Jasper on the floor, but they had at least 4 Arcade Jaspers on the floor that I confirmed through the Window.
I got a lot 0843X CSON on the box, but the serial lot is 0840. Manufacture date is 10-30-2008
I haven't done much to it since I've only been home for about 15 minutes. But I do have the following:
1) Sticker on the box read..."XBOX 360 PRO SYSTEM VALUE BUNDLE 2008 EN/E"
2) I turned on the Pro Jasper for the very 1st time without the HD. When I go into the memory settings, there is no additional memory to be found. NXE is not pre-installed.
3) I got a Falcon PSU (175 watt) while the XBOX showed 12.1 A through the window.
4) At the initial setup screen, the kill-a-watt was a solid 85 watts. After the setup was completed, it stayed on a solid 85 watts. Once I installed the HD, the wattage bumped up to 88 watts. After upgrading to NXE, the killa-watt stayed at 88 watts idle at dashboard signed in to XBOX LIVE.
5) The fans in the back are not Delta's....I think. These have no stickers on them so I can't idenify them. BUT, at idle, these fans are quieter than any XBOX I have owned(5)...even the newer lot 0836 & 0837. I am assuming that with a cooler running XBOX, the fans are running at a slower RPM (less noise)
6) Using the flashlight, I can see the capacitors. It's a 4 X 2 setup, using the "golden" capacitors....
I am going to take more in-game measurements, but this will be later. AND, I am gonna open it up to replace the thermal interface material for the GPU & CPU. But this will take a week or two before the stuff arrives. QUESTION.....do you guys need/want me to open it up for any pics? I was hoping by powering on the XBOX without the HD when it started for the 1st time the 256 internal memory would show up...but it didn't. I can take pics.....let me know.....it might take a day or so.....
