Jasper Arcades in Frankfurt/Germany
Hi everybody,
don't know if this has been posted already (but read the last few pages without finding it):
Mediamarkt Frankfurt-Enkheim (near Hessencenter) has some Jasper Arcades (at least one left after I bought mine ;-) Identified by 12.1A (mine still has the 175W power brick - it really is a BRICK - so those who can might want to wait for the 150W part)
I also might have found another way to identify them more easily (have not yet read about it here and it probably only works in Germany or Europe):
It is a Sega Superstar Tennis Bundle which has on top of the box four small circles. The first shows a console, the second a controller, the third says "256 MB M0". Below this circle on the Jaspers I checked it says "Memory" whereas the Falcons had "Memory Unit".
Everything else on the box does not match what I expected for a Jasper:
The Lot No on the cardboard box is 0839 TEAM: ADUE. The other Label is here also Q2A-00019, like the Swedish ones.
The serial number differs from the lot and is actually ... 84105. MFR Date: 2008-10-08, so it really is an old one.
I also saw some Pros (which I would have preferred) with serial 084205, but those were 14.2A Falcons (contrary to the Arcades I could not read the Amperes from the outside, but the salespeople allowed me to open two of them - and yeah I really felt like a freak.. ;-.)
The Elites had serial numbers 0838, so I did not check further. BTW. two weeks ago I checked Mediamarkt Ffm-Nordwestzentrum, but found no Jaspers.
Hope this helps some fellows to get one in time for christmas,
Many, many thanks and Happy Jasper Christmas to you all here!
