That's actually not bad at all...I need to decide if I want to do this or just get a PS3. I love my 360 but those PS3 exclusive games (GOW3, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2) are so awesome and the devs are finally harnessing the power of that cell processor.

do they not all have jasper motherboards now?

and it's about time they made the thing quieter and included wireless... paying $100+ for a wifi adapter was ridiculous

Current ones, there is a very slight chance they dont all have Jasper's, depends on where u get it from probably... This is one site I used to help me in my search:

Xbox 360 Drives - List

http://www.360drives.com/howto more info on how to spot a Jasper

Well, even looking at that sorted by manufacture date, the current non Jaspers are MS warranty replacements.

The good thing is the new slim ones will all have the Valhalla boards. I dont think any other board will fit in the slim case.

My 360 is being shipped back from MS today after getting the RROD. Pretty quick turn around, but it's annoying that it happened in the first place.

I mean that's one of the reasons i care more about the PS3 then i do xbox, both are good gaming consoles, but i also get a blu-ray player too. And for bigger games you wouldn't need multiple disks.

Most xbox 360 RRoD's are produced by 1 small piece inside. It literally takes about 10-15 minutes to fix most RRoD 360's, if even that long, maybe 5-10 minutes.

When did u get it? Cuz if u bought it and it had a Jasper board inside, they might send u a lesser board back...

What exactly are they doing when they "fix" it?

I THINK I had the Jasper chip, but I can't be sure. I remember specifically looking for that after I bought it, but it's been a few years now. If they send me back one that is even MORE likely to overheat...well I can't really do anything about it, but that would suck.
