   For the ones who bought this console can you please tell me the manufactor year in which this console was make?
   
   i need to know if this elite uses the jasper chip or the falcon.
   
   The american elites are already using the jasper chips and have a lower failure rate :s
   
   so please if you bought one this month tell me the manufactor date

   thanks

   whilst I don’t dispute that others may have had a problem with the console, I have had mine for years without so much as a hiccup… it is noisey, however I understand the extra fans prevent the system over heating which proved to be a significant problem with the old 360… my advice would be this, understand the risks, from personal experience I’ve had no problem with the console, but I believe this is the best option when buying an x-box… alternatively I’d probably look at the PS3

   being a multi platform gamer i own a
   
   ps3 as well as a xbox,360 elite and up
   
   till now iv’e had no problems with my
   
   360.
   
   it,s a little short on features like
   
   built in wifi, digital optical output
   
   for sound and hi def movie play back
   
   but it plays standard def movies just fine.
   
   now it,s no secret that the 360,s disc
   
   drive is noisy but if you update to the new
   
   xbox experience, you can install games direct
   
   to the hard drive for silent running.
   
   the xbox live portal is very well established
   
   and is in my opinion the leader with sony and
   
   nintendo playing catchup.
   
   now how many stars to give?
   
   the sword of damocles that is the red ring of
   
   death has not yet fallen on my 360 elite,but it
   
   is a factor i must consider in this review given
   
   i’ve suffered this fate before , so,
   
   i give the console three stars ,and i do this because
   
   of what was left out of the box (wifi,high def and the huge power supply)
   
   now bear in mind i,ve only had my 360 elite for about
   
   a month or so , so ask me again in a year from now.
   
   the online service is best in class but hardware reliability
   
   stops the 360 elite scoring higher.
   
   if the hardware reliability was as robust as the
   
   online service then the 360 elite would be five funnel dreadnaught
   
   but as it stands it,s a three funnel battleship.

   Love the black finish on the console and the 120gb hard-drive comes in very handy especially if you wish to install games to the hard-drive to lower noise from the 360.
   
   Would recommend spending the extra money to buy one of these simply due to the increased hard-drive space which increases use of this product.
