Look on the side of the box at the power that it uses. Jasper's use 12.1 amps. Falcon is 14, and Zephyr is 16

AVOID a zephyr at all costs, and if you somehow manage to get a Zenon God help you. If you don't buy used and buy new, buy an arcade because by the sound of it you already own a 360, and therefore probably a hard drive. It's apparently much easier to find a Jasper arcade, and you can just use your old hard drive to save money.

The amps are written right by the volts, I think they are all 12 volts anyways. Here is a pic to help:

Yep just look for the "12.1A" on either the side of the box for power consumption or through the window like that on the 360 itself and it is a jasper..guaranteed. No other model can operate on 12.1A

I've never had problems with the Falcon and I own two of them, hell I have a Halo 3 360 and its still going strong. Its much smarter to get a Jasper though if you can.

Yeah I have a zephyr, and it is still going ok. If you get a falcon or jasper you should be fine. Just try to get the Jasper. I have a different fan in mine to keep it cooler

There might be, it just depends what they have on the shelves. Just check the power consumption on the box and you could probably find one

I don't know about regular black elites, but all resident evil red elites are jasper models

i was in best buy yesterday and it looks like they're (microsoft or whoever), putting the manufact. date in that little window.

From my understanding, anything that's dated 10/08 and above will likely be a "jasper" chipped system.

I checked three of them plus the amp usage and they all were "jaspers".

hope this helps!
