I have decided to wait till next year when this holiday bundle stops. I'll just save my pennies for a long time so I can renew my PRP or even buy a whole new second console since it dropped in price. I don't like all the talk about repackaged Xbox 360s and going down there and ending up...

In my experience it does nothing to provide the longevity of your console. My manufactured console of 1-23-08 was on top of a storage crate 10 and a half inches from the ground in a small room with a very large ceiling fan blowing on it. Always about 75 degrees in that room probably 2-4...

Mind throwing me a link. The search isn't working for me and i'm looking in the "All Cases/Cooling/PSUs Articles" which keeps giving me errors.

Awesome, thanks for the link. I guess i'm not the only one in a Best Buy region that swaps defective consoles for brand new ones still. I don't feel so special anymore though. In about 3-4 days i'll go to Best Buy and probably decide to replace my crapped console and i'll write down all the...

Ok, I have called 2 different Best Buy locations trying to figure this out. The second one said it has changed to a "Black Tie" plan. Very specifically I asked, "So I can still replace the xbox 360 in-store, though?" Reply, "Uh-huh." I guess that isn't a very specific way to ask that...

I'm getting the impression one should wait for this "Jasper" to show itself. Can't be too careful when it comes to the longevity of your console. What's an extra 46 dollars anyway? If you can get $254 surely you can get $299. Have to remember that tax as well is about another 20-30 bucks...

Thanks again I apprechiate your help. I actually just called a Best Buy sales representative and he was telling me that they have only two plans. A Product Service Plan which they would send out to get it fixed or a Product Replacement Plan which would be swapped in the store. I asked him...

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that the new replacement plans are like that now. I hope when I go down their monday they won't try to screw me and say they can only send it out for me. I guess I should just go get a new one and hope for the best that it won't crap out on me because I...

I'm new here. Never knew about this "Jasper" thing untill I ran into these messages about it. I bought Xbox 360 Pro on 03/03/08... Manufacturers date: 1-23-08 Lot: #0804 It was working great for 8 months and then on 11/18/08 I turned it on and it started blinking red lights on the two...
