    Hey guys, I just wanted to apologize for being MIA for the past few weeks in this thread, but I think it's best that I just formally bow out now. My goal of identifying Jasper and getting myself one has been accomplished and the info for everyone else to do the same is out there. Thanks to all...

    A couple of notes on my Jasper now that I've used it for a bit: 1. I think it's actually louder than my Falcon. The fans have a hum/vibration to them that is far more noticeable. 2. I'm a little surprised at how little power we saved with the 65nm die shrink. I figured it would be more like...

    Wow that's dedication! There's no way I'm going out in this weather (I'm in Boston, MA too)! I got the last Arcade at South Bay Target a few weeks ago and it happened to be a Jasper. Glad you were successful! PS - Target employees are never that helpful to me. Maybe it's just that South Bay...

    Hmm intriguing.... obviously MS wouldn't have required the increased memory if they didn't have to, and the old boxes had 16MB already. Maybe it's not a full featured NXE?

    I totally forgot to weigh mine before selling my Falcon. I believe they were the same size though.

    I haven't heard of XGX-00014, but if it has internal memory, it's almost certainly a Jasper. It may just be a slightly different SKU for Sweden/Europe, likely related to power differences. If the console says 12.1A, it should be Jasper as well.

    Interesting stuff Darrell. I'm not sure what to think about the X-clamp stuff. I would think that Microsoft would have figured out by now if it was somehow detrimental, but who knows. I think it's wise that you reminded everyone that these are not indestructible.

    That date is not a strict cutoff! There are Jaspers before then (I have one in fact) and Falcons after then. That just happened to be the date the first one found was made.

    That would definitely be the first Jasper Elite I've heard of. It had to happen eventually ;)

    I think it's hard to make the conclusion that it's "ZERO %" based on one data point. At some point, they will become Jasper Pros from all the online outlets.

    I just realized why it's harder to see the current rating on Pros & Elites: the hard drive is pre-installed, leaving less wiggle room in the box. I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier.

    My Falcon Pro has the same exact text, including the "EN/E."
