    Well Guys, I think my days on the is board may be over for I got a Jasper Xbox 360. As my previous posts stated, I could NOT find a Jasper PRO here in Denver. Based on others' advice, here is what I did: Went to Best Buy Bought a Jasper Arcade (which are EVERYWHERE). $199 Bought the...

    Bingo. That's what I'm thinking. Buy the cheapest game on the list to improve the value of the $50 gift card. What's funny is that if I buy that game, I'll give it to my brother who's son would love the game. So win-win.

    Hey JasperHunter. Yes, my receiver does have HDMI. The only reason I'm willing to buy the arcade is that I know I can get a Jasper Arcade in Denver. For the past 2-3 days I've checked nearly all BBs, CCs, and Target and no Jasper PRO or Elites. I'm planning to give my younger brother...

    Well, I'm still hoping to find a Jasper PRO tomorrow before the Best Buy promotion ends this week. If I can't find a Jasper PRO, then I'll go to the Jasper Arcade route. I appreciate the info everybody!

    Ah, I gotcha. My receiver does have HDMI so I should be set with the HDMI cable that I'll buy online. You had me worried but on another forum, I was assured that if I use HDMI, I wouldn't need the Optical connection.....like I use now. Thanks.

    Hey Yumi, Wouldn't the HDMI provide the audio from the console to the receiver? You wouldn't need the AV-Adapter if you have HDMI.

    Well I should point out that I already have a 360 and have the headset so there wouldn't be any performance difference than my "modified" Jasper Arcade vs. Jasper Elite. Of course, minus the black color.

    Well BB has the 120GB for base price of $150. So minus the $30 or so difference with the gift card, it would drop the prices to, approx, $120. The cheapest price I saw for the 120GB is at newegg for $135 so this is still the cheaper buy. I would buy the HDMI cable for $5 or so.....I...

    Wow. Thanks Darrell for the pic. Mmm, I don't think I've seen a 843X in Denver. Only 841X, 842X, and 844X. They were not Jasper. I'll keep an eye out for this on the PRO, if I don't pick up the Arcade.

    You know, I'm beginning to take other people's suggestion on abandoning my quest for a Jasper PRO and get a Jasper Arcade and then buy the 120 gb hard drive. That would roughly be the same cost as a PRO and I would get the jasper!

    So it's early morning today in Denver and I'm about to return my PRO that I purchased last night thinking it was the Jasper. In my previous post, I had stated I found it with the LOT #844X and M. Date of 10-30-08 but my buddy and I bent the box back (so I wouldn't disturb the packaging for the...
