Don't come whining to us when you find out it's either:
A.) already RROD
B.) a month away from RROD
C.) banned from live

1.) it doesnt have RROD
2.) it already had RROD and was fixed to prevent or lesson chance of it from happening again
3.) its not banned from xbox live
4.) 50% of xbox get RROD, so new or old makes no diff. They ALL break.
5.) mine came with a HDD
6.) most importantly, ive got a chrome CD tray

Was able to get in on this deal - thanks OP! - and my console is expected to arrive today. :)

I've been out of console gaming for good 2~3 years.. lol. How vital is to have hard drive for the unit? I don't foresee using it anything other than profile/game saves on mine. Would the built-in memory (I think it has 256mb?) be enough for it?

It's vital to have a HDD -- Xbox Live is amazing and SHOCK actually worth the $40 (it's always onsale somewhere).

You will not regret getting Live, with MW2 out and soon L4D2.

this was a sick deal Gillbot. A jasper 360 for $99; outrageous.

This will be the 7th or 8th 360 I have owned; 3 of which died (1 RRoD, 2 bad graphics). Excited to get a nice quiet Jasper to replace my Falcon Elite.

I'm happy with it. :biggrin:

I have emailed them multiple times and all they keep saying is I should have it by the 23rd of Nov.

Still no code, emailed multiple times yesterday and today. No answer so I called tonight, they told me that the follow up order was placed from a different account? Seems like a load of BS to me, but they are supposed to call back tomorrow. Why do I feel I'm getting screwed here? How can I have two accounts when I just made the account to purchase this item?
