Are any Elite systems confirmed to have Falcon boards?

I'm gonna go out shopping today for a 360, and I have to have a Falcon system. I want an Elite, but I haven't heard anything about them having Falcon boards. if I can't find one I'll probably just get a Pro system. Has anyone heard anything about Elites having Falcons?
 
The Halo boxes are the only ones that have been seen in the wild with the Falcon chipset.
 
Boo. Is there anyway to tell with the system still in the box? I can see the manufacturing date, but I guess that isn't necessarily a sign that it's Falcon.
 
How to tell if you have a Falcon

How to find a Falcon model 360 in stores

Based on the info in this thread, A Falcon model Xbox 360 MUST BE:

1. Lot #0734 (Halo 3) or later (all SKUs) (So far only Halo 3 Lot 0734 consoles have been found with 65nm)
2. Manufactured on or after 8/24/07
3. Team FDOU (Other teams may be Falcon as well, but none have been reported)

edit: Just noticed that some people are claiming that they got Elites and Pros with the Falcon chipset at the end of this thread. Great news if true.
 
Well, I went shopping for a system after work. Everywhere I went had nothing but 733's, and that's it, nothing newer nothing older. Most places didn't have any elites. A Best Buy employee (so take it with a grain of salt) said that Microsoft isn't shipping and elites for about a month and is going to ship them all at once afterwards to ensure "ample stock" for the holidays.

Blah, blah...yeah, yeah, wait another year. :roll:


Sraaz, where do you live? I'm in the Northern Virginia area and am going to start my search this week for a Falcon.
 
The Kansas City area. I didn't travel too far. But by our huge mall here there's about 6 places that sell systems.
