I picked up an arcade last night from Gamestop (im impatient) So now im just going to buy an HD on ebay. Its definitely a jasper, which is great.

Only problem im having now is lag on Halo 3. No idea why.. a friend of mine is the host so its not that (3 miles away, he has 12Mb/sec). My internet is 1.5Mb/sec.. which should be plenty. Any tips?

Did you install Halo3 to the harddrive? If so, remove it.

That's interesting you had this problem. I was playing Halo 3 online last night with my friend on Live (doing the Campaign co-op), and we kept stuttering every so often too (in big action areas), sometimes it would freeze right up, and then it would smooth out again. I started the game so I guess I was hosting but my internet is plenty fast and never have problems with other online games.

Edit: Playing with the disc, not installed to HD on my Elite Falcon.

To the OP:

I just noticed a New Open Boxed Jasper at Geeks.com for $175, with free shipping. The specs say it has the 150w PSU.
