no

I thought all falcon's had HDMI. Does that mean your replacement isn't a falcon?

If you sent in 360 that does not have HDMI, you will not get one with HDMI back. They are either refurbing 360s and sending them back out or sending out new 360s that do not have HDMIs (yes, they even have a manufacturing process to make Falcon motherboards without HDMI ports).

The best way to know if you got a Falcon is if you got a new PSU too.
 
Got mine back today. Not only did I not get a new console, I didn't get a refurb either....I got my console back. :roll: I can't wait until this POS fails on me again in a few months.

Just got mine back today, would have been last week but it looks like there was an issue with UPS. How can you tell if it's a falcon, the manufacture date is 9-19-06.

There's a label on the shipping box that will tell you.

no, don't try this if it is working properly.
 
I sent it in twice. Both times they came back as refurbs (not my original console). However, after the 2nd failure I bought an Arcade (got a Falcon w/ HDMI) and just sold the refurb when I got it back.
 
Ok, I'll be the dummy...what is Falcon and how do you know if you got one?

Just got mine back the other day...no HDMI though 🙁
