XBox 360 Holiday Bundle = Jasper?

[artemicion]

I'm planning on buying an XBox360 as soon as I can be sure that the one I buy is the newer Jasper chipset with the 65nm graphics chip. Anybody know if the "holiday" bundle that comes with Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda comes with a Jasper? Amazon says the new bundle was released on Oct. 8. Anybody know how it worked with Falcon and the new bundles that came out around then?

When this happened with the Falcon last year, you basically had to look for a certain lot number and team number. There hasn't been any real confirmation of a Jasper at retail yet though.

Most of the lot numbers for Elites I have seen around lately are 0822.

Yeah last years bundle is when I bought my 360, there was a mix of older boards and falcons. I had to hunt for lot numbers. Since no one has confirmed Jasper yet, either its not out yet or ain't as simple to figure out without taking the whole system apart. Which not many ppl are willing to do to a new console.

More like they're using the holiday bundle to move all the old stock (falcon) so they can release jasper 360 next year.

I bought an elite bundle for a gift and it was built in April =P

this thread on Seattle PI is the resource I use to read up on the latest in the Jasper hunt.

So far, no confirmation of Jasper anywhere

in fact, the user JasperHunter in that thread posted an article on the Anandtech homepage: http://www.anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3424
