A: u might be able to save few hundred bugs...but chances of 3ROD is at High Risk due to most 2nd hand 360 is NOT Falcon but older chipset...i believe most seller are selling it because they are AWARE of the same problem as u do, and doing so to get a newer Falcon chipset for themselves...and bear in mind, most 2nd hand 360 are over warranty period as well...

B: I bought the Elite earlier this month...the heat is not so significant compared to previous chipset...and with 3 years warranty, even if the 3ROD and any other faulty issues strike, warranty claim is juz step-a-way...enjoying ur game without worryin bout ur console goes AWOL is "priceless"

C: since u're buyin new 360 anyway, why go for older chips since Falcon is widely a available nowadays? u know the older chipset is "more" vulnerable to 3ROD...if its $$$ difference between them, i don't think saving 100-200 or even 300 is enough to justified u in gettin the older chipset...

Go for B .. thats ur best choice.

please dont buy
later on another topik title
"there is 3 red light blinking on my 360"

OMG...blinky...blinky...what can I say...

I don't know why u said Elite are not available in Falcon chipet...it's not true that Elite is only available with older chips ler...most 360 now is Falcon chipset ad lor, unless its manufacturer date is before 24th August 2007...read more bout it and how to differentiate them here:

AnandTech.com

CONCLUSION, i suggest u to get any 360 with Falcon chipset!!! all the ORIGINAL 360 comes with 3 years warranty by MS ad...to be safe, visit trusted console retailer like GH at Cineleisure...

NOT all Halo Edition is modded ler bro, i think u're getting some misleading information...it's true that Halo Edition is almost 99% in Falcon chipset, but whether it's modded or not depends on the retail shop mod it anot...bear in mind NO 360 comes in "modded" OEMly...there are tons of Halo Edition unmodded out there which comes with 3 years warranty geh lor...

No point mentioning bout ur fren's 360 getting 3ROD anot now...it's YOU who are deciding whether which 360 to get...and we're NOT recommending 2nd hand older chipset b'coz of the risk of 3ROD...so far, Falcon chip is considered safe...so, based on what we know today...I'm recommending Falcon as well...whether it's Elite, Halo Edition, Premium or Arcade package it's up to u...

B buy the new falcon xbox360 and try ur luck....

go and fetch ur Falcon now ! aauuung aauuuung auuuung ! haha

If you can wait for a few more months, then go for the Jasper set. you want to try your luck, then you can go take the falcon.

when time for jasper come
most of us has been join dark forces since
the darth 3rod forces is getting stronger day by day

HD ready , starting from 720p . Full HD = 1080p .

i think what's happening is this:

Both plasma and lcd are displaying the same thing in the shop

1) you look at the plasma. it's showing a scene. you then take 1-2 sec to turn your head to look at the lcd.
2) you then look at lcd, and it's showing a different scene! omg!@ hax! it's 1-2 seconds ahead of the scene you saw on the plasma~!!
3) you file a lawsuit against the lcd manufacturer for illegal tamering with the space-time continuum and put them out of business, and claim damages worth RM6.923 billion.



seriously, if you can afford a full HD 1080p tele that's of a decent size, like 42"+, then by all means get the falcon elite with the HDMI and enjoy to the max.
if you've got nothing that can handle 1080p, and if you won't be able to get one anytime soon, and if you dun wan to fork out the extra cash then go for the lower end one lah.

so ultimately it depends on how far you're willing to go to spend $.

easy liew , just look at the LOT number..Lot 734 and above , power supply 175w..confirm falcon
