Hello,
I'm hoping this can be posed to some 360 experts, to let me know how excited, or not, I should be:

After my 2y.o. "Zepher" RROD'd recently, I shipped it off to MS and being a game-junkie facing a 3-4 week jones, I headed over to CEX on 14th St in NYC and looked for a used replacement.

Of the 3-4 used consoles for sale, one looked pretty good, protective plastic still on the Drive door. I asked to check it out and to my surprise it was marked "12.1aV", the elusive "Jasper"?! The price was $145 and I said I'd take it on the spot. To my further surprise, although it was an Arcade, it included a wireless controller and 256mb internal. No HDMI cable, but I had one from my RROD box. All extras were still sealed in plastic.

- The box markings indicate: Lot #:0910X, XGX-00038, Team FDOU
- The DVD Drive appeears to be a Phillips/Benq as per this comparison chart:

Here's my photos if they help:

and I hope you guys can help me out.
Thanks!

Well you do have a jasper, but you might as well just bought a new console and made sure that it was in 100% shape.

I would have bought a new one personally. Especially the price of the arcades these days. Smile

If its a Jasper It most likely has a lite-on in it. but you didn't save much considering an arcade is like 199 or less if you can find them online.
