5 Stars Don’t be fooled!
Don’t be fooled by the Amazon message that “There is a newer version of this item.” The “newer” version is the Game of the Year edition which actually comes with an older console. These older consoles don’t contain the new Jasper chip. I just received the Resident Evil elite console in the mail today and the console is only 4 months old and it does contain a Jasper chip. By contrast, the Game of the Year editions I have seen are as much as 1 year old and have all contained either Falcon or Zephyr chips. On a related note, all of the systems I have seen packaged with Kung Fu Panda and Indiana Jones have also contained Falcons.
I’m sure a lot of folks probably think that the difference between Jaspers and Falcons only matters to hard-core gaming geeks, but I think it matters a little more than many people realize. The Xbox 360 has been plagued with hardware defects ever since it was released. Famously, the system is known for over-heating and for a system error colorfully called “The Red Ring of Death.” Supposedly, the Jasper chip solves these problems. For my money, that makes this package the best currently on the market.
5 Stars its an elite………..do you really have to question it.
i replaced my regular white 360 w/out an hmdi plug with the the red elite and im not looking back, its quiet as hell thanks to the chip. and its cooler and less prone to getting RED EYE. still capable of getting it but very unlikely unless you like to move the 360 around while its on like a jerk, cuz thats the main problem even if your not trying to change its stance or just picking it up to clean. that is what happens to it if you move it. i’ve had 3 360’s so i got some expertise on this. i got the package kinda messy but i dont think it was even the seller’s fault, i believe the delivery people were tryin 2 get to it, cuz the packaging that protects it was gone on the same side it was opened so slightly but i think they were trying to get to they small things that comes with the console itself. but that has nothing to do with the seller or the product, just greedy poor scumbag delivery boys…….just buy it before it runs out…………you jerks
4 Stars Xbox 360 RE combo
Hey it is what it is. It is an elite version in red bundled with a game. You should have seen already it is the jasper chip set. It is deffinetly quieter then my 360 pro editon or my Halo edition. If you can get it for the $399 price point it is worth picking up.
Only downside is Microsoft doesnt sell the red rechargable battery pack seperate. Yeah you can get the red edition controller your just out of luck chsing down the red battery pack. Some people are finicky about their stuff. Meh, I’ll live.
2 Stars WARNING
Before you buy it do a search on the “Red Ring of Death” (RRoD), Or just anything about “flashing red lights” and “xbox 360″. They should put a warning in their ads or something. I got the RRoD, I know a few people who got the RRoD, and I don’t really know too many people with an xbox 360. Based on that and just all the other people an internet search will show have gotten the problem, makes it seem to me like a common problem. Basically if you see those lights there’s something wrong with your system and you can’t play it. Sure there is a 3yr warranty to fix it, from what I understand only for the 3 red lights. Only 1yr for the 2 red lights, supposed ‘overheating’ fault, which I eventually got during a 10min game session and continue to get every once in a while. Even still with the warranty you have to send your system in to get it repaired or replaced with a refurbished system, which takes about a month to get resolved. It’s pretty annoying paying so much for a system and not being able to play it. The problem is common enough I’m not putting any more money into their system. All I’m trying to do is warn you of something I didn’t know, other than that the quality of it’s games is fine. Same old same old, just flashier graphics, as expected. I’m just frustrated with Xbox and I’m going to try and not spend any more money on Xbox and save up to get a PS3. If you’re looking for something new and original get a wii, other than that for graphics and more mature games get PS3. Anyways I just think people should know the risks they’re taking, maybe by now the problem has been addressed with a better answer than a warranty extension, but I’m just telling you my experience.
5 Stars XBOX 360 Resident Evil 5 Elite Red/Black Console
This is the first official release of the “Jasper” Elites and all i can say from having this xbox for 60 days now it runs hella nice! when compared side by side with my black xbox elite, the resident evil version runs quieter, uses less energy and doesn’t create as much heat! the power supply uses 150 watts and 12.1 amps and i can tell you from experience i put the box to a good 8 hour session several times and my resident evil jasper elite doesn’t even sound or feel like its been running at all…and while i ran my black elite falcon box it would be hot and sound like an oscillating fan (exaggerating to a degree).
you can’t beat the price though its an elite and it comes with resident evil 5 for free! which is by the way an awesome game..and as an added bonus it comes with codes for streetfighter 2 hd remix for free and others as well. you get all the same stuff as a regular elite except these are the jasper xbox’s and its all red with black. the 120 hdd is black and chrome the front is mixed with black and chrome and the controllers are black and red. as of now the only wireless accessories you can buy for it in red and black are the controllers with the play and charge kit, you cant buy the play and charge kit by its self and you can’t buy the controller by its self only the package with both together. which kind of sucks because the elite comes with a wireless red and black controller so to get the red play and charge kit for it you will need to pay extra money for the one that has the controller with it..so i got two controller with only one play and charge kit.
on the other hand if your not a huge resident evil fan and you aren’t taken away with the colors go with the regular black xbox elite because now they come with fable 2 and halo 3 for free which are both game of the year titles and soon will be getting the platinum hits collection. but be aware that the new black xbox elites offering fable 2 and halo 3 for free aren’t jasper elites, they are in fact older model xbox’s repackaged in newer factory wrapping.
