Dear Scan
If you allowed me to order one of these I would immediately do so, as would many other people.
Will you have an SKU that we can specifically order a Jasper model from?
If not, or cannot comment, what are the current batch numbers you are dispatching on Xbox 360 Arcade models?
StooMonster
Elite = no
LN24275 - New stock coming Friday, I will have a look once they land
:)
Chris, if you had Xbox 360 consoles listed as "Jasper guaranteed". I'd be willing to bet you'd sell each and every one of them. :)
Will be interesting to see what happens with Pro models, but so far Microsoft is only discussing new Arcade models and all the Jaspers found in the USA are in Arcade models.
ChrisP, fantastic ... look forward to Friday and seeing what you get. :)
If you get some Jaspers I'm sure you'll sell out quickly, there's a bit of an Osbourne Effect going on with potential Xbox 360 buyers atm.
StooMonster
I am also in the market for a new 360 as I'm sick of repairing my Elite, if you do get Elite's with the Jasper chipset I will definitely take one.
I would definitely buy a Jasper if you get them in Chris.Iv been waiting for months for them to get here.My Local retailer (Game/GameStation)are still on XBox's from July.
Yeah, I'm waiting on one......
I would be interested in one also:)
Me as well, i'll probably keep my old one in the spare room as a backup!
It's Friday ... what are the LOT NUMBERS and TEAM on the new stock?
If you open a box up, is the console's power rated at 12.1A (it's a Jasper) rather than 14.2A (it's a Falcon).
StooMonster
Go on Chris crack that box open the suspense is killing me
Sorry folks, they've not arrived yet but they could arrive here any time now as we're just awaiting the delivery from the suppliers.
This is why GPS tracking in delivery vans is a must ...
Still not arrived yet?
Any news?
As I explained in the earlier post -we where unable to do anything yesterday due to the technical issues we had yesterday.
I doubt it will be before Monday before we've had chance to look into this further.
Isnt it just a matter of looking at the boxes to see if its the 12 amp rated ones?
yes but i'm guessing that they run on reduced staff levels over the weekend (i.e. instore staff only), so no-one is available to open boxes...Quote:

Mmm, they are now showing them in stock.......
Ah they are in stock,but is anyone going to bite the bullit and see if its a Jasper they get sent?
"yes but i'm guessing that they run on reduced staff levels over the weekend "
I don't know but it can get crazy-busy there in december on a saturday!
Exactly - we wouldn't have time to look at opening boxes etc on a Saturday
You dont really have to open the box.Just look in the small window at the top and slide the xbox as far right as possible and you should at least be able to see the last couple of the digets of the amperage (12.1A)

im also on the lookout for a jasper, if im going to buy another 360 its going to be one that is going to work or i may aswell keep the one i already have!!
Can we assume that the Consoles were not the 'jasper' type?
We'll look into this as soon as possible.
Not to be pushy mate but if I was you I would check that out as fast as I could.I can assure you that if you did in fact have "Jaspers" it would be spread over the web quicker than you know what off a shovel.
aye, but can you imagine just how quick they would sell out if they confirmed jaspers...Quote:

We have stock but it is very unlikely we will have chance to check today....
We will update the thread shortly.
Ive just checked for u guys
Ive checked 2 and BOTH state manufacturing date as 18th July 2008 and the Amperage is 14.2
Hope this helps
I.E this would indicate we do NOT have Jasper stock
Sorry
Thanks guys. Guess it's taking Microsoft a long time to shift their old inventory in the UK.
Ah well thanks for checking anyway.
That's strange. I bough one of Amazon a couple of weeks ago and the manufacturing date is October 2008! Not a Jasper though :)
Now a few posts ago you stated that you wouldnt have time to check the stock,but a few posts up you say you have checked "BOTH".I dont think that would have been to much of a hassle to check as soon as they arrived.Im not being ungrateful here I appreciate that you did check and post your findings on here for all us Jasper Hunters.
IIRC Amazon and GAME/Gamestation were the first to get Falcons last year, likely to be the same this year with Jasper.
Arcade packs first followed by Pro then Elite.
Thanks Tak, that's really useful for Jasper hunters. Sorry SCAN, I'll buy something else from you for being such a good sport.
maybe next time then eh :)
Bummer. My Elite has started to freeze and RRoD again last night - I'm desparate :(

Ok....Im a completely different department than Chris, he is sales and is bogged down with sales and what not due to the xmas period, I am in technical and on the rare occasion I take a look on here I do what I can when I get minutes spare to help out.
Sorry mate.As I said I am very thankful that you did take a look.I wasnt implying that you had nothing else to do I was just saying as since there are a lot of people looking for Jaspers it may have been in your best interest to look at them as soon as you got the delivery in.Sorry again
LOL!
That's you right at the back of the list if they do come in!
As soon as the Jasper stock appears I am sure we shall advise :)
*cough*first dibs to us long serving hexites*cough* :DQuote:

;) Seriously though as soon as we can confirm we have the revised console I am sure we shall let you know.
lol cant argue with you there matey! although my girlfriend seems to think she has got me a jasper for christmas. she says the manufacturing date is oct 2008 and the lot number is higher than 8031 although she couldnt see that voltage thing would those two numbers confirm a jasper?Quote:

*COUGH!* surely newbies first, as a kinda "welcome to Scan" thing ;P
I have to commend you on being arsed about this, most if not all other retailers really wouldnt bother. Well done guys!
No, the only way to be 100% sure without opening the box is the ,1A on the far left through the top hole of the box: http://www.anandtech.com/gadgets/sho...spx?i=3472&p=2Quote:

Well I ended up getting another at weekend, lot 843X but its a falcon. My plan is to return it after 6-8 months "faulty" and hopefully get it replaced with a jasper.
personally im just going to leave it until the new years, unless something good comes up (someone selling confirmed jaspers) a friend of mine is a manager in gamestation he showed me their newest arcade, (it came in two days ago) and that was also a falcon, he told me that he had heard that their supplier had a backlog of xboxes to get though first before the newer ones would become available for the store to order so i would think its a pretty safe bet to assume its a similar situation elsewhere,
saying that though the consoles that we all can get hold of arent far off being jaspers are they so it wont be too long :)
*edit* stew's gonna slate me for my grammar in this post lol :p
What one needs is the specific SKU from Microsoft, and for Jasper Arcade models (plug your own hard drive on) it is XGX-00023.
Don't know what the new SKU for Jasper "pro" models is yet, or Elites, but apparently that is the SKU for Jasper Arcade in the UK. Maybe Scan could get some of these in? Bound to fly off the shelves! I've read that some guy pre-ordered on from a John Lewis store with their stock-code 82610123, their old Falcon Arcade stock-code is 82610120.
If Scan can get Jasper Arcade in before Xmas, I'll certainly order one immediately.
what he said :)Quote:

Best thing to do is phone or call around your local blockbusters and ask if they have any stock listed on there computer as Arcade Xbox 360 (Second release). If they do it is a case of them finding them out. As well as the above code it will NOT have 'memory unit' written on the box directly below where it say 256MB MO. It only says 'Memory'. Check top and sides of the box, it will also scan on the till as Arcade Xbox 360 (Second release). Good luck
good info there mate thanx !!Quote:

if anyones interested blockbuster ascot has 3 more jaspers :p
Can confirm Blockbuster have got XGX-00023 in, that they are referring to them as Xbox 360 Arcade Console (2nd Release), and they are Jaspers; apparently John Lewis is similar (as above) with XGX-00023 but I haven't seen any reports of stock yet.
Scan if you want to sell a few Jasper Arcades, some last minute stock will fly off your shelves!
We don't know yet if UK will get a new SKU for Pro and Elite models, but I think Scan should find out.
Diddo, just checked the one I ordered from Amazon which arrived last week and is also made in Octoboer but has 14.2 ampsQuote:

We'll post information as soon as we have any.
Scan I think you are a bit late with this,seems Block Buster have had Jaspers in for a wee while.Although I still havnt managed to get hold of one yet.So just keep the rest of us posted.Cheers.
Blockbuster - "Seem" to have them but I don't think this is a confirmed fact yet ?
Plenty of confirmed reports hereQuote:

Yep.Like I said Scan are WAAAY to late on these Jaspers.
We can't specifically order " Jasper " stock
Thread locked - We will update the site as when or if we do get Jasper stock
