MyFaceIsOnFire said:That's a little confusing. So the offer is only good if you pre-ordered? Or does this mean if I get lucky and they get one in by 7/18 that isn't preordered I could trade in my xbox?
Wow thanks for posting this. Makes me feel a lot better about my reserved unit and being able to successfully trade in when it comes in. I'm the first reservation at my gamestopRBH said:Gamestop makes an announcement about the 360 trade-in deal:

If you are a Halo fan, can't go wrong with ODST. It goes for around $25 new in the buy/sell/trade thread and you get both the campaign and all of the Halo 3 maps on the mp disc.The S-Word said:i have a secret source here in atlanta that's getting me this system in about 2 hours. Ive been so far gone from xbox since mine red-ringed in dec 07, what games from then on should i look out for?
for reference, i played pretty much all of them up until that point. i beat the holy hell out of halo 3, is ODST worth getting or should i wait for reach?
one more question, does that old HD cable that came with the xbox premium even have a port on the new xbox? i have an hdmi cable if not
Sniper McBlaze said:Maybe I should get a 120gb Elite for cheap now instead? How is the noise level on those? My old Xbox 360 sounds like a jet plane even when I'm browsing menues.
Jtyettis said:Installed everything on my Jasper and it was no where close to that. You should notice a pretty good difference between your old 360 and a Jasper. Obviously not as quiet as the 360 S however.
Beer Monkey said:Mileage varies with Jaspers. Some use fans with REALLY fucking noisy bearings. I mean the cheapest, loudest chinese fans that you could possibly find.
Others are pretty quiet.
My old Jasper's fans (I installed all discs) made it the loudest thing in my rack. My new 360 S is the quietest. Even my DirecTV DVR is louder.
AzBat said:Has nobody tried booting the new system without a hard drive yet? Come on, this is GAF? LOL
Valkyr Junkie said:They did on Giant Bomb. The thing boots and acts 100% normal if you remove the HDD and the WiFi unit. Nothing has really changed aside from the form factor.
AzBat said:Cool. Is that on their podcast or a review?

Thaedolus said:Still waiting on my pre-order. I really was not expecting such supply problems, I pre-ordered a week ago on Monday... :\
sn1pes said:I reserved one on the 19th. My Gamestop says next shipment is July 9 unless MS delays.
Thaedolus said:Wow, that's not what the dude told me up front. I called today and the one who answered sounded pretty annoyed, so I bet they're getting rather the same question a lot and have no real answer

Ain't that neato.
BigNastyCurve said:Jaspers are damn quiet. Especially if you use the HD install option (as others have already said). Just want to confirm that you really can't go wrong in the noise department with a Jasper.
Can't wait for someone to buy a £5 usb wifi stick and convert the socket somehow to allow it to work, oh if only it was that easy and cheap.AzBat said:Found it. Thanks...

ChoklitReign said:Am I screwed for the GS promotion if I haven't pre-ordered, or can I be really lucky and reserve one when the next shipment arrives? How much are Wi-Fi adapters and 120GB HDDs on eBay?

Ewww, why do even you touch that?-PXG- said:My shit's covered in finger prints and tiny scratches already
I hate the gloss coating or whatever it uses, my pc case front has fingerprints on it every day, the back of my chrome 2g touch has so many hairline scratches that it just looks awful now, only time I really like the gloss look is when it's not a dark colour, I guess the DSlite does it right.-PXG- said:My shit's covered in finger prints and tiny scratches already
I had a chance to test out 5 recently produced Jasper units(mar 2010 - april 2010 produced jaspers) and 1 older jasper(Oct 2009).AgentOtaku said:Sorry but this is bullshit. Even Jaspers are pretty damn noisy due to their cheap small fans emitting a constant highpitched whine.
Quick sound comparision to give you an idea
So yeah, I've already ordered my 360 Slim...

All of them had dc brushless fans and made that headache inducing high-pitched whine noise. They weren't any quieter than my older falcon unit which also has dc brushless fans.
I truly envy those who aren't bothered by such high-pitched whine noise.
