Is there any clear cut way to finding out if a console at a retail store is a falcon merely by looking at something on the box such as a manufacture date or the serial?

eleites are the same as the premiums just in a black shell. there is nothing about them that makes them run any cooler. they still have the 90nm processor so they still have problems.

Actually they use the new Zephyr motherboard and they seem to perform better. They aren't falcons but they aren't the old models either. The only sure way of getting a Falcon is wait a little but, the old model is already discontinued and eventually they will run out of the old stock.

man i'm so sick and tired of microsoft. it's been rumored (with strong supporting cases) that microsoft ships MOST of it's products out at 49% functionality ... wtf is that. vista sucks the 360 sucks. wtf are they doing with our consoles. a friend of mine's xbox lasted under a month, NEVER moved it WHATSOEVER it laid on a glass entertainment system with very sufficient space and one day stopped reading any discs. so he sent that one in and what'd he get back 2 months later: SOMEBODY ELSE'S XBOX! it had accounts bound to the bloody thing! WTF! so he didn't even keep it he sent that piece back and is still waiting for a replacement.. another friend of mine had his xbox pooch out on reading discs so he sent that in 2 months ago, he calls microsoft weekly and EVERYTIME they say "we're not sure of the status on your console. please call back in 5-7 days". in addition, my xbox is screaming loud.. i should be receiving a coffin soon.. have they got monkeys repairing/building these f*cking things or what.
2.71->3.11->3.50(oops) *borrows 2.71 psp*->1.5*pandora* 3.50->1.5(yay!)->3.52m33/4->3.71m33/2->SEMIBRICK!! pandorafix=3.52m33\4 all on ta082 ;)

lol true that.. mine had 2 problems b4 i sent it back. first i got the 3 red light error, so i did the towel trick to fix it, it worked alright but i gotta wrap it up in a towel every month which was very annoying and i i got really pissed when it stopped reading games.. i donno wuts wrong with it, coz it reads DVD and movies fine :|
when i put in a game the video comes up saying
'this is a xbox game, put it in a xbox to continue!'
it is in a bloody xbox unless if its too dum to notice.

You guys need to get off your behind and go call MSFT up! They are putting in new technologies in their consoles(better heatsinks and I think better quality control these days) that your new one should NOT have any problems.
Slickroy the best way to fix your xbox is to actually CALL them up and USE your 3 year warranty. That's what it's there for!

You know what joint the club, I've had 11 broken ones too. My final one is working fine and I believe that they have finally gotten the issues down.

I'm guessing if it plays DVD movies the DVD drive is fine. You wont find the other answers here though, you posted in the wrong thread. Try posting in a more relevant thread or if you can't find one then make one. You will probably get more help that way.
Hope it helps, and hopefully you wont have to post here with a dead 360.

Wow guys you've been rele unlucky, i had a launch console and it hasn't broken, well it got RROD the day before halo 3. Wasn't the happyist bunny in the world, however 13 days later M$ had sent be a fixed 360 and i am now happyily playing halo 3! XD
Funny thing is the 360 was able to play GoW for nearly 20 hours straigth, but broken when i played kameo for 2 hours! Funny things huh? cause Kameo isn't the most CPU/GPU intesive game in the world!
Oh well good luck with all ur consols, i'm on my second and coming up to my 2 year as a 360 owner, not bad rele is it? 1 year 10months for a 360 life? Hoping the new heatsink on the MoBo will work liek a charm, not much heat comign from my 360 anyway now! Althought a funny noise from the powersupply pack thingy!

My PS3 killed my Xbox 360... I had my PS3 on all day and it was throwing heat back to my Xbox... I then turned my Xbox on and all i got was the red light! I got a new one through my warrenty now... Don't make the same mistake lol
