Hello,

I was wondering if teams FDOU and CSON differ a lot (if it's more reliable , no rrod or something like that). On xbox arcade (CSON) it says it uses 203w but inside there is falcon using 175w (strange), when on xbox premium (FDOU) it's falcon 175w on box. Does it make a bug difference? are both products "equal" in quality? what do you think ?

P.S. Sorry if the post is repeated, i didn't find one like that.

The "team" that packaged the 360 can be used to determing what kind of DVD drive is inside.

No one "team" is better than the other, but I've found team FDOU has more BENQ drives than CSON.

Just make sure you get the 175 watt power and a newer manufactured date, or else, you will get stuck with a non-Falcon chip, which runs a lot hotter.

If both are Falcons and 175W, then the same (maybe the drive is different), except for one had a HD and the other doesn't. I would buy the one with the HD myself, you need it for XBL pretty much. I tried to be cheap like you and go without one, but decided I needed it, plus it's cool for demos.

No problem. I just got a RROD Elite and bought a Falcon, the difference in heat is incredible. MS should upgrade all the non-Falcon RRODs to Falcons since it's obviously defective.

Man, i am just waiting for my time to come. I have two consoles, both non-falcon. And neither one has ever overheated on me. Well yet at least.
Probably helps that due to all of my electronics i keep the house at around 65 (F) degrees most of the time. I have soooooooo many things there that are running at the same time as far as electronics.

That's cool Seimy, no pun intended. Dude, that sux that you didn't get a Falcon because you bought ur second one late in the year right? You don't have to worry really because you can mod it if it breaks and get the replacement, whereas my A has to pay $30, which is fine.
