5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful review, August 23, 2009
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Xbox 360 Arcade (Video Game)
By the title, I mean no offense to other reviewers, but when I was looking to purchase a new console, there was several questions not answered in the reviews. So, hopefully this can help someone, maybe a parent looking to buy for their child, a new console.

You can glance at my reviews and see that I'm completely lost in the last generation. I've held onto my PS2 like it was my security blanket. I'm not completely impressed with the current generation consoles trying to sell me on things that have no interest to me. I don't care about a DVD player of any kind. Blu-Ray, HD, phooey, I'm here for the games. Don't care about the online games. I go back to the Sega Dreamcast era of online console gaming. I remember the countless hours spent on dial-up access playing Phantasy Star Online. Of course, we dealt with the Gameshark modders that made weapons ten times better than any of us had found in the game, players who PK'd each other and stole your rare items. So, I have no...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars It is Jasper, hope it works., July 6, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Xbox 360 Arcade (Video Game)
::EDIT; Even though this is still recorded for me as the version I purchased, and it has the "Newest" sticker, the descriptor no longer includes the 512MB line on it. I don't know if this means Amazon is recycling the older units in now for this order set, if they are doing that then that means my review cannot be relied upon and you may end up with a older chip. If they stick that 512MB label back on though then you are good to go.::

I am not going to go into the merits of a 360 ownership on this review. Rather this is geared for the gamer who has a orphaned HDD at home looking for a new 360 to be connected to, but they are afraid until they know they are going to get a Jasper.

After my fourth 360 died, this time out of warranty, I promised myself that I would never buy another one again while glaring hatefully at the number of games coming out in the next few months.

Friends had mentioned the mythical Jasper chip to me but due...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars For the RRoD Xbox 360 owner, August 9, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Xbox 360 Arcade (Video Game)
Picked up the Xbox 360 Arcade version from Walmart today after my original 06 Xbox 360 went down with it's 3rd RRoD last week! I already had many Xbox 360 games and I was at the point should I get the piece of garbage fixed again, or a playstation 3 and start over with games or get this new jasper chip Xbox 360 since I have a library of 360 games. Well with the Arcade version and the updated jasper chip I went with the new Arcade Xbox 360. MS had to do something because I and all the other RRoD owners weren't going to fork over dough to get the same garbage again. This Arcade version with the Jasper chip I feel was definitely made and released for the RRoD (red Ring of Death) Xbox 360 owners.
I mean we already have all the extra stuff from our RRoD 360 system so just give us the console that won't die on us and that's what MS hopefully did.
It doesn't come with a Hard Drive but I used my HD from the RRoD Xbox 360 system and I install my HD before start up and it worked...Read more
