December 13th, 2008.

Nice job on the PS3 Controller Ben.

I’m the individual who contacted you several months ago with the concept of using an xbox 360 controller shell for a PS3 controller. It’s absolutely beautiful and far nicer looking than I had ever expected. Ever thought of implanting rapid fire as an additional feature ( see Rapid Fire Demo xbox 360 on You Tube ). I have a Falcon unit and I got it at Best Buy Canada. The power bar is 170 Watts and the amps is 14.2 . There were no Jasper models as of September 2008 in Canada. I searched numerous Best Buy and Future Shops in Ottawa, Toronto and Quebec City at that time. The Falcon is quieter than the previous model and no red rings so far. The 120GB black Elite has the Falcon boards. Again; congradulations on your masterpiece. Lil Miss Nobody

Ben, I updated that photo pool. I did look at the lot number but I didn’t write it down or take pictures… I didn’t even realize what I had after all the hoopla on xbox blogs and forums.

I’ll get a picture of the label on the box and upload it after I get off work.

Pai, yeah I guess putting a 175W PSU on a unit that doesn’t need it wouldn’t hurt… who knows maybe the unit I saw the other day WAS a Jasper.

Can you get a close-up of the back info sticker?

I have been hearing that it’s being found just in Arcades first. If I find one I intend to open it all the way, right down to the GPU so we can all see it.

Were there any other markings on the box, such as the 256 meg memory mentioned a different way?

Also what was the lot #? Best Buy had a lot of newer arcades but they were all from September.

Here’s my jasper arcade console with 256 onboard memory. It was manufactured on 10/14: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7591768@N05/3076334978/in/photostream/

Do you concur with other’s opinions that another way to identify boxed Xboxes as Jasper units is the 12.1A power consumption labeling? Any thoughts on whether Elite Jasper units will come out alongside or after Premium bundles are released to the wild (as they appear to be)? Oh yeah Costco rocks especially when you are having a bunch of people over and need party food.

Hossrex, Wal-Mart health care can’t be too far in the future.

Speaking of that, I finally visited a Costco yesterday… my God, the deals!
