Hello,

If anyone has bought a 360 lately send me a pm and i can hook you up with a freebie.

Trog did. Do I get a spotters prize?

oo I did. Do you need a copy of the receipt or what mate? Or perhaps I should just PM you :S

I think domino should be banned unless he explains his hookup connect. right now.

f*** off ctd

you f*** off

nuh-uh. i called it first.

you can both f*** off imo

Friend at work just got one a few weeks ago, what does he need to get freebies? Just a receipt?

Since my Xbox has RROD'ed, I'm thinking about buying an arcade... where is the best place to buy - anyone know cheapest prices around? Are they all $400?

JB was the cheapest when I bought mine, although that was back in december :/

why can't you just get MS to fix it mongie?

its modded.

Cheapest I've seen was Xbox Arcade at Target for $339 a few months ago

They sold out quick though

I've just got a US region one... in the US... does that count?

All those target ones were factory refurbished ones. IE ones that RROD and just got a patch..

Finding one of the new falcon arcades is very hard at the moment, been trying to find one for a few weeks.

Nah they weren't I got one from Chermside Target, brand new falcon board. (75007 last 5 digits) 2007, week 50, group 7 despite having 223W on the box the power supply was only 175W (aparently quite common for that factory). The 3 left when I got mine were all from the same batch. But I have heard rumour that Target can/do, so it doesn't ghurt to ask (pretty sure they are required to tell you if you ask).

um, I when looked it wasn't real hard. JB HiFi, bigW, Myer and Target at Chermside all had them. The Elites and pro's didn't look to be Falcons tho. Didn't even look in the 2 EBs or the Gametraders there.

For those (who like me before i googled) have NFI about what the falcon boards these guys are talking about are, here is a good article about it.

Yeah obes, about 6 weeks ago or so there were plenty of falcon based Arcades around but MS found another stock of old arcades and are sending them out to everyone.

The problem is they have new lot numbers on them, I picked one up from kmart 2 weeks ago going, sweet, lot number 813, i'm set.

Yeah not so, manufacture date was back in 06 and on a 223W power supply. I then went hunting and all the EB's in the city were only getting in old stock, non-falcons. And the same with eb's around south/east side. i tried every store in carindale, cannon hill and most of the city places and they were all non-falcons, but all very recent shipments.

I'm hoping sometime this week to get a chance to go back and see if they've got new stock in.

The 4 things to check to make sure you get a falcon. Has HDMI, a lot number greater than 800, a manufacture date in 2008, and most important, a Power supply rating of 175 on the supply it self, NOT on the box, most of the boxes are still printing with 223.

Actually its lot 743 and greater.

are there any disadvantages *COUGH* *COUGH* to the new kit?
