Re: Falcon vs Jasper

Is that £100 new? You can get a new arcade for £150 with 3 games and one of them is Forza 3 and that will be jasper. I would not buy a second hand xbox for £100 with their track record especially not an older one

Re: Falcon vs Jasper

If you just want the console then this is the best price by far.

ShopTo.Net - Xbox 360 Arcade Console with Sega Super Star Tennis - Microsoft Xbox 360

If you want a bundle with games then Amazon have good bundle deals on the Arcade and Elite.

I would say a brand new Jasper is worth £20 over a second hand Falcon any day of the week,

Re: Falcon vs Jasper

Then it isnt Jasper...

Go into town and have a look around, there are guides up on the forum that show you the difference between the new and old chipsets.

Re: Falcon vs Jasper

not too sure if thats a jasper or not


Xbox 360 Arcade Console + Sega Superstar Tennis

256MB Memory Unit
Wireless Controller
HDMI Connection
Component HD AV Cable (with SCART adaptor)
Free Xbox LIVE Silver Membership
1 Month Free trial of XBOX Live Gold
Family Settings

See it says 256mb unit but the jasper models have the 256mb built in so no unit.
I bought one in smyths toy store two weeks ago and it had the 256mb built into it.

Re: Falcon vs Jasper

I would personally say that the big online retailers like Shopto and Amazon you can be pretty much assured to get a Jasper now.

They have been out a over full year now.
