umm, yeah free.
lazy ass 
Well thats news to me thx. I could try to find a new core, and swap my old HDD onto itā¦for hdmiā¦
No stores have them, a lot of websites continually say they are out of stock, I got pissed off and just bought an Elite
ok i work at circuit city and i just wanted to let u know, i dont know if its like this everywhere but we never really get the core systems anymore in stock, we have a bunch of premium xboxās mixed together, we still have old one with out hdmi port. so if you want it make sure you ask and look at the box first. and hdmi are actually really expensive. i just see prices from circuit city but our cheapest hdmi from next tech (circuit city shit) is like $50 for 4 feet
I would wait for the current stock to depleteā¦ this way you dont end up with a zephyr board and a 90nm chip like everyone else will. Late november early december and the falcon boards should be in full swing. Yes there are some floating around now, but its still a mixed bag.
get the elite man
I new Premiums have the 65nm chip. I have one.
get the premium and let microsoft store all those extra gigs instead of spending $100 more for an extra 100GBs
nopeā¦ not all new premiums have that falcon board and chipā¦ its a very mixed bagā¦ they are trying to get rid of old xbox stock and this is the perfect time of seasonā¦ Some people have been lucky enough to get them, but so far NO ELITES, some prems, and the most are comming in the halo 3 model. At first people thought it had to do with lot number and team and manufacture date, but there have been people who get a zephyr board out of lot for example 737 team fdou with a date of 9/22/07ā¦ they are just trying to get rid of old parts.
it will say what board right on the box:
The only sure way to tell if you got the 65nm chip and falcon board is to shine a flashlight through the side.
the launch board had 3 circular inductors standing upright
the zephyr had 3 laying down
pic of zephyr and launch
and the falcon has 2 laying down.

I still dont buy in to all this hype that this is going to be the fix for the overheating issuesā¦ it has nothing to do with the CPU, its the GPU that is causing all the issuesā¦ Its overheating and coming off the board. But i guess in a few months we will see if these new chips and boards are going to make a difference or not.
Very very cool info Supraman, i will check mine out then with what you posted and see whatās up!
