Bought a new 360

I got the one with a HD, headset - thought it was a Pro but could be wrong I guess?

Pros are the Zephyr/Falcon consoles and all have HDMI. Premiums are the same in terms of bundled accessories, they're just the older non-HDMI Xenon machines.

In short, Pros can be Zephyr or Falcon.

Ah well, I take it they are still doing the 3 year warrenty for the RROD?

Not gonna spend my time worrying about something that may or many not happen. I'll deal with it as and when. <crosses fingers>
 
Surly pumping 203w though a console which only requires 175w can't be good for the unit. Pump up the watts on a cpu and it gets hotter even if it's not being clocked. I assume the 360 components will work the same way.
 
Mines brand spanking new. Bought from a certain high street catalogue store. It's got a HDMI output on the back so i know it's at least a Zephyr.

Look on the bottom of the power brick.

Look at the power brick.
If it says 175w its a Falcon, if it says 203w its an older version

what about the people with 700W+ psu in thier pc.. it will only use what it needs.. the 30 is the same way

:rolleyes:

You don't 'pump' watts anywhere, the watts is the current the device draws. My Falcon is still on my original 360's PSU and that's rated for 250 watts, it just means the PSU doesn't have to work so hard and therefore stays cooler.
 
Thought if the power brick was not 175w it wasnt a falcon , will have a look at mine and i am more pleased that the drive in mine doesnt seem to scratch disc's like the other 2 i had did .
