Was just wondering what the odds were of getting a Jasper Xbox360 was if purchased in the near future.

    Scroll down to just above the comments for instructions. Essentially before you buy, look at the cut-out window that shows the 360's serial number. You should be able to see the power requirements. If it says 12V====12,1A and not 12V====14,2A, you are looking at a Jasper 360.

    Also, you have a better chance of finding one if you shop for Arcade units, as they sell the fastest (and therefore must be replaced more often with fresh factory stock).

    My zombie survival life simulator They Don't Sleep is out now on Steam if you want to check it out.

    Or, you could buy a Red Elite. They're all Jaspers, apparently.
