    Hi guys well basically it. I'm going to the us on holidays. And I'm going to do some shopping. I was thinking on getting an xbox 360 elite falcon revision But some people say to wait till august jasper is coming out. Does the falcon have those heat problems as well. ? I want to take advantage of this trip and buyit, cause where I live it's way more expensive. What would you guys do :confused:

    Anything past the initial launch set will be better. I made it two years with my launch 360 till it had problems that weren't covered by the three ring warrenty. Anyway you'll get an even better deal since there is going to be a price drop here in early July. I saw go for it if it is much more expensive in your country.

    To the OP WAIT for the price drop which is rumored to be $50 and take place starting this Monday. ;)

    Also next week starting 7/13 Target is giving away a $25 GC with the purchase of a 360. :cool:

    You're one of the lucky few. :p

    Rod the 50$ price drop will be for the elite model as well, I'm really doubting on buying the falcon cause of the overheating prob.. but I'm gonna be in the US before japser is coming out.. so I'm behind the wall and a sword.

    I believe so. The leaked Kmart ad I saw showed the 20GB model priced for $299. Typically Microsoft drops the price across the board. :)
