computerandvideogames.com — New Xbox 360 models have been spotted using upgraded components, said to make the infamous Red Ring of Death a thing of the past. The newest 360s are fitted with new 'Jasper' motherboards, says a report on Joey Gadget, as well as a new and improved graphics chip.

Hey. M$, you're a few years too late. My Xbox has already broken twice.

The real question is will or can MS learn from their mistakes? It's going to be even more important for their next console.

While this is true I don't think they will send you back an older version. For example if you bought a launch day console you would only get back a similar console with no HDMI. Think about it this way, if you bought the arcade edition and if you knew how to RROD your console, then what is holding you back from trying to get an upgraded version for free?

FFS would people start checking their sources, this is inaccurate! Japser is NOT out, 0831 has been confirmed as falcon. Not only computerandvideogames.com has done this, also cnet, engadget and many more, amateurs ripping each other articles.

I just got mine back and it has a build date of July 08. That doesn't sounds like a refurbed system to me. There is not team or lot number on the back of the box and I am not about to open it up.... is there any other way to tell?

@cthelis - your pretty convinced that Live and the 360 are not as good as the PSN or 360, so i'll leave you to your opinion. I have both and i do enjoy both very much. It just so happens that in my opinion $1/week on the best multiplayer CONSOLE, i repeat CONSOLE, is pretty cheap. Until PS3 can match the whole Live experience then I do think the 1/week seems reasonable. Stop using PC as your argument, the PS3 and 360 are CONSOLE. Hence, in the CONSOLE war, the 360 "in my opinion" obliterates the PS3 as long as you have 1/week. Even if you can't afford the 1/week service, I still think that the 360 is far superior in its ability to produce higher pixel count, framerate, anti aliasing, color and others. And yes i have HDMI on both systems.
