Xbox 360 Arcade
The Xbox 36o. What to say? This is an amazing gaming console. I’ve had a few run-ins with Microsoft and the Xbox 360 before, but somehow I felt this experience was different. I feel that with the Jasper chipset (The one in all the new Xbox 260 Arcades) the Redmond based Mega-Corporation may have finally gotten it right.
Let’s start off with the basics.
1st: This version of the Xbox 360 Arcade, the one with the Jasper Chipset, overheats a lot less. I got a good 12 hours in before my first freeze, where I had to restart and everything worked fine again. That’s the only time I’ve had to restart it.
2nd: The new Arcades are very quiet. The disc drives are a significant amount less noisy.
3rd: The new Arcades use quite a bit less power than their older counterparts. Even the external power supply is noticeably smaller.
