Need Advice: Should I get a Falcon (hackable) or a Jasper (non-hackable) ?
Hello Everyone! Hope everyone's doing good! OK, so I have this issue thats been on my mind for a few days now, and I would really like to get your advice ...

For the past few months, I have been planning to buy an Xbox 360 ... In specific, I have had my eye set on the Jasper Xbox 360, which I had been planning to buy when it comes out...

But now I'm hearing that Jasper comes with the new Liteon DVD Drives, which are un-hackable as of now ..

I on the other hand, want a hackable Xbox 360... I wont have really minded to wait for a few months for these Liteons to get hacked, but from what I hear, the new Liteons are complete unhackable .. That there is a significant possibility that there might never be a hack for these Liteon drives !

The problem with the Falcon's is that although the CPU is 65nm, the GPU (the main component which causes RROD) is still 90nm ... Although the rate of RROD occurring is a lot lesser for the Falcon series than its predecessors, its still there nonetheless ... Jasper would mostly probably have completely sealed off any possibility of any RRODs, with its 65nm CPU and GPU !

Keeping the above trade off in mind, what would you recommend ...

1) That I wait it out, and get a Jasper when a hack for its Liteon drives comes along (even if it does come along at all!!) ..
2) Just buy a Falcon, and pray that nothing happens to it .. :P

Please help me out people, and thanx for your advice ...

LiteOn drives are everywhere.

If hacking the 360 is so important to you then get a Falcon. I am also waiting for the Jasper but I dont hack the 360 firmware.

Wouldn't this go under the category of the Illegal stuff we aren't supposed to talk about?

If you care about firmware flashing get a Falcon. But Falcons come with BenQ drives which aren't very reliable for reading burned games. Game loading times are really slow on GTA 4. Get an older console that has a Samsung drive, they are the best.

A falcon should be fine. I was so worried about the rrod when I first got my 360 for Christmas. I've had a Falcon 360 since December though and it's pretty much August now and I have yet to have a single problem with it. It's worked perfectly like it's supposed too.
