Is there any way to tell if the system has the new cooler processor before you buy the system? I'm torn between a 360 and PS3. The 3 rings of death still concerns me. Any insight would be appreciated.
There's also instructions on how to look inside the 360 without opening it to determine if you have the 65nm (Falcon) version.How to find a Falcon model 360 in stores
Based on the info in this thread, A Falcon model Xbox 360 MUST BE:
1. Lot #0734 (Halo 3) or later (all SKUs)
2. Manufactured on or after 8/24/07(An HDMI Premium manufactured on 8/19 has been reported as 65nm.)
3. Team FDOU (Other teams may be Falcon as well, but none have been reported)
