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 a date on the back that shows when the console was made, that's where you want to look.

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)
There's also instructions on how to look inside the 360 without opening it to determine if you have the 65nm (Falcon) version.

Just buy the Elite; it's a better deal anyway. Also, buying a PS3 doesn't guarantee you a problem-free system. My PS3 has been freezing up lately. Everytime they do a system update, mine performs worse.

I went ahead and took the plunge yesterday. I got the 360 Pro. It had a Lot # of 746 and was manufactured on 11-6-07. Its quite and its almost cold after several hours of play. Hopefully it will stay that way.
