You should try a different forum for 'non-golf-related' questions. You have little chance of getting the best answer from a golf forum.

Xbox 360 Elite
The Xbox 360 Elite is the second most expensive variation of the console. It includes a 120 GB hard drive and a matte black finish. The Elite retail package also includes a controller and headset that match the system's black finish.[27] The initial release price was $479.99 USD,[28] C$549.99,[28] £299.99, and AU$729.95. The Elite was released in North America on April 29, 2007,[29] Europe on August 24, 2007, and Australia on August 30, 2007. Early Elite models shipped using the Zephyr motherboard, though later models used the Falcon 65 nm chipset instead.[citation needed] These Elites (and other Xbox 360 models using the Falcon) can be identified from earlier versions by a re-designed power connector and a power supply rated to 175 W. As of 2009, Elite models using the Jasper chipset have become available. These can also be identified by their power supply, which is rated at 150W and has a 12.1A 12v rail. Holiday 2008 consoles were bundled with Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures and Kung Fu Panda.[24] The Elite's price tag was cut from $449 to $399 on September 4, 2008.[15][16] It currently sells at $299.99 USD.

Gamestop has a spring bundle (not sure if the bundle is sold elsewhere) that has Halo ODST and Forza III, that one should have the latest chipset in it.

Hi

I think the jasper is the latest and it comes with the Elite. Just make sure it has HDMI (which all Elites have) and you should be good to go.

As for prices, Dell.com had them for $270 after a $30 mail in rebate but that was a few months back, I don't know if they still have them on that special or not.

All of the new bundled Xbox's have the Jasper Chip (newest chipset). I just bought one from the Holiday bundle (came with Pure and Lego Batman). You can tell if an Xbox has this chipset by looking at the power requirements by the serial number through the little window in the box. The Jasper runs off a current of 12.1A, and it says this on the little product tag. The old Falcon Chipset will say 14.2 and the 1st generation xbox 360's ran odd 16.2A.
