Falcon xbox360

How can I tell if my unit is a falcon?

Look at the power supply. 175w = Falcon.

Jaspers may come with 175w power adapters too. Early Falcons could be in the same boat with Zephyr power adapters too.
Check the 12v amps rating on the console (near the id/barcode).

16.5A - Zephyr
14.2A - Falcon
12.1A - Jasper

wait what?

I just checked mine.. it's 16.5A on the 12v rail, but a 175w powerbrick.

So am I just an early adopter of the Falcon console?

That's... umm... odd.

I have the same thing for my Falcon unit. It's 16.5a and has a 175w powerbrick. However! I have the Falcon power connector on the 360 and if you were to look into the 360 with a flashlight, you can see that the innards are different from a Zephyr build. This is all going off the information from Anandtech, but I think they're a pretty reliable information source.

Well I guess early adopters of each version of console could also have the wrong 12v Amp rating on their consoles.
