Inside of the Xbox 360: (Shine a light inside so you can see)

1. Stand the Xbox 360 on its side (hard drive side down) and shine the flashlight in through the holes in the grey plastic. What you're looking for is the side of the CPU heatsink. The older, non-falcon, Xbox 360s had a heatpipe running through the CPU's heatsink - if you see a copper heatpipe then you've got an older console. If, however, you see no copper heatpipe then you've got one with the new CPU heatsink, potentially a falcon.


2.The final test is, once more, a flashlight test. This time, instead of looking for the copper heatpipe you're counting the number of inductors on the motherboard near the edge you're peering in. Three green inductors means you've got an older motherboard, two means you've got a new Falcon board.

I thought all 360's have this now?
Every store in the town I live in don't have any older 360's in stock anywhere.

It could just be where I live though.

Coming back to the actual topic of this thread, I have a question.

I'm going to buy a 360 in a few days' time. I've went to a few shops, and none of them has 360s with Falcon chipsets. As I don't want to spend money on any games/accessories in the near future (a month-two), because I have some other things to pay for, I'd like to buy a console with a game / games included. And here's my dilemma: should I buy a non-Falcon console with Call of Duty 4 included, or - for the same price, which in the shitty country of Poland is about $550 - a Falcon which I've found on Polish eBay without any games? Is Falcon really better and more profitable?

Thanks.
