What are my chances of getting a Jasper ...

I'm planning on getting a 360 arcade from Dixons online, it could be old stock but I was just wondering if theres a good chance of me getting the latest revision.
Also is it worth getting the Premium version even if I will never pay to go online?
I was thinking of getting the elite just for its cool black colour but since turnover is low for them theres a good chance I'll end up with an old model.

I'm wondering the same about the new 360 I'm getting for Christmas (U.S.). It's already been purchased; it's the new 60 GB model. Anyone know if it'll have a Jasper chip or not?What are my chances of getting a Jasper ...

[/QUOTE]you will have to wait and see, if it boots up straight to NXE then chances are it's a jasper.
All I want for xmas... is a RROD proof 360..Even if it means buying the HDD version, so if I bought the premium to play games off the HDD and did the thermal paste/X clamp fix, would that mean it would be indestructable?
