It's at the end of the registration process, with all of the checkmarks. You can uncheck everything except the MS Points option.

With the "price drop" I think I'm finally going to grab a 360 this week.

How do I know if it has the new Falcon chip set and heat sink from the box? Has this really reduced the RROD problem?

Power supply. Too early to tell.

For Falcon, look online to check the lot numbers, I know supposedly over 7?? almost guarantees a falcon and most lots are over 800 now.

For reference, the console examined to have the new hardware was built on August 24, 2007 from team “FDOU” and lot number 734.

Or you could just look at the power supply. Search this thread, it's been asked recently. 175W I think.

power rating on the box is the easiest way, if it says 175w it's probably falcon-based (as said above)

Thanks. Anyone here have a Falcon RROD?

Word up! I got my 100 points, and my shitty car is in the showroom now.

The date the final code comes is 9/19.

Still not bad. That's $25 of points for free, despite the wait.

my falcon runs notably cooler than my previous 360s, so I'd say the chances of one of them giving you the RROD are ... less than with an earlier model (but are probably still up there)

also, too human demo is up on the marketplace

OH SHIT, TOO HUMAN DEMO.

Well fuck, not up in Japan, and downloadable by Gold Accounts only.
