I'm hoping that as mine is one of the newer consoles (with HDMI port etc) it won't get the RRoD?
They're supposed to be built better, but time will tell.

The 360s made this year from January or so to september or october use the Falcon chip and output 175w, In the newer consoles they use the Jasper chip and output 150w which in turn reduces the 3rrod.
I read a lot about it while I was thinking of getting a 360, and what people generally said was that there is no proof that Jasper exists and it's just a rumor.
Word on the street is that the Jasper Xbox 360s (consoles with a smaller 65nm chipset) are finally hitting retail shelves and along with the benefits of running cooler, requiring less power, and being generally more "stable", we're finding out that Jaspers may also have additional storage capabilities.
According to a Xbox-Scene who recently got their mitts on a Jasper 360, the on board flash chip storage has been increased from 12MB to a whopping 256MB. If true, the additional built-in storage would allow Microsoft to pre-install the New Xbox Experience without requiring a memory card or HDD. We're also told that 214MB of the on board storage can be used for game saves and XBLA storage. Nice!
So far it appears that lot number 0842 from team FDOU or CSON and 0843 FDOU have been confirmed Jasper. Unfortunately, the somewhat confusing bit is that some of these same lot numbers have also been confirmed to be Falcon. Clearly, we are in the midst of a transition period, so there are still no guarantees based on external box markings. If you get a console labeled 12.1A on the 12V rail and comes with a 150W PSU, you can be assured that you have a Jasper-based console.
Is there any way of deleting a profile on the 360? or changing the default profile?
