How to find a 'FALCON' Xbox 360 without opening the box...

[pindiboy]

Man they don't import they smuggle it from afghanistan with as low price as possible. they mode it and sell us as expensive as possible. more then in america this sucks we don't have any warranty no after sales service and still they charge much higher. Only thing favourble to us is CHEAP GAMES

hahaha humans cant survive in afghanistan but a bunch of xbox 360s can? cool im going to afghanistan to get one! though what if we can find some in peshawars famous smuggled goods market

But you people know that if your 360 craps there ain't no chance of taking it back. Its a 50-50 chance that the merchandise will run.

Can anybody make some guess when will falcon be available(in how many months time) in lahore as i want to buy xbox 360.

 

[Conscript]

It is available in Dubai. So hopefully within a month falcon will be here. If you keep your eyes peeled you'll find it no doubt.

 

[SpEeDyZ]

hopefully in a month or 2

Peshawars bara market is filled with smuggled goods everything garments, electronics etc everything is smuggled via afghanistan. xbox 360 is small thing huge Tv set of 50'' are being smuggled daily i know bcoz in our area there are lots of afghanis who smuggle for living most of them smuggle fake chinese garment to pakistan Raja bazar they have whole sale shops there and they have really really big mansion type houses in our area. apart from that my uncle also reside in peshawar he sometimes talk about smuggling afghanis. few years back i also heard some afghan refuges selling laptops with price of just 500 RS. WHY? BCOZ THEY NEVER KNEW WHAT IT IS THEY THOUGHT ITS JUST A TOY FOR KIDS.

Its true. My uncle was considering getting one from Peshawar. But he didn't want to take the risk.

falcon mobo

these are non halo edition
i searched the internet and heres my query for falcon boards

manufacturing date: from august 2007

lot no: 0741 am not sure about this lot
i will start from 0742 to 0746.

power supply :175 watts
few of 203 watts are reported falcons just go for 175w coz they are confirmed .

team : fdou
teams with fdou are confirmed falcons
not too may cson are reported falcon but are few go for fdou.

dvd should be benq

hdmi port

falcon mobo has 2 green inductors horizontal on the left
zephyr mobo has 3 green inductors vertical on the left

how to look inside the board without opening the console well use a flashlight from the right side of the faceplates through the holes not from the hdd side from the other side.

anandtech.com

zephyr=

falcon

edit: ALL the above detail should match in order to get a falcon .
you have to have an eye on the power supply that should be 175watts coz of the smaller 65nm dies less heat in meaning less power so there u go a 175 watts less power than the 203 watts .lot of xbox fans got their consoles and written 203 watts on the box but got a 175w brick just lucky enough so just watch out for it or ull end up with a freaking zephyr mobo if ur unlucky as i may say ,people on the net also are telling they got elite with falcon boards with the above details if u buy elite just make sure u buy a benq drive one it will be useless with a hitachi 79k drive coz they are not modified at the moment benq drives are consoles should be asian in order to play pirated games in pk.

some pics from slashgear.com and other sites

the old cpu heatsink was brown the new one is white and has a additional heatsink with a pipe connected to the gpu heatsink strange may be they are sharing the heat lol.

EDIT:::
According to shayan falcon 65nm asian versions will not be available for 4 or 5 months in pk
and searching then internet i cant even find myself a falcon asian posted by anybody
so this means we gotta wait for infectus2 chip (region code change)
then there will be no problems buying a falcon pal or ntsc uc
and we need to wait for somebody to test on it .
after this chip comes we could buy elites pal ntsc uc yippi kayey mo fo and change the region code.

stay in touch i might be editing the post thankyou
so people lets hunt one shall we .

regards
rehan.

Nice work there Babloo.

 

[yasirk]

Great Job babloo... apparently we ll have the arcade in the next 5-10 days in karachi and i shall be taking your advice.. now to google on how to differentiate btween the 2 drives!

 

[babloo]

before buying just make sure they are asian .

 

[yasirk]

Arent there 2 drives for arcade : Hitachi (unmoddable) AND BenQ

Both are asian no?

 

[babloo]

sorry i didnt explain it well and sorry mods to go off topic theres nothing like asian hitachi or asian benq dvd rom

the console version should be asian

the dvd should be benq coz its just recently been hacked

newer version of hitachi 79k is not hacked the old ones are 78k

all new consoles will get new drives , u can only know the version of the drive by opening the console .

just make sure its asian version console and the drive is benq coz u dont want be in a mess

just search the forums to know which is which drive it is posted by shayan sheraz.

 

[Conscript]

Just run an NTSC-J game then and there. Simple.

 

[SpEeDyZ]

Great Job Babloo u sure have a good knowledge of 360

 

[TheGoldenTouch]

Most of the pal arcade has benq drive and in usa most of them are hitachi 79fk, that's why i might get pal arcade from gameconnection and about region coding well infetus will solve this problem, why should i wait for asian

 

[yasirk]

Apparently the arcade we are getting here in karachi soon will be ASIAN and PRE Modded.. so all the doubts gone now and tho it will take 8-10 days it is a big disadvantage
