They'd have to pay me 400 points to download that....and more if they wanted me to play it.

Have all premium 360s got the new cpu thingy that makes it less likely to break? I'm tempted by this tantalising deal, is there any way to tell if it has the newer chipsets or not?

Well the serial number and stuff on the box but buying online you're not gonna know.

There is no guarantee but any console bought now should almost definitely have the new CPU, especially if bought from a retailer with a high stock turnover like Play.

If it's any help, I bought a 360 from Littlewood's a month ago and that had the new CPU.

Saying that though even if it does have the new CPU it doesn't mean it's not going to RRoD, all the change has done is lessened the chance, not fixed the issue.

Not exactly buying the game outright but I took advantage of the FHM subscription offer... The Club and Condemned 2 free for taking out a years sub. Still waiting for the titles to ship though :?

Same here. I'm expecting them no later than the weekend, now that Condemned 2 is out. I'm probably expecting too much.
