All you need to do is look at the UPC symbol and see the 175W, which is the wattage for the newer power supply. This confirms that a Falcon chip is inside and not the Zephyr, which is an older model.

After hunting for the past 2 days for a falcon 360 and for 175w on the box I settled on one with a born on date of 11-13-07 opened her up and she had a 175w power supply inside but labeled 203w on the box. Just FYI

I was at Circuit City and noticed the same thing on a Halo Xbox.

I was at BestBuy to pick up a new 360 and they had the Halo 3 Console on sale for 349 and it included a copy of the Halo 3 LE

None of the systems had the new chipset though. So I picked up the last Pro Bundle they had and it has the new chipset.
