http://www.renchi.com ... Their language/communication seems really good. However, their 360 hardware is asian not Japanese (great for uk voltage - no idea about Austrailia). As for software they are very accurate about which region a game will be, but can take 2-3 weeks to get hold of software from japan if its not in stock.

Mine came from Play-Asia around February or so. I had ordered a Jasper, but received a Falcon - and was offered a decent amount of store credit for the mixup.

It's been long enough now that it would be hard -not- to end up with a Jasper, especially if you order the Arcade (just make sure the specifications do NOT include the memory unit - Jasper Arcade units have internal memory instead).

As I said in the last post, the way to see if an Arcade unit is advertised as a Jasper is to check the included storage. Jaspers use 256mb of memory built-in, whereas older revisions will ship with a 256mb memory unit (card).

Play-Asia's only 360 Arcade listing advertises the built-in memory, so it should definitely be a Jasper.

Unfortunately there's no real way that I know of to positively identify Pro/Elite 360s as Jasper or whatnot. The usual methods that can be used with US consoles doesn't work with JP stock since the serial number label on the console isn't visible from the outside over there.
