If it has an HDMI port then yes, otherwise no (With the exception to the Halo 3 Xboxs).

But they've been out for a year now so there is like a 99% chance you would get one (assuming its not refurbished or used)

if you buy a new one your guaranteed to get a falcon, unless you get the further upgraded jasper which has yet to be confirmed to be on shelves as of now.

As far as I know, the Jasper motherboard 360s are already on store shelves.

I got a Falcon cause I bought my 360 back at the end of July and it was built in June.

Also you could potentially get a Opus 360, which has No HDMI port but has the 65nm CPU.

and Jasper if you don't know, has the 65nm CPU AND 65nm GPU.

There is another one in the far future called Valhalla, which has the CPU and GPU fused into one chip. (Like the later model PS2 Slims)

I also read somewhere, Xenon 360s have the 30-33% failure rate, Xypher 360s (Originally in the Elites, basically Xenon with a HDMI port, so most likely the same failure rate as Xenon) Falcon motherboards have a 10-11% failure rate, which I will also assume to be the same for Opus.

There are no details on Jasper cause it has only been starting to appear on store shelves the past few weeks.
