Prior to the release of the Xbox 360 Slim, the Xbox 360 console was notoriously known for having severe heat-related problems. This resulted in the infamous red ring of death (RROD) plaguing across all versions of the platform. Finally, Microsoft released a revision using a chip they called "Jasper" to address and resolve the oven-like temperatures. If you prefer the look of the classic Xbox 360 Elite, you ensure the Elite version is a Jasper chip prior to purchasing. Confirming if the console is using a Jasper chip is as simple as looking at the sticker on the back of the console.
