Last time I sent one back it said that for a week and a half, then in the space of a day it said dispatched to customer. Mind you I had to wait another week for it to appear after that..

the falcon chipset is the new improved chipset (more efficent)
Project ‘Falcon’ as it’s known internally aims to reduce the size of the main console components such as CPU & GPU from the standard 90-nanometer process down to 65-nanometer. Smaller components mean less power is required to drive the console which has the benefit of producing less heat.

Had mine since launch day. To be honest, I can see the originals going wrong every six months or so like they have so far. My warranty expires in Apr 09, so I'll just get a newer Falcon version and hope it lasts longer!

if it's any console-ation (!), my PS3 is collecting dust due to lack of games. I would've loved to have got stuck into Bully after its recent release on Xbox360, but it never appeared for PS3.

Just took my launch day 360 Premium to Gamestation and traded it in . . . .
For a nice new Falcon 65nm Elite
Left if with them whilst the data transfers and will pick it up at lunchtime. Hopefully be a little more reliable than the last one

Not deal of the century I'm afraid, but £125 for the premium when trading in.
You're supposed to get Halo 3 or PGR4 free (both of which I have), but luckily both were out of stock so they knocked off the trade-in price of £16 too, which I was happy enough with.
So £259.99 - £125 - £16 = £118.99
Worth it for me to get HDMI, a Falcon CPU, optical dongle and 120Gb HDD. Plus a bit more reliability and extra warranty
Had to do a little arm twisting to get them to transfer the data, but they did it for me, so saves the complications.
