Life on the Spot! Life and Leisure in Doha, Qatar

The sticker outside the box clearly indicated it's a Falcon. TEAM FDOU, LOT 741 and 175W 

I've got it! Shane, if you're reading, go head to PC One in Salwa Road/Bin Nasr and get your Xbox 360 Falcon. And thanks for telling me the sell Xboxes there.

We woke up early this morning to go to Corniche and buy some ribs for tomorrow's guests. After buying, we went to Corniche to have a small picnic. The actual picnic consisted of some milk, chips and Hopia. Xiane rode her bike, played tag and walked to see men fishing. It was still early so I suggested that we go pick some of our stuff from Amazon at Aramex. Luckily, those shipment coming from Dubai were already available for pickup so we got all our Christmas toys on Chritmas Eve. Well, some would be sent home for our nieces but it's still good to have them on Christmas right?

Anyway, since a commenter posted that PC One was selling Xbox 360s, we went straight to PC One since it was on the same street as Aramex is. The place was huge but we were not really able to look at every nook and cranny as I went straight to where the Xboxes were. On the top shelf, I saw several Xbox Elites and was assuming they were the same FDOU Lot 730 something as with those from Virgin. But lo and behold! A closer look, it showed TEAM FDOU, LOT 741, and 175W. The latter was the sure way of telling it's a Falcon without opening it. The only catch, they only give you 3 months warranty (UPDATE: They offer 1 year warranty!). After thinking for 5 minutes and weighing waiting getting a 360 at Virgin (not sure if they'll have Falcons) with a year warranty vis-a-vis getting it NOW with 3 months warranty, I chose the latter. Upon getting home, I looked at the manufacture date and it says 2007- 10-8. That's a manufacture of October 8.

Oh, PC One also gave me a 500W auto converter for free. They must have thought that the Xbox I'm buying was 110V. But I told them that it was 220V but it didn't seem to matter. It is even written outside the box. Who am I to complain of a freebie?

So there, if you wanto get a Xbox 360 Falcon chip, head to PC One and get the Elite system!
