Honestly in my opinion, if your asking the question of "should i get a jtag" or "whats the best kind of jtag" then you shouldnt get a jtag. People need to research Jtags before they even consider purchacing one. Jtags are good for lobbies, but the potential of the system is limitless. Example: Jtags can read unsigned code, meaning you can copy a game to your hdd or external hdd ( i use a 2 terabyte and own over 120 games) and play them without a disk, you can also mod the files, dload them off the internet and play them, or simply dload a game to see if you would want to invest in purchacing the game for a reg console. You can do so much with a Jtag than just do lobbies, i personally am a hard core gamer and enjoy geting any game i want and playing/modding it. The possibilities are limitless. As for the question "what Jtag should i get" i am posting a chart of the pros and cons of each console below.

Xenon: Everybody says Xenon is the sh*t and reccomend new jtaggers to purchace one.. DONT. Xenon's were the first manufactured 360 and are prone to errors. Statisitically speaking, xenons are the worst console to purchace. Reason being is the %55 fauilure rate. Xenons are widely know in the jtagging world and are popular because the take both types of kv's. If you are seriousally considering buying a xenon i would reccommend a 12v fan and a xclamp modification. Xenons are famous for rrod but if you are comfortable with a %55 chance of failure then be my guest.

Zephyr: Zepher is the protage of Xenon, newer, hdmi connections and less chance of failure. Zephyr's have a %30 chance of rrod and a %10 chance of e79. I would reccommend this console over xenon any day. Zephyr's only take type 2 kv's.

Falcon: Falcon's are great systems, kinda on the verge of being older but have less failure rates. Falcon's also take type 2 kv's and are good for extended gaming sessions. The bigest down fall to a falcon is once again one of the E Errors, %11 to be exact.

Jasper: Jasper's are one of the best systems you can buy, althouth the failure rate is unknown by me, my experience with handling over 50 jaspers is a good one. Out of 50 sold Jaspers i have only had a issue with one, issue being the e74. Jasper is the newer model of 360's and would be one of my top choices.

Opus: Opus consoles are newer and extremely hard to jtag, so getting one fixed wouldnt be easy. I would not reccommend this system to a beginner to the jtag community, but would reccommend one to a veteran. Opus are similar to falcons, and were manufactured along side them, but with a slightly less chance of hardware issues.


I hope this post cleared alot of questions beginners to TTG might have, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
