The Xbox 360 Jasper model has been talked about for a while, and has apparently been in circulation since the holidays. For those who don't know, the Jasper model runs using less power, and is supposed to run quieter with less of a chance of failure.
However, it's not labled on the front of the box that you're buying the version that won't have a catastrophic meltodown at the drop of a hat. Unfortunatley, you can't just rip open the box at retail to find out, but there are some things that can clue you in as to what you're getting. Newegg.com has an arcade bundle that touts "256 MB of internal storage". Now, if you know anything about the arcade, it usually doesn't have internal storage - a clue that this version is a Jasper.
Also, if you're unsure as to whether the 360 you got over the holidays is a Jasper... who am I kidding you've already sent that one away for repair. Let me start again... if you want to know if the box you just got from the repair center is a Jasper, just take a look at the above picture. If the back of your box looks like that, then congratulations, your 360 might not break as often.
