That serial number equals a build date of week 37, 2007. The final "07" in the serial indicates plant #7 as the point of manufacture, which is the new factory (I think it's in China) that Microsoft brought online sometime after the console's initial introduction. Typically, the serial number shown online is the machine's original serial number, not the date of refurbishment, so if I had to guess I'd say that you're getting a new one. Congrats!

I just got my serial number changed online as well... I'm curious to find out if I am getting a new console or a refurb... Judging from what I've seen on other sites It seems I may be getting a new one. The last 5 digits are 73707... What do you think?
