The RROD nonsense ended when the Falcon launched...A year ago. The problem is that fanboy acusations die hard. Falcons rarely RROD more than a PS3 or Wii would encounter their hardware failures. Jasper went even further, and so will the Slim. At any rate, I do agree cooling should be improved. I think the Slim will still use the standard X360 HDDs. That's a big money maker for Microsoft, and changing the way they work would be dumb (and hurt compatability between old and new systems). The HDDs could still work if you re-designed the X360 in a way that the HDD could be fitted on the top of a unit (if the system was horizontal) versus the side configuration, opposite the vents on the other side. You could streamline this very easily, I think, as the HDD docking bay could be streamlined even more so into the overall design of a X360. Hopefully the slim leads to more sales. I think we could see the slim debut at a $169 or $179 price point August 2009.

No its not that fanboy that is hard to kill it's the one your showing. The RRODing has continued and sure it has been down from the early high percentage but doesn't mean its only teh same level as PS3 or Wii. Hell its not even close. We all admit its gotten better but you are the one being a fanboy if you are saying its on PS3 or Wii level.
Now of course any can get better and I'm sure 360's hardware issues will get better as it did with the Falcon. As for the slim sounds like a good idea and shows MS's need to continue to do things like this. I don't know how effective it would be but it's worth a shot. But seems to be still a rumor anyways so I'll wait for official confirmation.
