For the people wondering about whether or not an Xbox 360 slim would overheat, im tempted to call them fools but instead I will say this. A Radeon 4870 X2 has the internal dimensions of a PS2 slim and yet its power usage is higher than a launch PS3. Since the Xbox 360 Jasper console uses less than 80W and a slimline model would be less than 50W you're smoking crack if you think its going to overheat.

It could overheat if they don't bother to ventilate it properly. It's not like it was impossible to prevent the initial Xboxes from overheating, M$ just did not design it properly

A new xbox could fix the ventilation problems that caused the RRoD to theasper, true of that.

 

I will doubt that there will be a major overhaul, that would mean a new HD unless if somehows slims vertically rather then horizontally. Also it could have a slot-loading DVD player vs a tray, and maybe a smaller power brick. But I really doubt it, the 360 sems small enough for me and it is smaller then the original xbox, so I really doubt it. It its going to be redesigned, it would be more to be ease-of-use vs a overhaul.



Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil
