Well...In an unconstrained fiscal environment, sure, a redesigned Xbox 360 would be great, but I would much rather prefer that M$ dedicate as much of the hardware funds to upgrading the console, rather than aesthetics.
I'd like to see a combined CPU/GPU to reduce heat and power consumption
More HDD options or provide a Card slot for flash memory. This would add questionable cost to the console, so perhaps the better option would be to instantiate the use of Portable HDD into XBL. I understand the desire to ensure paid content is stored on the internal drive, but c’mon…free stuff?
M$ can’t really boost the internals of the console, since they need to ensure parity with older consoles, so if you give developers more options by boosting cache memory for example, they will push the games out of the range of older consoles…but with that said, M$ CAN do things, like stick a DVD drive that uses less power for example.
At its core, M$ is a software company, and they need to work to stream-line the OS for the console to improve its efficiency in getting things accomplished.
