Maybe a redisign is a good idea.
Not to stimulate sales like Sony did but to finally put to bed the RRoD troubles.
With a redesigned console people will think they've worked on it even if they haven't. Its all about public perception and the public are morons.

But then they should have done that a year ago.

From what I've read over the past year from multiple sources the RRoD rate for the newest consoles (since what.. jasper chips?) is supposed to be less than 4%.  Considering no one knows what the original % really was, it would be hard to beleive 4%... still.. RRoD is so 2008.  I don't think the public perception is as bad as you think it is.  Oh, and a new xbox would rock.  I don't know if it needs to be "slim," but something less noisey would be nice.

Yeah, thats why I said they probably should have done it a year ago. RRoD perception still lingers but like you said not that bad and to be honest mainly fanboy fodder or brought up in gaming articles, neither of which would get back to the general console buying public.
