I wouldn't like to change profiles or something. Because, if a slim 360 is out, I'm gettin' it!

 *Gia sou re filE, paizeis COD4?

 

I was thinking exactly the same, the old 360 owners we may have some problems...

"A more dramatic and perhaps visible change will happen next year: TSMC plans to begin producing the Valhalla chip, which will be the foundation of the mid-cycle refresh of the Xbox 360, thus called ‘Xbox 2.5’ or simply ‘Xbox 540’ (360+180), in fall of 2009. We learned that this new chip is apparently much more than a die-shrink and end up as a system-on-a-chip design. This change is likely to enable to redesign the Xbox 360 casing and go towards a slim-design, much like what Sony did with the Gen1 and Gen2 PS2. We believe that TSMC will use a 45 nm process for this Multi-Chip-Module package (CPU+GPU+eDRAM)."

The article also mentions that Microsoft is looking for a "better, cheaper" cooling system and that the new GPU system is already in production.


i highly doubt they will make a casing redesign, mabey subtle changes but overall the 360 outer design is ok in my opinion, it will be more on the iniards bit where the changes will be.

If its truly a slim model then this accompanied by the release of something like cry on or infinite undiscovery could be the thing that pushes the 360 over the 1 million mark in japan.

A slim 360 would actually be really cool, if MS had introduced last year it could've killed PS3 off.

Uhh, the DDR quasi-fitness games were on 360 before Wii Fit was.

 And Youself Fitness was out on Xbox long before Wii Fit was ever mentioned.

And a model re-design happens in more than just games...Or do you not know that?



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I really do think fall '09 is too late.
They need it before the holiday season of '08 and '09.

So you won't acknowledge the X-mote is a rip-off of the Wiimote?

And did the original xbox have a redesign? nope.
