More Reliable Xbox 360: Coming This Fall?


If you've been waiting to buy a Xbox 360, you might want to wait a little bit longer, say this fall?

It looks like Microsoft will have there newest Xbox 360 out which is code named 'Falcon', on the streets this fall. So what does 'Falcon' have? Well it will have a 65-nanometer chips instead of the 90-nanometer which are in current 360's. The 65-nanometer chips will produce less heat, thus the unit will be more reliable than the 90-nanometer consoles.

And they will come with HDMI ports!!!

But don't be fooled by the HDMI ports that you see on the 360's that are out now. They will still have the 90-nanometer chips, and as of right now, there is no way to tell if you're getting the 65-nanometer chip Xbox. And Microsoft has no intention of telling anyone which chips are in which machine. Thanks Microsoft!

So the longer you wait, the more likely you'll pick up the newer chipset Xbox 360.

Of course they won't tell, then the few informed people out there would never buy the ones with the older chip. /rolleyes
