Didn't see a thread on this yet:

Microsoft unveils redesigned Xbox 360

Apparently has built in Wi-Fi, too.

Ttt

sweet so when the one i have takes a shit (again) i can buy one with wifi built in!!

sweet.

Looks cool. Wish it had a blu-ray in it though. A web browser would be nice too.

 

[BlwnSn8k]

Nice! It's about time they got the wi-fi built in. The hard drive size is nice too. I have been one of the lucky ones, as my Xbox has yet to fail at all...lol
Maybe I need to make something "happen" to it.

 

[Gallows]

Smaller and lighter for shipping when they crap out.

not having built in blue ray is a deal breaker for me... I love my PS3 for that reason. Its an all in one machine.

+1 on that.

I also had 3 Xbox 360s crap out on me. I LOVE my PS3, I'll never buy another Xbox.

Do these things still have the RROD issues? No blu-ray, no care.

Anything Elite and up should not RROD, the Elite has a cooler processor and bigger heatsink, and the premium released after that (i forget the codename) has an even cooler running processor than the elite (like 63nm or smaller).

the 360 will likely not ever have a BR player. However you can download them for free if you have half a brain and just use the 360 as a media center extender. Havent tried it yet but im sure since W7 media center has no issues running blue ray rips (h.264/mkv files) right out of the box (or so what my buddy says, im still on vista so i have to mod it for WMC to read those), a 360 connected to a W7 machine should be good to go.

Not to mention in a Netflix world, who still pays for physical storage? Most these damn movies you spend $15-20 and watch them once. waste of money IMO, rather spend $10/mo and stream or rent and send it back. Pays for itself if you watch 1 movie a month.

Falcon was good (65nm CPU) but
then came Jasper (65nm CPU and GPU) WAY better and quieter unit.

Wonder if this is a Valhalla unit (combined CPU/GPU) which was rumoured a while ago.

This is an unboxing video of the new 360 with better description of the system.

there ya go. :banana:

i used to know more about this sorta stuff, now my brains turned to mush when it comes to knowing the ins and outs of everything.

 

[jmy2469]

I'll pick one up,my older one just died on me. Built in wireless is nice,wish the power supply was built in also.

 

[Boomer v3.8]

,wish the power supply was built in also.

Would heat up too much.
RROD for sure on that one.

 

[THE_STIG]

Pretty cool

 

[WireEater]

Pretty cool, but not worth buying another XBOX. I'm still kicking the first gen with no problems.

 

[RedFord96]

Took them long enough to redesign it. The original 360 is a piece of crap.

 

[antiv6]

i sold my 20gb xbox today, im picking this one up soon, gamestop said they would get them Friday! Its supposed to be whisper quiet which will be nice since my other xbox is like a jet plane in here

 

[FordMustangLove]

my 20gig is still kicking, sadly I am forced to buy a bigger hd if i want anymore map packs lol
