my 360 is already whisper quiet. :dunno:

 

certain models of DVD rom (BenQ) are loud as shit. Also, the fans bearings go after a while.

 

You getting a slim drew?

 

Naw. Only if I have to replace the current Arcade / Halo adapter. The current machine runs at room temperature though. Even after Halo hell (5+ hours a night), this machine is in great shape. Doesn't even get hot.



Now, if there's some crazy hacking break through on the slims, done deal.

 

Has anyone seen one of these on the shelves yet?

 

might pick one up and give my current 360 to the gf.

 

I see no reason to buy this.

This is why I'm promoting the current Arcade consoles, not the new Elite.

 

Holy shit! Are you serious??!?! Come one microsoft.

What are the specs on the new machine? (CPU, GPU, etc...)

 

The old setup had separate chipsets for the CPU / GPU. Microsoft thought they'd be able to get BOTH on the same chip dye now ... and well ... kaboom.

I believe it's a 65nm dual purpose chip on the "Valhalla" motherboard.
