There will be more defective 360's than sold ones by then!! lol

hd dvd dead means 360 is dead, fire sale on hd add ons anyone? Sony won the big boys console war without breaking a sweat (or 33% of their consoles)RROD. A new xbox will be out before 2010 but with Microsofts reputation for shoddy products who will buy? Wii for casual gamers, PS3 for an all round hi-def games machine and media center, with these on offer why buy a lump of badly made noisy M$ plastic that you have to pay to use online and might not last through the opening cutscene of a game .

It's really time for a product refresh like an Xbox 4 or something. The graphics could use updating, the thing runs too loud, too hot, and could really use a blu ray drive as well.

The Xbox 360 will not likely be reliable until they release the "Jasper" version, which has the cooler GPU reduced down to 65nm in September 2008. In addition, the 360 is long overdue for a price reduction (of significant size). The 360's reliability reputation is so bad worldwide that I am not sure if MS can salvage the 360's reliability reputation. MS is losing so much money on broken 360's that this could be the reason why MS cannot afford to drop the price.

Sony will also reduce the size of the GPU in the PS3 down to 65nm later this year. When this happens, you can expect Sony to reduce the price as well.
