1. here is a comparison between the first revision of the chips inside the X360 and the ones in Falcon:

there is also a difference in the GPU die size which suggests that they already had a die shrink between 90nm and 65nm.

2. ... so this means everyone that already purchased an 360, then later upgraded to the Elite version. Will have to now buy a brand new console just to stay current??

The 360 is only about 2 years old?? WTF!!!!!!! Am I the only one who thinks this is a fawkin stupid idea?

"Stay current?" What the hell does that mean? You don't need to buy a new console because of a die shrink on the chips, unless you care a lot about saving 5 bucks on your power bill.

3. They should have moved to a 65nm process two years ago.

Anyway, I imagine the reduced heat will go a long way to extending the consoles life from its current 2-3 year lifespan.

4. hey guys, i don't care the money
but if my 360 just meets the rrod, i'll find someone to kill~
