Just curious... I figure that 2009 would be the year to atleast announce a smaller, sleeker Xbox 360. One that would be better against RRODs and more energy efficient. Any rumors or anything about it? Thanks...

its fine how it is and making it smaller only means the heat is confined into a much smaller space

what kind of logic is that? obviously if they made a newer, smaller model, they'd improve on how they run the XBOX, so they'd try to fix the heating problem.

anyway, the main reason I asked is because after a while, consoles tend to get smaller when it gets remodeled (example: PS2, DS, PSP, Gameboy, etc.). It's probably inevitable, I just want to know if there's been any rumors or talks about it.

The xbox may be called a console, but it is really simply a computer. A computer with a mobo, hard drive, and DVD rom... Those pieces will remain the same size. It wouldn't make sense to make the xbox smaller. If anything, make the xbox larger for more space and fans.

Lol...haha. You think microsoft cares about its customers that much? But yeah they probaly will make a smaller console when tech increases and a couple years go by (about 3yrs or more)...and even then they will probaly increase the price...I just hope they don't make em with Red Light. And yeh the xbox is like a computer with a box thrown over it and it usually suffers from same problems as computers...Honestly they should improve the x360 though...its been what? 2-3yrs now...doesn't feel like it but it has.

As much as it would be nice to make it smaller it isnt possible. The fact that the DS and PsP got smaller is they werent realiant on cooling devices like the 360 and Ps3 im not sure about the Wii

If you made an xbox smaller heat would get trapped easier because of smaller spaces also solving a heat problem might sound easy but how would that get accomplished? As technology gets better and the parts get smaller maybe but thats along ways away.

If you look at todays video cards running crysis there 12 inches long also like a previous poster said its basically a computer. But to answer your question no there hasnt been any rumors or talks ....yet.

Anyways but with todays economy just be glad the consoles are still being sold and not being cut for price cuts, are technology boom is going to slow down alot so we might not even see an xbox 720 or whatever for another console life span (typical 4-5 years) so probably not for 7 years.

Lol ok my wall of text ends.

I got the hd-dvd thing not too long ago, to watch tokyo drift in hd, and I kept thinking to myself.....You know, it'd look awesome if the actual 360 was this size. If the 360 ever got that small, that would look pretty sleek. Now the 360 being as small as the slim ps2? Don't bet on it. *yeah yeah. said competetor system. sue me.*
