falcon 65nm chip?

i was just wondering when this chip was coming out for the 360 and how much better is it than the old one, because i have heard alot about it. im going to be getting a 360 in a while and i was wondering if i should wait for this chip to come out before i buy one. also i was just wondering how much a MS warranty costs for a 360?

Supposedly some or all Halo 3 Edition 360s have the 65nm chip.

Is it better? No. Why would it be?

It does the same job as the last chip. Its only slightly smaller.

Microsoft already gives you a warranty. Their extended warranties are useless. Microsoft's turnaround time is a Month+

So if you want to be without an Xbox for a month plus, then depend on Microsoft. Otherwise get a store warranty. ;)

Its actually a 1 year warranty on everything and a 3 years warranty on RROD!

So are you sayin that only Elite and Halo editions might have the Falcon?Necromancer5

Who the hell every mentioned the Elite?

The rumors I heard were that the 65 nm chip was indeed supposed to run cooler than the previous chip that was in the 360. Of course, this same set of rumors maintained the idea that overheating was one of the main reasons for the failure of so many of these sexy, off-white consoles that we all know and love. I also heard the rumor that some or all of the Halo 3 360s had the newer chip in them, didn't hear whether or not any other models did yet or when they would.

I couldn't help but get the halo 3 360, and just to be safe I bought the "NYKO intercooler EX" to help keep the console cool and (at least in my mind) help prolongits life. I don't know how this will pan out in the long term, but for the past two months things have worked flawlessly. Also, after playing Gears of War single player for over an hour, my current setup keeps my console surprisingly cool. It gets no warmer than the laptop on which I'm typing this entry. I don't know if this will help you, but I don't think you could go wrong with the halo3 or elite consoles.

Anyone out there had a bad experience yet with either of these models?

The RROD is cause because of an excess of heat on the GPU. With the 65nm cpu, its not going to solve the problem, but the overall temperature produced by the console will be lower, so it will help.
