I can't believe they named the new Xbox 'Valhalla'.

It's going to completely kill the meaning of the word 'Valhalla'. People are always going to assume it's talking about an Xbox and not about the place where brave vikings go. :x I guess it's a cool name, couldn't possibly be any cooler, but I greatly respect the Norse religion >.>

Old Valhalla

New Vallhalla

Well... Okay then... :?

What are we supposed to discuss?

Well, it could be worse, they could think about nutters in tights, spiked platemail andblack-and-white facepaint playing what would be perfectly fine music if the vocals were relatively human-sounding. But...yeah...what's wrong with the name? One of the less reliable models was called the Falcon, I'm sure falcons worldwide must have taken offense to that.

So its called the Mircosoft Valhalla? Or Xbox Valhalla?

Valhalla is the codename for its motherboard. The new xbox's name is officially "Xbox 360 S" but is just being called Xbox 360 since its the only model in production now. I wish people would do a quick 15 second check before posting useless threads like this one.

it looks more like transformer to me :?

info : xbox 360 code names

The original Xbox 360 motherboard called the Xenon 90nm CPU and GPU.

the Next one was Zephyr with HDMI that was introduced with the Xbox 360 Elite,

After that Falcon with a cooler 65 nm CPU.

Next Jasper with 65 nm CPU and 65 nm GPU.

Opus: Opus project is a Revision of "Falcon" motherboard designed to fit in a Xenon case but without an HDMI port, 90 nm GPU 65 nm CPU.

Valhalla: 65nm CPU and 65nm GPU on a unified super chip.

Thanks for that info, now I know I have the very first 360 model with the Xenon, no wonder my 360 is like a spaceheater lol.

I would love to get the new 360 it looks really nice to me I could use the 250gb and HDMI considering my old model 360 only has 20gb and no HDMI it would be nice to upgrade.
