Guys I don't have the system yet but my main focus is to get the Elite around October. Mostly because I want that new chip set inside my console. However with the announcement about the 45nm chip coming sometime in 2008. It got me to think should I get the 65nm chip or wait for the 45nm chip to come out. Keep in mind that I have patience and I am in no hurry to purchase the console.

But basically am I correct to assume that the 65nm chip will cool the system more, but the 45nm will be extra extra stronger in cooling it?

With that being said do you guys feel the 65nm chip will do the trick and fix the console. Or would the smart thing be to wait for that 45nm chip to come out?

Im just going to go ahead and get the one with the 65nm chip inside, and i think you will do the same thing, I don't think you can wait that long for a 360 all the way in the middle of 08, and if it breaks theres always the warranty....

Doesnt matter. Its not the CPU that overheats. Its the GPU.

And its being fixed with a better heatsink as we speak. All refurbished and new 360 should have the fix. If not they will fix it if it breaks down.

Why not just wait for the 0 nm chip. That way you would never have to worry about it, but then again, the 360 will be long out of production.

Ya my mouth is watering for these games that are gonna come out. It's gotten to the point that I need to carry a bucket with me lol.

This is good news as now it's pretty much official about the better heat sinks being put in. My friend and I are holding off on buying a 360 till we get that 65nm chip. But everyone is tired of all these crappy problems with the console, and once these new consoles start shipping all of us new 360 buyers will not experience any problems. Microsoft has to be sick and tired of getting so many defective consoles shipped to them. So it's in their best interest to get this all fixed up, as Imyself if I worked therewould be pretty annoyed to walk into the tech area and see thousands of faulty consoles.

And overall I know alot of you guys are gonna trade your current consoles in for the 65nm one. So I'm happy too that you gamers that have endured so much pain with this machine. Will now be able to stop worrying about your console breaking down. Now we will all finally be able to just enjoy the gaming experience, just like we did with the original Xbox 1 console.

This system will be problem free very soon!!!!
