The 65nm processor is indeed going to generate less heat than the 90nm proecssor, but that isn't an indication of not getting RROD ever again. The heatsinks that were added to the new consoles will do a lot more to prevent RROD than just the processor change by itself..

Either way, if your console is currently working, there's hardly any reason to jump and buy the Halo edition..

They are probably going to wait until all of the older models have been sold before MS makes an announcement.

Yeah but the soldering comes loose because the 360 would get soo hot and the mother board would warp, but nnow we dont have to worry about this. i just traded in my ps3 for a halo 360 and im so glad i did it now lol

Umm... I heard this news a while back, mabye 2 weeks ago, from my knowledge, the 65nm chip is supposed to arrive some time in December, but here's the catch, there's no way to tell wheater to tell you have the 65nm chip, now if you mod your 360 to test the results and find that it's good for you, mabye, just mabye you won't need that warrenty you just voided.

Actually it had to do with the amount of heat. The heat from the 90nm CPU caused the mobo to warp and chips to pop. This is what lead to the RROD.

The Elites at least have the heat sink to help with this problem. And the HDMI cable, sweet black finish,and extra 100GB are worth it to me (I have like 70GB left, and I've only had one for a month). I find that having a wide array of demos keeps my game spending down, which in the end leaves me with more cash.

He has a valid point. The only reason keeping me back from a 360 is waiting for a un-****ed version.

Those links don't say anything. Should I buy a premium or not? Should I wait?

If you're going to wait for a new unit, might as well wait for one with all the issues fixed vs just 1... thats assuming it fixes anything.

I don't really care about noise, aslong as my 360 won't break. Jeez microsoft, I still have a old working n64! I want/expect/demand this thing to last me. (And why shouldn't I)?

Does anyone have a clue when this will be fixed in preium consoles? I think the Halo edition looks like ****, and I don't see why I should payan extra $50 for a color I don't like (What is up with microsoft charging more for certian colors, like for controllers)?

I really want to buy a 360, but I EXPECT it, to not ****ing break! (WHY SHOULDN'T WE?)

Yes, it will fix the current hardware issues. Refer to my previous post for info. Anyways, I'd say to wait a month and they'll have Premiums with the 65nm CPU at stores. Make sure you get a manufacturers date and it should have something by the barcode that reads "Falcon" or hints at it.

Are you sure it will fix ALL RROD problems that are happening on the other systems? And also while were talking about the flaws, do the psu/dvd drive break alot on it? Or just rarely? THe main problem is the RROD no?

No there isn't any information on the label about it being a Falcon.

In the kotaku link, the story got pushed down a few pages because of newer stories. Here's a link to the thread in the 360 forums and here's a link to the story on kotaku.
