Xbox 360 Elite? Falcon Chip? Price Drop?

Hello,

I owned a 360 for the first 8 moths it was out and sold it to get a new high end computer. I now want to buy a 360 again because of the great games out now and the lineup this fall.

I have a few questions that I am hoping you guys can answer.

First off is anyone aware of the 360 elite having the 3 rings of death or any other problems?

Is the falcon chip in the 360 Elite or any new 360's yet? if not, when?

Also I wanted to get the 360 Elite this month, Is there going to be a price drop soon or is that all rumors? does anybody know any reliable sources?

Thanks

well same question here about the xbox360 elite... whats the difference?

and i live in mexico any release date of the elite soon in latinoamerica?
