Xbox 360 Falcon Chip The Xbox's Savior???

Do you all think that the chip is going to be the savior for the 360, and more so for those getting the Elite?

It's just that Mircosoft isn't guranteeing that this will solve everything. I mean the problems could still continue, you gotta admit there is a chance of these failures staying with the machine.

I don't want to think this way but you just can't go around thinking " Yup with the new 65nm chip my 360 will never break"

i never heard of it, when does it become available?Jamie_1987

Its just a revision to the console, it wont look any different. It should just be cheaper to make and less likely to break.

my 360 has started to act a little wacky the past few weeks and I will probably be sending it in for repair, so will ms put one of these new chips in my xbox to fix it?

I can't believe how they make a perfect system that was the original Xbox, mine never broke. And it's still purring like a kitten now. Then they make the 360 and problems galore.

So the big thing is maybe this chip will work, and maybe it won't. So we're all given a 50/50 chance.

its not 50/50, the problem has to do with the GPU not getting enough cooling. The smaller sized chips will allow more air to circulate, and allow for more heatsinks in the system. This issue is similar to the early ps1 systems, except in those systems the optical drive was overheating and getting misaligned. This is why some people were able to turn the ps1 upside down or sideways and it would work. The ps1 fault wasnt as much an instant death either.

But do you think it's worth the money for me to shell out $480 on the Elite when it gets the chip? I just don't want my money to go down the drain, on something that could bust later?

hows the chip gonna make the 360 cheaper?justbeingdesi

its not, just cheaper for M$ to make.

BTW Punjabi by chance?

And also... i sent my console in for repair and are the going to be putting in the new chip?
