"I would say go with the Elite, not only cuz of the bigger hard drive but it looks much better than the Halo 3 special edition. Also like SpartanX360v2 said above, you will want to wait for the Falcon Xbox360s with the 65 nm chips."

Got this from a forum.

Does anyone know when these are going to be buyable.

I am going to buy a Xbox 360 very soon, I am debating between the Halo3 or elite version. And I need to know if that 65mm technology is already in either version or when it will be.

plz to help

that news has been out for a while, but i'm not sure of a particular date or anything like that, but i would assume in the not so distant future, bump in case anyone else knows

i thought from what we read that most of the new premiums with the hdmi outputs also had the chips

10/8/2007 10:03:25 PM

Wait until the end of the month, buy a Premium with the two free games.

^^no, the new premiums with HDMI have revised heatsinks. These should help in theory, but those boxes are still RRoD-prone.

As of now, the only 360's confirmed to be equipped w/the new chips are SOME (only the very latest) of the Halo3 360's.

The new 2-game bundle Arcade and Pro 360's should hopefully have the revised chips. Hopefully those turn out to fix the problem, although I'm skeptical.

So now they are saying you're going to have to wait until the 2008 holiday season for a new 65nm cpu and graphics chip.

^^and then in 2009 you can buy the next Xbox they put out and they'll completely quit supporting 360 on the spot. yay!

^wouldn't you, if your product had a 1 in 3 failure rate?

10/10/2007 1:28:19 PM

If only 4 months had passed since then.

IF ONLY!

Hey, at least they are failing because people are actually playing them alot.

Unlike the PS3. HA!
