Don't forget that this will be model 1.1 or whatever so those who are curious want to see what's changed.

The reduced transistor size should reduce the power the console draws and the heat it produces.

There are a couple of possible things MS COULD do resulting from the reduced heat/power need:
- make the console more silent by using a different cooling solution that isn't as efficient but less loud (this could possibly reduce the weigh of the console, too, by using smaller heatsinks)
- maybe they could build the power brick into the console itself (something which I would really like to see because I often take my console to a friend's place wink.gif)
- or they could make the console smaller

And even if MS changes nothing there should be less heat problems for everybody with the new consoles (whenver they'll hit the market ^^) and lower power bills to pay. wink.gif

It was Mid 2007 anyway uhh.gif

Also why don't they try and make a slim 360, that would entice me so much tongue.gif

Hmm, I can't decide if I want to get a new 360 RIGHT NOW up at MicroCenter for $299 (after $100 Mail-in-Rebate) or just wait for this cooler-running one...hmmm....

The heating issues is/was caused by the GPU and never the CPU, as far as i know the cpu runs much more cooler than the gpu, i don't think the cpu was the problem to start off with, it was the gpu giving people headaches remember??

They should shrink the gpu while they're at it too  biggrin.gif
Would help keep things muchhhh cooler in long gaming sessions.
They should just fix the bad solder joints/ whatever because thats the main reason for console deaths.

Maybe time to see how things pan out and add a HDMI port too ?  ph34r.gif

too bad this change will make bugger-all difference to anyone. yeah it will use less power and be a bit cooler, but it will not be by any difference that any one can tell. its a bit of a non-event really

Oh snap, I was going to buy a 360 this January. Don't think I could wait to mid 2005... Is it really that big of a difference?

I don't think you could either, considering that it's almost 2 yrs past "2005." smile.gif
