Re: Chip Redesign
From what I understand, the redesigned chip will be smaller (cheaper, built on a 65 nm process rather than 90) and likely faster (although games won't take advantage of that or else old systems would not work well with new games). The new 360 hardware will basically be the finished version that, I imagine, a lot of people would prefer over the somewhat hot/buggy version out right now. |

Yup, it's a good thing. There were about 12 or so revisions for the PS2. |

said by MysticGogeta :I don't like in the article saying they are redesigning chips thats what worries me. Thats good in the redesign, thats what is causing the ring of death so much. If you read the article it is to RUN COLDER(the chip) then its currect chips running. Who knows the new chips might run FASTER. |

Yes. Also, you may be able to get them to do a price adjustment and credit back the difference in price. If you plan on returning it though, dont open it or they will charge you a 15% restocking fee.
