XBox 360 Elite specs...(ATTN: doobiwan)

[feo]

Seeing as the launch is just over 2 weeks away, I have a few questions. Will the launch units have:

-the added heatsink?
-the 65nm (Falcon) chip?
-the Benq (quieter) drive?

 

[rsachoc]

I'll take a stab, nothing definitive though.

1) Most likely
2) I think this is happening in September, so they may take awhile to filter through to here
3) Most likely (not sure about this one though)

 

[doobiwan]

I think rsachoc is pretty much on the money.

There's no guarantee's I'm afraid, but there is a warranty

Yeeesss, I'm learning. I'm also in the same boat, also want the 360 with the 65nm chip, better cooling and quieter drive.

I'm waiting until theres a way to tell based on the serial number, then I'll buy one.

See here, some speculation abound.

The latest rumour is that the new Xbox 360's have a HDMI port AND 65nm chipsets...

This may be the easiest way of getting your hands on one... However not all Elite's have 65nm chips even though they have HDMI ports..

 

[doobiwan]

Apparently the Falcon 360's will be specifically marked as "With HDMI", which will then be how you tell which one you're getting.

Will the price (for the non elite HDMI enabled pro) stay the same?

Yep, until price cuts come our way.

 

[doobiwan]

Apparently (update: confirmed) they're out in the US already.
