Have to wait until I jump in


Recommended Posts

I was 'this' close to buying a 360 Pro... then I remembered I may as well wait the couple months for the CPU update.

That really sucks.

Any thoughts? Worth waiting for?

Worth it?

It's just gonna produce less heat - Not worth waiting MONTHS for such a small 'upgrade'

that and the fact that you're not granted to get a box with the 65mn processor, so, waiting for it is as useful as buying lotery tickets... :laugh: :rofl: :p

I know you can hook us up, brutha' man :laugh:

You could also wait for Xbox 720™ ( :ninja: )

But seriously, just go get your Premium Box now ...

Will someone PLEASE make a dam sticky on what this actually offers. So it will run cooler and maybe quieter?! So what? Sorry to sound harsh but it's getting on my ###### :(.

But it will also make it cheaper.

So you would be paying less (money) for more (technology)

You really think they drop the price because of lower manufacturing costs?

They wont drop until one of the other consoles drop..

Well, since the Wii is in a different league, Sony won't drop the prices for a long time! :p

Microsoft will drop the price, then know they need to keep a lead on Sony!

1) I doubt you're worried about how much heat the CPU is generating.

2) Sound shouldn't be an excuse since the DVD drive makes more noise than the fans.

3) It's not going to be faster.

4) Microsoft will probably use the reduction in production costs to their advantage rather than the consumers (I bet the 360's price won't change because of the chips, Microsoft will just make more money per console)

they haven't been making any money on the Xboxs since it launched and now they'll make $70 or so per console sold in profit. You really think they are ready to drop the price just when they are gonna make money from an Xbox finally? They have to recoup costs for all the xbox's sold before they will start thinking of lowering prices. The 360 prolly wont lower till next christmas since the PS3 is still 600 there's no real reason to lower it. The Wii isn't in the same league so they prolly wont even if the Wii drops in price.

There's no need to wait. It's printed on a circuit board that is 25nm thinner. The difference is really cost to Microsoft.

I don't see a price drop yet. Perhaps more bundling or the Core package gaining something.

No point in waiting unless you are a noise freak, the recent made xbox 360's have all the major problems solved, so there really isnt a problem running them, and on top of that, they are mixing the new cpu's in with current stock so you will never know if you get a new one, and even then you will probably have to take it apart just to find out. It doesn't matter and theres no point in holding off. The move is just to cut manufacturing cost.
