According to Taiwanese industry news source CENS, improved 65nm Xbox 360s should be arriving later this year, even as soon as August.
The report adds that Microsoft has "already begun contracting out the production of 65nm chips," which in turn should form part of the consoles long anticipated "Jasper" revision.
There was also word that there was a depletion of the current chipset, ... [ read the full article ]

Goood god can't anyone read. THE PS2 WAS ONLY USED AS AN EXAMPLE FOR KOJIRO00'S COMMENT.
It was used because it, too, is a gaming console and it has been through many revisions.
FFS... if people can't understand what is being written and are going to continue to get upset that a Sony product was mentioned in a MS thread, then replace "PS2" with "plasma hdtv" in all the past comments.
Newer and better models of plasma are always being released, does that mean, as kojiro00 says, "only complete knuckle heads would buy any new xxx builds they make until xx announces that theyve made a final build of the xxx".

When a zippy is not using his reading comperhention or not paying attention to the thread and posts odd stuff, whack it in the nose with a news papper and tell it to stop reading wif its teeth.
:P
My point is the 360 has gone through almost 10 revisions and its not fixed there is no excuse for that, the PS2 only had issues with a DREs though out a few revisions not concurrent in all freaking revisions.....
I just want it known that I'm not trying to "call out" the PS2. It just made a good example because of it's long life and everyone knows it. I should have used something else for an example from the get-go.
The 360 has had a few differents skus, but not many revisions. They drug their arse for over a year before they made any attempt to address the overheating issue.

I knew I had read awhile back about a mobo being designed for repair consoles only, but I couldn't find the article. It is the Opus. They said there wasn't a set release date for it yet, though. I wonder if it's being used yet. If so, then I'm sure the news would have spread quickly.
As far as the rrod still being rampant, that's because they're still dealing with a lot of the launch versions. And it doesn't help with them repairing and reusing the old mobos.
I haven't read anything about the new versions suffering like the launch consoles. And I follow a handful of sites daily.

Thanks for that link, by the way.
I am looking at a price V cost thing, I tell everyone this if you can handle a 3 in 1 fall rate with above average warranty go for it if not wait till its under 180.
