Confirmed: Xbox 360 Slims Down This Fall

rumored switch to 65nm processors codenamed “Falcon” will indeed be seen in the fall. The switch could possibly end the headaches caused by the RROD, which is costing MS $1 billion to reconcile with its die-hard fans.

The leaner and meaner 65nm chipset will not only be cheaper to make, but it will also stay a lot cooler than the 90nm chips currently running 360s. A possible price cut could also be announced this week and a new re-design should solidify the lead the Xbox 360 has over the PS3 despite its recent price cut.

This is exciting news, especially if they’re doing a redesign as well.

Now that the PS3 has it’s price drop and and the extra 20gb….what else is there to look forward to? A slim PS3? More price drops? It’s already got everything you can think of, what other ways does it need to improve other than a lower price, and more games?
