The whole RRoD issues "fixed" part is a nice surprise.
The HDMI on Premium/Cores, quiter drives and a possible 65nm core are nice too

sounds good to me...price drop..check...cooling issues hopefully fixed?...check....now I might get one...HDMI is a real nice bonus too....looks like maybe they can't do HDMI out the multiport of the first run of 360's

They're releasing a cable soon. I posted the link from Kotaku a few months ago.

I think it remains analog, but you're not going to be able to tell the difference.

There hasn't been official word yet that these models are equipped with the cooler running 65nm cores. I wouldn't run out to a store just yet. Wait until it's confirmed, and even then, wait a bit more, just to see if anybody has problems with them.
Don't be a guinea pig for the 'soft.

kinda tempting for the people who don't have a x360 yet to put off getting a HDMI equipped 360, regardless of new 65nm cores or not. how would you get that info if you were to buy it online? If i didn't already have a wii and just spent too much money on a pc, I'd probably grab that xbox 360 premium with guaranteed HDMI from frys for 350 right now, guinea pig or notOni said:There hasn't been official word yet that these models are equipped with the cooler running 65nm cores.

The keyboard is not rumored anymore. It was confirmed some time ago.

...it looks like they taped a blackberry to the underside...looks uncomfortable to hold.I can see how it would be good for casual input, like creating game profiles....but to do any real typing you'd have to put it down...which at that point might as well just have a wireless keyboard.

Yeah, the headset is much, much better.
I wonder how the could use the heatset to best effect in a MMORPG.
I guess you could have guild/group chat via headset and use a keyboard or something like this for general chat.

Confirmed by NeoGAF via Kotaku. http://kotaku.com/gaming/screeeeee!...ot-yet-sporting-new-falcon-chipset-289035.php
I'ma keep waiting. I refuse to be a guinea pig. The 'soft can do their own QA testing, they don't need me to do it.

The funny thing about your comment is that there is absolutely zero proof that a die shrink will in fact solve the issues surrounding the RROD. I have a hard time believing that 65nm is going to be some sort of magical panacea.

Oh, absolutely, which is why I'm not heading out as soon as Falcon is released. I'll let other people do the QA.
