ahahha, thinking of getting ps3. but not afford to buy the game. rm200 ++ maa. furthermore, no real killer title yet.

Nope....it is a fake news..read the whole post before decide to post the fact..dude...

"48 - Not all Halo 3 Consoles have the Falcon chipset...
"According to various reports and photo evidence over on the Xbox.com forums, new Halo 3 Xbox 360 consoles with lot numbers #734 have been confirmed to have the newly new 65nm CPUs in them."

Source: http://www.xbox360fanboy.co...

There is no proof that this is the 65nm chipset in the photos. Seems fishy that they cut off the number that would indicate it is a 65nm chipset.This is nothing more than a sad BS attempt to discredit that the 65nm has solved the problem, That has already been solved in the 90nm chipset. Only some of the older consoles still floating around for sale without the second heatsink and the epoxy fix on the chips are still highly vulnerable to the RRoD."

" 61 -
THIS IS FAKE!!!!! IT MAY BE REAL RED RINGS (or may not be as you can fake it, people were doing this back when the elite came out, anyone remember???, people faking rod's, i'm sure elites have failed to, but that's not the point)

BUT

THIS IS NOT A FALCON, look at the manufacturing date, 8-16-07. Falcon was introdced on models made AFTER 8/27, THIS IS A ZEPHYR BOARD USING 90nm.

this is a farce story and it shouldn't even be posted... END OF STORY,"

Yeah i supposed it was never really confirmed, so take it lightly. We'll see in the near future though. Everybody knows the main cause of 3ROD is the GPU and the mainboard design, not the CPU.

problem is the halo3 edition just release few days ago then 3rod.... that was fast 90mm chip not that weak maybe that guy never off it since he bought on sep 25?

my elite also kinda hot so i put a fan from behind to suck all the hot air out it more cooler

As ususal..the 3rOD wont disappear...and same goes with the fake news too....

Well the scratched Halo 3 disc was once considered a fake news, photoshopped, etc.... but in the end it really is true. So not every news out there is 100% fake then.

adeiiii M$ product suk weii... fake or not... its still suk...

MS FTW (Software only)
MS Sux (Hardware)

that why lor.. my earphone wireless.. cannot use anymore... arhh tension... donno why la... hope my "new" machine.. dont kena penyakit 3ROD... always pray before playing hope dont kena ..

i love MS !! they make me spend rm3400 on they mechine called xbox360.

jump in? jump ur head ms!!

The problem is that Microsoft since venturing into the hardware side, they've been making losses in their XBOX division.

Thats what happens when you specialize too much in Software to begin with. Of course having partnered with lots of hardware manufacturers with their proprietary software its not that hard to get info on hardware and the works.

Still...after 2 years of the release since the 2nd generation of XBOX so many problems still occurs. And I don't see why they can't rectify it ASAP as they have a stock reservation of cash that could buy Singapore 100 times on whole.

Liquid Nitrogen cooling anyone ...This mod will be great...GOD LIKE...

hey i am back in action after a while, my previous 360 was dead and i called up microsoft, i sent it back to microsoft for a bloody extended warranty but they said they are going to charge me for servicing, so i asked them to send the console back and traded it at gamestop for a HDMI enabled 360, not the elite version, so, is mine the falcon machine?the mfg date is 7-20-2007.

^How come they charge for service?

You can say that Microsoft are money minded after the tremendous amount of money they have loss since xbox 1.
Xbox 1 hardware was consider one of the best, or maybe it is the best. As they are the one that introduce hardisk as a standard to the console.

Still, they are not selling as much as expected eventhough the console were more powerful & cheaper. (all come down to games) After last generation of race, they wana rush 360 to the market but at the same time, cost saving. So probably that's one of the reason with the cheapskate QC and expensive accesories. (Rock Band bundle comes with wired guitar because wireless more epxensive, publisher need to pay for royalty fee. Also they learn alot from PS2 when it comes to pricing & the way to sell/manufacture their hardware)

Eventhough the 360 hardware is not losing money anymore, but the price tag still remain the same...that's because they are 'still' leading the market just like the ps2 era and 360 has the highest attach rate of game for each console sold. (compare to PS3 & Wii) Most important is their xbox division are still not turning up any profit, things might change after the Halo 3 launch though and that's what they are hoping for...at least for Microsoft Shane Kim.

So if people really wana see the 'true' improvement of QC & price drop, i would say by 2008 when PS3 have their big guns out...then things would be interesting.
For now, i would say their money are spent on securing exclusive or getting more 3rd party onboard...awesome marketing too.

unreliable h/ware is a great hassle for end-users but bring many benefits to MS.

a consumer base who are used to crappy products is the best kind of consumers to exploit. every time a gamer register their 3RL console for warranty, means more data-mining can be done. 3 year warranty also reduces the lure of modding for those casuals. u sell modchips in the US, and u risk jailtime

and the whole 3RL episode brought a lot of jobs for those telephone customer service agents, console repair technicians and UPS drivers

You have a point there. Though it may have created more job opportunities, the data mining aspect -whenever a gamer calls up a customer service centre in regards to a 3ROD console- is a scary thing. You'll have MS piecing together information of the consumer market based on each and every XBOX360 owner's manufacturing serial number. Privacy issues anyone?

But the extension of the 3 year warranty is good as it'll probably buy time for MS to properly rectify the problems of the current console and improving their QOS. However, if they retract the extended warranty, there will be an uproar.

Well, Proton have their power window.

Now Microsoft have their Xbox360.

Hehe..

Well, it seems that new XBOX 360 FALCON has the 65nm CPU CHIP only in the console itself.

Aslo good to know the GPU too WILL be getting 6nm treatment as well.
