Valhalla > Jasper > Falcon

... Jasper & Valhalla 'apparently' the ones to get.

I think when Valhalla is released... Xbox 3 will be on the horizon already. But Microsoft being Microsoft, won't give any hint about Xbox 3. Gamers would rush to get (or try) Valhalla. Then a few months later... Xbox 3 announced.

... next-gen Halo already in development for Xbox 3 (heard about it last year)... so 2010/early 2011 is most likely for Xbox 3.

Although word on the street is that Microsoft is planning to release the successor to the Xbox 360 in 2010, the company is still apparently planning on updating the 360 design several more times in the next couple years. Just like the "Falcon" motherboard now on shelves updated the original 360 design with a 65nm CPU, the upcoming "Jasper" revision should take the GPU to 65nm as well -- blah blah...

The real action, however, appears to be "Valhalla," a supposed final rev of the 360 that integrates the GPU and CPU into a single "superchip." Details on that are more than sketchy, and we're definitely skeptical -- especially since we'd been hearing chatter about 45nm CPUs, but nothing about a unified architecture. We'll see when we see -- as long as all these boxes play CoD4, we'll be happy.

Lol... CPU + GPU into a single chip ! Now that's rad !

...heard the 'next-generation' will be in 2012.

But by the end of 2011, you will be hearing about next-gen already. That said, we have 2009, 2010 and part of 2011 to enjoy this generation of platforms, before the next itteration.

Thus, Valhalla being the 'last version of the 360', expect Valhalla late 2010 - 2011.
