*UPDATE* Llama decided to do a Part 2 to their little anatomy discussion. The new pics come from the back of the Elite motherboard, but by comparing these with the launch 360 motherboards, they've strengthened their suspicions that the Elite isn't using (yet) 65-nm technology.
The interesting part to most is the area under where the CPU connects we see lots of changes around here but its mostly just smaller components in a tighter space. The Ball Grid Array size has of course not changed so although we see a denser arrangement of smaller components we should not take this to mean that it is necessarily the 65nm core. |

Looks like LALA has not seen the other news yet about the 360 and the Elite are surpassing all expectations. And as for his crappy system here is some more bad news from Japan..
Sales figures for Week ending 15th April 2007 -
PS3 hardware sales 13,806 dropped another 9%
Wii hardware sales 63,775 UP another 26%
White Power!
YER
these is no next gen drive in this ***** !?!?! no hd dvd and no blue ray well just hdmi and 120gb i dont understand why people would want it
Because the 360 has fantastic games and the Elite will just make things better, that is what a console is for NOT stupid Blu Ray Movies, and the DVD9 (which the 360 has) has wiped out any chance of Blu Ray or HD-Dvd taking over.
And do you realize if they make a cheap standalone Blu Ray drive it would KILL the PS3,as people would buy the independent drive rather than paying for a games console that also supports Blu Ray...
For one, Microsoft wouldn't be allowed to make standalone Blu-Ray players, seeing how they don't have the licence to do so, and even if they could it wouldn't be anywhere near as cheap as an HD-DVD. Lets not forget the HD-DVD player add-on for the 360 doesn't support 1080p. The cheapest a stand alone unit for Blu-Ray is around $600 come around June. The Blu-Ray laser alone cost somewhere upward $300. So in the end, it'd still cost somewhere near the price of the console.
Some might argue that 1080p isn't important and nor is HDMI, but now MS pushes out a new SKU of the 360 with HDMI for what reason? Oh because some games might actually want to use the added bandwidth.
He is not talking about MS making a Blu Ray player, he is talking if ANY company make a cheap Blu Ray player it will badly effect sales of the PS3, whereas a cheap HD-DVD player will not affect the 360 in any way at all, MS are very clever...
Microsoft has said that they would make a BluRay add-on for the XBOX 360 if there is enough demand for it.
Hope they bring out a HD-DVD+BluRay compatible add-on player [that would rock] : )
Oh yeah - 4 all those ppl trying to knock the Elite - screw u - the Elite is awesome, i'm gonna get 1 + put my current X360 downstairs [just coz u'r PS3 sucks coz its games + online suck - dont mean u can go around bashing the #1 console]
thats my 4 cents
the only reason the 360 is on top base on sales is because like 5 out of ten of you have to buy 2 or 3 system because it breaks down mean while my ps3 has no problem an u can check that.

Microsoft said they'd add an integrated HD-DVD player to the 360 if there was enough demand. They have no intentions of EVER dealing with bluray
Buying the elite seems like such a waste of money though. What happend to Microsoft saying 20GB was enough for any Gamer. So they shove in a 120GB and add a huge premium. I rather just buy the core system. Microsoft could've easily got rid of the Premium and made the Elite the Same price. But they just want to suck out every piece of profit they can.
Personally I think they should lower the price down to the point where its at their cost, they'd probably sell a lot more system and push out a whole lot more software that way. In the long run it'd help them a lot, and probably could run neck to neck with the PS2 in terms of popularity, in maybe 5 years. Microsoft jacking the price of the Elite for no real reason is just unjustifible. I know one thing people want in it for sure is WiFi!
The biggest problem right now is the 360 is branded with problems.
-Ring of Death
-Over Heating
-Loud
Microsoft could easily fixed all these problems but it doesn't seem like the newly designed hardware for the Elite isn't going to help any of that. Sure you could mod the hell out of your 360 to overcome heat and noise, but the average owner isn't going to do it.
Complete anti MS crap, you know the 360 has none of your listed problems now, maybe when it was first released A WHOLE YEAR BEFORE THE PS3, the PS3 is failing all over the world and the 360.Elite and Wii are in high demand, LOOK at the latest news on QJ.
byaaaaaaaaaaaa
This is MS just profiting off you noobs. They figure hey since our first units failed please go by our other unit for more money! It's the color black too woopty doo!
Sony is giving gamers everything they want and just trying to break even, right?
Pay only $200 more, get "free" blu ray and wi-fi. Wow. How much more does it cost to get decent games developed? Aparently too much.
I noted in their examination of the system that they still are not able to verify if the CPU is on 65nm process yet ot not... If this baby turns out to be the 65nm that everyone's waiting for, then this system would be a winner. BUT - since the chips are glued down, I suspect that the 65nm version is still forthcoming...
MS said the elite would have basically the same hardware as the other versions. The 65nm chips are not ready yet. I will upgrade to an elite when they are.
That should fix the reliability issues for good.
Why do you people argue and complain so much. If you don't own a PS3 then don't worry about it. The truth is they are both great systems. Hardware-wise the ps3 is a lot better.....but the 360 is a lot more fun because it has more games. Seriously the 360 is only where it's at because it had a year head start. We should just wait a couple of years to have this argument. Also....I just bought a 360 and they are still loud. It's kinda scary and sounds like crap next to my ps3.....but yet my 360 is played a lot more than my ps3. Anyway it's all about the games......and I hope we can see more original games soon.
