Now we're talkin' business. Even assuming that Eternal Sonata gets ported to the PS3, there's got to be something I'm going to enjoy on the 360. I'd be a fool to myself to get any model other than the Elite, considering that I hear the new CPU process and cooling solution have pretty much licked the problem which led to red rings of death.

If only. I know of 2 people with the new chipset that have already had their 360s red-ring. There is really no way to avoid flirting with the possibility still. Just be prepared to deal with the warranty process which thankfully Microsoft has gotten really good at.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Na, all of the HDMI models are using a 65nm CPU, but some of them are still using the 90nm GPU which is the main cause of the RROD issue. Lot number is the only way to go, however as already mentioned its unknown if the lot numbers in the US match the European models.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
