Yes there is. The 360 isn't a rectangle. It dips slightly in the middle.
Look I don't want to argue with anyone. Let's just leave it. My guess was off and that's that. Let's not ruin a good thread here!

same here, only it's for my PS3 as my wi-fi works just fine on every other piece of wireless hardware i own, including 360
I don't have anything against the 360 per se, but I wouldn't own one. Been there, done that, and I just prefer the PS3.
Not sure about a slim 360 though, doesn't it already run quite hot and noisy? And what about reliability? I'm not debunking it, just a bit skeptical.

You know what a die shrink is and what it involves yeah?
??????????????Cos it annoys the crap out of them having to pay $100 for something that should be thrown in for free.
Anything pre-Jasper did indeed kick out quite a lot of heat. Jasper revisions (65nm CPU and 65nm GPU) don't though - the heatsinks aren't hot even after gaming sessions. Most of the noise still comes from the DVD drive but MS could still use better fans.
With Valhalla's unified CPU/GPU and a process shrink to 45nm the heat dissipation will obviously be even lower, hence why a 'slim' is possible.
Unless the people you know have PS3s.
Yeah, I also know enough about the 360 to know the reliability is/was atrocious.
I wasn't actually aware of another process shrink, before you jump further down my throat Mr. Kre.
could this be manufactured to completely remove the rrod problem?
Im only asking as i dont know if its a flaw in the fundemental design in the electronics/circuitry or just a build quality/heat issue
On the upside if it still persists you could fit more slims in the average oven to fix meaning MS turn around time should improve significantly
I am hoping this is true and that its black as there is a few 360 games ive not had since selling my last one

Everybody is saying 'OMG this will stop the RROD', but the Jasper has already pretty much done that. The failure rate of the Jasper is reported to be less than 4%, and of that 4% most faults are with the DVD drive.
This is simply about making the 360 cheaper to produce. I'm not surprised at all, in fact last year I predicted this in a thread about Natal, I said something along the lines of 'Natal will be released along with a new, cheaper cooler running 360, maybe a 360 slim'
Makes sense for MS to do this, a kind of soft relaunch along with Natal and perhaps another price drop

Decent analysis of it if you hit up the link to Joystiq. He says that the thickness will remain the same due to the DVD drive, although could they not just use a slot-loading drive like the PS3 to cut the thickness down a lot?
