My Xbox is Burning

Xbox 360 owners will happy to know that Microsoft and Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing have announced that beginning in 2007 the Xbox 360 will get 65-nanometer (nm) Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) semiconductor technology. The most noticeable benefit of the change should be reduced power consumption which will help decrease the amount of heat generated in the console. This could mean the common problem of crashes due to overheating could be a thing of the past.

My guess is that Microsoft won't be refunding or replacing all the current Xbox 360's in the market. Makes this writer happy that I've yet to jump in buy my 360. It's amazing how many problems can get worked out in the first year of a consoles existence.
