TGDaily has a very interesting rumor about the Xbox 360 getting not just upgrade parts, but an entire redesign based on upcoming hardware. After the next 65nm chip upgrade, the next 45nm one won’t just be a die shrink, but it’ll be a complete redesign, integrating multiple components onto one chip (system-on-a-chip design).
By doing this, Microsoft can shrink the number of parts in their 360, leading to a possible slim version much like how the PS2 slim replaced the standard PS2 a few years ago. Or, they could use the chance to do a redesign of their hardware, making it less likely to red ring or fail. We’d prefer the latter. [TGDaily via 360 fanboy via Uber Gizmo]

I thought this was the coolest idea yet, but I wanted to let people see the idea that Gizmodo is throwing out. I would love to see this in action? Is this going to have Blue Ray or HD DVD?
