7/14/2023 0 Comments Xbox 360 motherboard revisionsThis wouldn't be the first time a hardware redesign was leaked out from overseas. Here's a close-up of the chip under the fan in the previous pic. That has led to speculation that Microsoft will be making the system's hard drive an internal component, and possibly inaccessible to users. It's also worth noting that this motherboard appears to lack the current Xbox 360's specialized hard-drive port, but includes an extra SATA interface port. Given the significantly different shape, size, and screw locations of this 360 motherboard, the system casing would need to be revised and almost certainly would undergo a change in outward appearance. While the Xbox 360 hardware has undergone several revisions since its November 2005 launch, those changes have been mostly internal and invisible to the average consumer (added HDMI port aside). A second image on the thread shows what's underneath the giant fan in the original picture: a single chip that is supposed to combine the functions of the Xbox 360's CPU and GPU. One image shows the entire motherboard, which is more compact and closer to a square than the system's current configuration. Users on A9VG posted two images of what appears to be a redesigned Xbox 360 motherboard. Now it appears that Microsoft could be following Sony's lead with a redesign of the Xbox 360. Stop the presses: The motherboard will be green. The impact was immediate, as the Slim, which also received a $100 price cut, sold more than a million systems in less than three weeks. What we heard: Last August, Sony announced the PS3 Slim, a smaller, cheaper redesign of the PlayStation 3 system it launched less than three years earlier.
