Where can I get one of the new systems with the HDMI output?

One article said they have already started hitting stores. You just have to look for the boxes with the HDMI logo on them. Still hasn't been confirmed yet if these models also include the smaller, cooler running chip set.

Yeah, I would definately want the 65nm chip and quieter DVD drive if I were to get a new Xbox 360.

Absolutely, I would be willing to get another 360 if it had the new chip set and quieter drive too.

My guess is that Microsoft will not leak with the new chipset is out, they will want to move the older units and if people know to look for the new ones when purchasing, they will likely skip the old ones. At least I would!

[studiolemon]

True. I guess we'll just have to wait for one of our favorite tech sites (hint hint - digital trends) to buy one and crack the thing open.

On it! :)

There was a Digg story on the chips being 65nm and it was buried pretty quickly. I assume this was some idiot high school kid opening up the box, looking and saying, "Wow, that's a small chip. I bet it's 65 nm big!" So, the jury is still out.

The jury is NOT out on Red Bull and vodka being faaaaantastic!

damn!

And yes Red Bull and Vodka r0x0rs! :)

Looks like the new Xbox 360 Premium does not have the 65nm chip :(
