When Sony announced the PlayStation 3 Slim last year, it created a craze around the internet. But has Microsoft now cottoned onto the idea too? According to Kotaku, a new image of Xbox 360′s motherboard has surfaced. Take a look below:
The image above (possibly, nothing is concrete yet) shows the motherboard of an Xbox 360 slim. But the catch here is that it’s the new chip design for the rumoured Xbox 360 slim, which is undergoing testing in China. This new design combines the GPU and the CPU together which makes it small. Its not a little modification- it’s a total redesign of the system.
Also with Project Natal due this year, it might actually be a good idea to launch the slim version along with it. However we would advise that you take this with a grain of salt.

Don’t the big Xbox 360s have a hard enough time keeping cool already. All I can say about an 360 slim is – “RED RINGS”

Nah, one thing with M$, as badly as they screw up, they do learn from their mistakes. Then make other big mistakes

Microsoft were integral in the killing off of this idea in 1994. Their overwhelming FUD campaign against the Amiga platform killed off the same design… CPU and chipset (graphics chip, sound chip, display chip) on the same die to reduce size, power consumption and heat. It would have seen the light of day four months after Commodore finally went under.
And one of the two main Microsoft Mantras? The Amiga is only a games machine…. IRONY considering that Xbox and DirectX… Microsoft coveted the gaming title all along.
