Rumors are like UFO sightings, lots of people know lots of people that have seen it, but until you have seen it yourself no one believes you. Much like the mentioning of there being a Blu-Ray drive in the works for the 360, there have been talks before about a “Slim” version of the console being in the pipeline.
These rumors gained a tiny bit more credible recently. Apparently there was a post on a Chinese message board “A9VG” that showed a picture of the possible motherboard that could be going into the rumored Xbox 360 Slim. The picture shows both the CPU and the GPU as one chipset. As always with rumors, they should be taken with a grain of salt. With the aid of Photoshop, and people that know how to use it well, this could be all a load of crap.
Should it be true however, think of what this would do to the PS3 in retail right now. Everyone complains that the 360 is too loud, so would a slimmer version help that? Could it be made for cheaper? Can the power brick get any bigger? We’ll all just have to wait and see, won’t we?
