NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The trend in consumer electronics is always geared towards slimmer, smaller, and sleeker. It's pretty much guaranteed that the tissue-box-sized Walkman (a Sony-manufactured personal cassette player from the 80s) will never return. So the trend goes with the new Xbox 360 which gets a smaller footprint, goes with a glossy black patina, and is fitted with PS3-ish touch-sensitive buttons. Inside, the console is built around the Valhalla motherboard which accommodates a 45nm chipset with an integrated CPU/GPU on a single silicon die. Additional features include a 250GB hard drive, built-in 2.4GHz 802.11n WiFi, and a single internal fan which translates to a quieter operating environment. The new chipset also means less heat and perhaps an end to the RROD that has sent many previous generation Xbox 360 consoles to... Valhalla.
All preorders for the Japanese Xbox 360 are shipping today and new orders are welcome. Please note NCS pricing reflects overnight shipping charges to import the consoles from Japan to the States.
