Given that this should save them a fair bit of money manufacturing, does this mean there's another price cut coming in time for christmas? It's widely known there's a budget version of the PS3 coming out soon and cutting the price would spoil it somewhat for sony

lets hope it wont overheat this time..

The cause of the RROD's are not related to the CPU.

The cause of the RROD's are the GPU, and lack of airflow in the case. We know the GPU even in the lastest Falcons are still 90nm (same as previous), we also know there are no radical case redesigns to improve airflow.

Methinks this may make a marginal improvement, by reducing ambient temp in the box, but I doubt it will be a full fix.

Give it time, and stories of failed RROD 65nm's will be aplenty.

... if it is a 65nm part, the word 'Canada' wouldn't be the only change? Wouldn't the die size be significantly smaller?

Canada is colder. Get it?

First report of a halo edition RRoDing here:

But not all the Halo 360s have the 65nm. Only one batch is confirmed so far

Days after hitting retail, there are already reports of Falcon enabled 360's being just as crappy.

So, do the new Falcon machines run any more quietly?

Because my old 360 is running along just fine, thanks, but the volume of the thing could be better.
