Have you suffered the Red Ring Of Death (RROD) on your XBox 360 recently? If so, there is a silver lining to your situation, read the quote below (Kombo.com) :
According to unconfirmed sources, the SeattlePI is reporting that the new "Opus" motherboards are now shipping on replacement Xbox 360s from the Xbox Service Department.
"I've gotten word that the 'Opus' Xbox 360 motherboard is now shipping and will be included in the repair and refurbish (RnR) operations at Xbox. This means that folks who have their 1st generation 'Xenon' Xbox 360 die on them with the Red Ring of Death (or a Core Digital error as Microsoft internally call it) might get a new motherboard. This is a newer "Falcon" generation chip set with a cooler 65 nm CPU but no HDMI port."
The new motherboard will supposedly run cooler and quieter than the old one. It is also important to note that this new motherboard was designed specifically for models without the built-in HDMI port.
For those of you who were unfortunate enough to have an older Xbox red-ring recently, it looks like your system could be receiving the new brain it's always wanted.
