New X-Box released for Xmas 2010?
I've read a few rumours that Microsoft a releasing a new X-box console alongside Natal in time for Christmas 2010.
Anyone else heard these rumours...any truth in them?
My kids X-box has RROD and I was going to buy them an Elite but if the above is true I may wait until Xmas.

It will be the 360 but a slim version if they do.
An image of what is believed to be a forthcoming Xbox 360 chipset revision has been leaked onto the Internet.
The board, pictured below, is said to be the successor to the current chipset - codenamed Jasper - and features both the Xbox 360 GPU and CPU on a single die.
The combination of the two is thought to have been made possible by a die shrink, presumably to 45nm.
Thought to be codenamed Valhalla, the chipset appears to be a drastic redesign from current Xbox 360 boards. The Valhalla PCB (printed circuit board) appears to be smaller than all previous iterations, and a shuffle of I/O port positioning suggests that the board will surface in a new Xbox 360 chassis.
*UPDATE* Here's an image of the CPU/GPU 'combochip' with the heatsink removed.

I think you're right, the 'new' console I have been reading about looks likely to the the Valhalla combined chipset and, as you said, possibly a slimmer console.
I imagine it'll be released alongside Natal.
I mgiht hold off buying for a while.
