It's really dependent on the problem....
They lose enough money on selling new systems so yeah...in a sense they are 'band aiding' the problem by adding a heat sink...but..if that's all it takes ....fine...it's not just the GPUs but the CPUs also...those boys run HOTHOTHOT...hehehe
This is what I think I am hating about these next gen systems is that they are too much like PCs now...
KEVLAR...how far in are you?

That's why the only nextgen console I own is a Wii. It is great when entertaining guests.

biggest entertainment launch in history
I'm sure you've already heard, but Halo 3 had "the biggest entertainment launch in history," making more on its first day that the last "Harry Potter" book and the box-office opening of "Spider-Man 3."
And copies are still selling. 
It's crazy to see the stats & realize that during the weekend, nearly 500,000 people are playing Halo 3 at the same time!

I tried doing the legendary campaign solo…it didn’t work out to well. I only got past the 1st chapter on legendary before I started playing online multiplayer.
So I guess to answer how far along I am….
Campaign: Chapter 1 Complete on Legendary
Multiplayer: Skill Level – 28, Rank - Lieutenant, Grade 1
