I believe they are now beginning manufacture with the 65 nm chip set which runs cooler and/or putting more fans and heat sinks in. As much as a 3 year warranty was put in place to save face I don't think there is any way they do that without solving the problem for future production runs.
The new chip sets are also much cheaper so the price drop might just coincide with this change in production.
Too many potentially good games between now and Christmas. Two worlds (8.5/10 for the PC version despite all the bugs...clean that up and it may be a great 360 game), Mass Effect (from the Knights of the Old republic folks), Bioshock, Rock Band (you can use your Guitar hero guitar yeah!), Guitar Hero III, Halo 3, NHL '08....
