"According to an IGN source, assembly of the next-generation Xbox hardware started recently at the Austin, Texas branch of Flextronics. This is the same electronics company currently assembling Xbox 360 hardware, and is the manufacturer of the original Xbox."

Really? A thread for this?

In the Console and PC gaming section of all places. Tsk.

This could have gone in the existing next xbox / durango thread.

I read about this but I think only the chips are being made in the US, I doubt the entire system will be made there. Also these might be pre production dev units and not real retail consoles.

Didn't see it. Thanks for the heads up, I'm probably going to post it there. 👍

May want to lock this thread at this point...

That I am aware of, but there is an existing thread on the next xbox. A singular thread discussing a rumour about where it may be made is pointless.
