mputten from ombouwservice-webshop.com reports on our forums he's seen new Xbox 360 consoles without the 2nd-GPU heatsink/heatpipe (like the early Xenon consoles). This European Forza3-pack Xbox 360 Elite has a MFG 2009-08-17, LOT 0942. It seems like Microsoft is now confident enough their HW no longer needs the extra GPU heatsink.
The device also came with an Philips-LiteOn DG16D2S-09C drive which seems unreadable by DOSflash atm ('Invalid Drive Data').
