It's being reported that mass production for the Xbox 360 is due to begin next month, though Microsoft have yet to give official confirmation.A report appeared on the news section of the official site for the Taiwan government which said two companies, Foxlink International and Ji-Haw Industrial will begin to deliver components to the assembly line in August:
Two Taiwan companies, Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co. (Foxlink) and Ji-Haw Industrial Co., Ltd., have won orders for connectors used on the new-generation game consoles Xbox 360 from Microsoft of the U.S.
Foxlink will start delivering Xbox 360 connectors in August. The firm's chairman T.C. Gou claimed that his company does not rule out venturing into game-console assembly business in the future.
Ji-Haw said that it has poured NT$90 million (US$2.84 million at US$1: NT$31.7) into establishing a new production line of Xbox connectors, which will be ready for mass production in August.
(The story has since disappeared from the Taiwan website, though it can be viewed through Yahoo cache.)
