    From the specs I read, PS3 is bigger than the original XBox.
    As far as internal power supply goes, I'm thinking that's on its way out. With ever-increasing processor speed, comes ever-hotter power supplies. The logical place for the power supply to be is outside of the box.

    That's just my two cents.

    If you look at the picture with the controller in it you can see that the console can't be bigger than the original xbox.. maybe heavyer but i don't think bigger.

    Does it even matter how big it is?

    Size matters to a certain degree...

    lol, that's a nice picture XD

    Anyway, I'll probably get a PS3 around Christmas next year or January 2008 (man that sounds so far away) when they're cheaper and have a good, solid library. Since I have a younger brother, I wouldn't complain much about the price - he always pays half of it - but the PS3's price has been bumped up to 750-800 dollars here. That's just too much! I could get two Wii for that price, and those are 360 dollars here.

    Err... isn't gameplanet pre-selling the Wii at around 500 dlls (5000 pesos if we had the dll at 10 pesos that is...)

    Yeah, but I'm not gonna buy it at Gameplanet when a little makeup and some smiles can get me a discount at GamesWorld, which is usually cheaper anyway... seriously, while GamePlanet was selling the DS Lite at 2600 pesos, GamesWorld had it at 2500 with a free game included.

    (and no, I didn't buy the DS Lite. My mother did and now she plays Brain Age and Nintendogs all day long. Then she feels guilty with our real life dog and plays with her.)

    Anyway Ryouga, you live so close to the US, couldn't you just go and buy one there? Everybody here at the DF wants to do that, but if you add the plane ticked then it's just stupid, heh.

    Yeah. That is what Im doing next year. Currently I care more about getting games as FFXII, .hack//GU 1 to 3, Ar Tonelico and Rogue Galaxy.

    Next year I'll definitely travel to Laredo or McAllen and get one.

    The only thing I've bought from GamePlanet was an Atomix magazine that included the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Trailer.

    time to come back to reality:

    the 360 is overal BIGGER then a normal xbox ( i have both ), the sleek design is just an optical illusion.
    also the ps3 might have a build in psu BUT, it gets WAAAAY hotter then a 360 ( i dont feel like looking it up were it said that), and the psu thing is just stupid, mine isnt even close to my 360.

    No sources, no reliable info

    Indeed, along with the fact that the 360 battery thing is the one that gets hot, not the case. And then there was that whole STARTING FIRES thing. Also, nice use of foreshortening in that pic there.

    foreshortening? are you retarded? i already said the whole psu thing is stupid, cause mine isnt even close to my 360, MEANING the place i put my 360 will remain COOL, the ps3 itselfs gets very hot, it will prolly need a lot more room then a 360 aswell ( not because of size, but because of heat ).

    We arent talking about the psu here, just about the console itself ( like im gonna say for the 3rd time now, my psu isnt even close to it ), the 360 is cooler and smaller, prolly MUCH lighter aswell ( the 360+psu weighs A lot, much more then an xbox ), seeing how it doesnt have the psu build in.

    For the son of a bitch that neg repped me, with such a dumbass comment for my previous post, if you cant even discuss things maturely, i guess i should treat your bitchass in the same way, go back sucking cock for 1$ instead of being an bitch( prolly is the same thing anyway).

    anyway, i just left on my 360 for an hour, and the psu is warm, but only a small part of it, the rest is cool, ppl who have hot psu's or "starting fires" are just idiots, who crammed it in some non ventilated location.

    Just 12 more days too!

    And 10 for the PS3. Anyone here getting one come next-next Friday?

    And on the PS3 heating up, there's a story down at the Avatar ( http://www.evilavatar.com for those who don't know it) that basically refutes those rumours. PS3s heating so much they melt is a story as unbelievable as the Wii being un-playable in the sun...


    Edit: Found the story I was talking about.
    http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/arc...p/t-20338.html

    I'm not completely sure of how true this all is - being so close to launch certain sites will claim something while some others will claim something different... I'm optimistic, however, so until someone here or someone I know tells me otherwise I'll believe the PS3 doesn't oveheat much.

    hot enough to melt is indeed stupid, but it does heat up:
    "Since the folks at IGN have a PS3 debug kit, they had a small Q&A regarding the PS3. We thought that you guys wouldn't really want to read about other people's befuddlement regarding the much-awaited PS2 successor so we'll just drop the Q's and give you the A's. Here be the details:
    The system is quiet. However it heats up. You can definitely feel the system spew hot air from the vents on the side. The back of the system gets particularly hot. The sides just get mildly warm."

    its only logical for a system that is passively cooled WITH a build in psu to get hot, seeing how its the back ( and even the sides a bit ) the ps3 will need a lot more ventilating space then a 360, i wont be suprised if we get the same "system crash/lockup" things as we had with the 360 ( even though only idiots got them )

    Oh and above was from QJ.net

    wow, after reading a ton of things online, sony isn't gonna meet there goal of 1.8 million units for the US, currently only having 650k unites for US distrobutions...appearantly they ran out of the components to make blue ray disks and the units being released won't even have a working version of linux when you buy it. *ill try to have the article i was reading online about all the current problems sony america is having*

    long live the Wii, if sony goofs this up then microsoft just might actually get a footing in japan ..making wii and microsoft the dominating systems in japan.


    also, microsoft will be releasing somethign with xbox from what i have read it will make Xbox games more versatile and easier to port them to PC . so really what this could also mean for sony is that they will have alot more game companies going to a universal platform because of the difficulties they are having coding games for the ps3..

    "400k for US, and 80k for JPN" those are the amounts of units for launch date.

    Since PS3 was developed in Japan, you would think they could have easily averted that woefully famous idiot factor: They could have just borrowed a few of the Naruto filler script writers as testers, and every possible problem arising from idiocy among customers would have been revealead...

    (Sorry about spamming this thread, but I'm not really any gamer, and won't be buying any of the next gen consoles.)
