Based on what we know, i.e. have seen, then the PS3 is smaller than a 360 because we have seen the 360's power brick.


The 360 also has larger controllers, a remote control, and a headset... do we count those? what about the extra half inch you shave of if you get the sans-hard drive one? I'm relatively sure we are just talking about the size of the sytem. Admitedly it does APPEAR that the powersupply is internal on the PS3 but we wont know for sure till we see final hardware.

At least the brick type power supplies are better than the in the plug type of transformer. Those just annoy the hell out of me because I can't get two next to each other in my power strips.


HERE HERE!
Though an interesting if somewhat rediculous work around is available.

The power brick is obviously not an accessory. Things like headsets and keyboards are obviously external. Add-on drives and other contraptions which were obviously meant to be in the system in the first place do count toward size. I think it should at least. I don't think people are gonna complain so much when it's in their house. I'm more upset with lack of innovation in the controller.

Yea, the extension cord to the powerstrip, to the tiny extension core, to the power brick/plug, to the console, is hardly ideal :/

First time i saw such a thing was in an ofice supplies catalog. I suppose in that setting it makes sense.
