Well, the article was, but not the photo of the power brick.

Man that thing is massive - I thought people were exagerating.

I don't think its so much that its power hungry, but they had to scrounge up something to power it and that was the closest thing on short notice.

Supposedly according to those on GAF who've seen the production models that brick is indeed part of XBox 360. The difference is it's gray... I imagine similarly to the grey on the controller.

why do you think the Edram is on a seperate board? they'v split up the guts of the machine to hide in the powerbox . that way they could make the xbox smaller..

Now am I right assuming that X360 has extrernal powersupply?, that would make importing more appealing to me.

Nope.

It is gonna be that big outside the 360

The PSU is the size of the Nintendo Revolution! Not that I care about PSUs (they get tucked away and seen once a year, if that) but it is funny

All these pics of the powerbrick, but no posts on what the power rating is marked on the case? I'm not trying to be facetious, but it seems to be the next logical question to tie a "wattage" to the size of the device we are seeing.

To be honest this is probably part of the reason why it's so big, they need avoid the whole power cord recall the Xbox had so they give you a very robust power supply. I don't think the PS3's will be much smaller, and it t is it'll be more expensive.

I'm just in shock. The thing looks as long as the Xbox 360 itself.

If Sony can squeeze PS2 power into a system the size of the PSP. I'm betting there wont be a massive power supply like this on the PS3.
