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

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

 

[One Shot]

LMAO at that last pic.
I hope they don't come with that power brick.Ether way i'll just hide it behind my tv.

Is that thing that power hungry?

 

[mesyn191]

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.

 

[hey69]

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..


hehe

A picture of the production model brick. Looks like the GAF guys were right. Who'd a thunk, eh?

That thing is big as hell.

 

[expletive]

Wow that is massive. I wonder how many watts it draws under load.

oh my That thing looks like a fire hazard.

 

[DuckThor Evil]

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

Hey, it's the ghost trap from Ghost Busters!!!

The devkits do and I would assume that the final units will aswell.

This was taken at the San Francisco press event. You can see the power dupply on the floor.

Actually I bet it's that big so it's NOT a fire hazard...

 

[mckmas8808]

The power supply will not be that big in the real 360's is it?

 

[Acert93]

The power supply will not be that big in the real 360's is it?

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
