PS3 disassembly

I'm wondering how long it'll be before the modding community come up with a copper heatsink :P

That standard one must be worth best part of a hundred quid as it is!
 
the team taking it apart were actually commisioned by Microsoft as they wanted to learn the secrets to building a quality console which doesn't keep breaking ;) :p :D

And they certainly do need help with that. :o
 
My word that is huge! Pretty cool, no doubt i'd of taken it apart after a week or so of having it and it looks pretty fun :p .

Although, someone answer the damn phone!
 
why does everyone keep on saying that its huge?


do you know what its 1 heatsink cooling CPU and GPU therefore it should be twice the size of a normal heatsink, and i reckon my titan amanda is a lot bigger than that puny cooling system

BEcause the PS2 fangirls whined and bleated about the size of the XBox 1 and now suddenly size is irrelevant.

I'm sure that they were talking about the size of the heatsink and fan being huge rather than the actual console.

The PS2 is only slightly bigger than the 360 when you put them side by side. The Xbox was bleeding huge though, that's why they shortened the name from XtraLargeBox to Xbox. ;)

If it was heatsink size then I apologise.

So if the XBox 1 was "bleeding huge" and the PS3 (I assume you meant PS3) is "bigger" then the PS3 is bigger then bleeding huge, no?

oops I did mean PS3 - soz!

Is the PS3 bigger than the original Xbox then? I must admit I have no idea having never owned one - I think part of the problem with the Xbox was that it looked huge, probably because of it's design or summit!

The PS3 isn't much bigger than the 360 though, heres a pic to prove it http://www.josephlock.co.uk/misc/ALL2.JPG
 
What is it with you size obsessive people? :p

The PS3 is marginally bigger than the original XBox (it's 1cm wider thats all).
The 360 is only a fraction smaller than its predecessor, the only thing that makes it seem smaller is the fact that it is slightly thinner and white.

Its only because people are comparing them to the Wii and PS2 do they seem large in size. But quite expected for new technologically advanced systems in my opinion.

It isn't really any smaller, but it has a seperate power brick.
Was a good way to disguise the size of the over all machine. Some folk like the power brick idea, some don't.

Thanks for pointing that out, as i don't own any of the next gen consoles yet i keep forgetting that the 360 has an external PSU.
So would the 360 be bigger than the PS3 if they built the PSU in?
