For those who dont know what im talking about, look here
The main reason for this is there are a lot of sony fanboys at my school, and I really wanna piss them off by doing this. Me and my freind are planning to cook some steak or something in my software devlopment class. The look on the fanboys faces will be priceless! Plus, if I am the first to build the PS3 grill think of the fame and fortune (ummm well id like to think so, anyway lol) And, I already have the perfect george foreman grill to put in there.
Im curious to see what everyone thinks about this. Is it a crap/stupid/old/good/funny idea?
Id also like to know if there are heaps of other people planning to do this.

Cook up a tasty steak for me while you're at it.
I think if you started a website like "therealPS3grill.com" you could easily start taking donations to pay for it...
Nothing says you couldn't put the PS3 guts in another case, or just sell the guts (I'm sure you could make your money back that way).
Also being that you'll be cracking it open you'll probably be one of the first to provide opening instructions for case modders as well as an early glimpse at the PS3s innards which is beneficial to everyone.
I'm moving this to the PS3 forums because this is really a PS3 mod/could lead to PS3 info after release.

Again, cause i live in Australia ill have to either import just a case or the whole console, since gay sony decided not to release the PS3 here until March next year. Heh perhaps with the innards I could put a steak on the heatsink and see how long it takes to cook lol
Im interested in this idea of setting up a site and getting donations for it. Could anyone help me out with this?
And yeh after I make it ill probly sell it on ebay or something. Im getting so excited about this If it all works as im hoping, itll be awesome!
EDIT: BTW if youd like to help me set up a site about this, PM me or something. And also, it seems like if im gunna build it, ill stuff like the cuts done professionally, instead of my crappy sutting lol

Twistedsymphony, the name shall be therealps3grill.com if this site goes ahead.
The other thing is, since I have to import either a whole system or just a case, I need to find a way of getting someone (Preferrably a trusted X-S trader) to get me one as soon as the come out and send it over here (I will pay that person via PAYPAL, not money order thanks to the scamming bastard who ripped me off $500)

don't link to the paypal donation piece directly from XS and don't ask for donations directly either.
Keep it something like "Help out with The Real PS3 Grill Project" linking to your site. because "Help" could be ideas, securing a PS3, etc in addition to donations
you could also encourage people to place links to the website in their sigs to build awareness but don't create any additional topics about it.
That's just to keep this within the XS rules.

Just add the [ http:// ] to the front of each link. I'm not sure which program you are using to edit your site. If you open the file [ therealps3grill!_000005.htm ] in Notepad you can change it manually.
Also, if you add [ target="_blank" ] with each link it will open in a new page, keeping your site open.
Example:

Maybe the new GGR62 looks like the ps3 though but the original white one acctually more resembles the x360 then the ps3. And the 10th anniversary editions is almost spot on what the 360 looks like.

In that case it wont take up much space at all, but you'll definitly want to shield the plastic parts of the case with metal to keep them from melting.

I've never opened one up but I would imagine it heats the grilling surface using nichrome wire, as most electric heating devices do.

I may be wrong but I think that consoles use thermo setting plastics that don't melt. The same kind that saucepan handles are made from so they dont melt. But ofcourse, shield it just to be sure.
Sweet project aswell. I think the PS3 actually looks more like some models of barbecues than a George Foreman, but its still a grill.

you're probably right about the plastic but you'd better safe then sorry.
Also you're definitly right about the PS3 looking more like a traditional grill then a George Forman grill.
it has to do with the rounded barrel shape of the PS3
the split across the center just makes the top half look like it should lift up like a grill
Post by: bigjimmy on October 30, 2006, 12:24:00 PM
So if i do end up having to cut up the grilling surface a bit, i can just bend the nichrome wire or something so i dont cut it aswell. I imagine the wire would be somehow attached to the bottom of the grill surface, not actually going through the grill surface, if that makes sense.

Anyway i was reading today that on the 30th of october they cancelled all PS3 preorders to Europe. I know australia technically isnt Europe, but i really hope they dont turn around and say they cant send my PS3 becuase they cant ship to Australia. Anyone know whats happenin with this?

The PS3 gets released in Japan in about 9 hours (if its a midnight launch)

So, first thing to do when I got home was to plug it all in and play it. I must say the PS3 is frigging huge.....but the controller weighs next to nothing... I also bought Ridge Racer 7, so im only going to be commenting on this game. I will sum it up in one word.....dissapointing. I thought the graphics were a big let down. To be honest the graphics didnt look much better than a PS2 game, and yes, it was on a HD TV with full 1080P resolution.
Another thing that sucked about the game was the physics of it. It reminded me of NFS: Underground. It sucked.
I had quite high expectations for this system, and i was very, very dissapointed with all of it. So after the game we pulled apart the PS3. Lot of pictures were taken. Theyll go up on the PS3 Grill site shortly.
The insides were a lot more interesting than any other aspect of the system.....I must say I detest those stupid ribbon cables....theyre a pain in the ass.....
To all who actually want to buy a PS3 or are getting a PS3, I dont mean to dissapoint you......but you have nothing to look forward to.....
Anyhoo, the PS3 will fit a grill nicely in it...I cant wait to start making the grill.

http://dreamgamers.b...s-rr-7-ps3.html
There is a good comparison of the graphical differences between RR6 (a launch title for the 360) and RR7 (a sequel and launch title for the PS3).
From what I've heard they're essentially the same game but RR7 has some extra cars/tracks etc. You can see that a number of details have been removed for the PS3 version, IMO the most noticeable differences is the water: on the 360 it's got ripples, some shiny reflections etc, and having played the game I can tell you that it actually moves around like water should. The water in the PS3 is just flat and lifeless. This is same thing is carried over onto other elements like the reflection of the glass windows on the building etc.
This could tell us a few things, and I'll leave it up to you how you'd like to interpret it
1. - it could mean that developers had a harder time getting these effects to work properly on the PS3 then they did with the 360 either do to difficulty programming for the platform or time constraints.
2. - it could mean that the PS3 couldn't handle that extra level of detail and it had to be cut out.
3. - (if they're going 1080p) it could mean that details had to be cut out to get the game running at a higher resolution, which begs the question if support for the higher resolution on a small small number of TVs where it makes a differences is worth the loss of quality in the details.
4. - any combination of the aforementioned.
It still remains that the the game was released a year later on supposedly superior higher priced hardware and it is missing graphical details and effects.

Well, heres what I decided yesterday. Since we probly would get much for parting it out or just selling the innards, we just put the case back on the PS3 and sold it on ebay. It finished today for US$890 (very dissapointed, since I bought it for US$1050) I was hoping to make a profit.
Anyhoo, ill have this second PS3 in the next week or so and I will decide its fate in the next few days....

Sweet!
BTW the grill is getting an article about it put in Electronic Gaming Monthly. Anyone know of that magazine? Its obviously an american magazine lol so I cant really get it over here. Im having a few issues sent to me and everything aswell.
This grill thing is turnig out to be rather popular lol. I never expected to be featured on anything.
Perhaps I should take off that donation meter thing.......
Just recieved all my magazines today and I guess they didn't include you in EGM, But they DID put you in OPM (Official PlayStation Magazine)
which is just as great, but sadly this is their last issue 
Here is a scan of the page.

Any way congrats

No unfortunately, the PS3 insides take up way to much room. Plus I dont think the electronics would be able to handle that much heat. It sucks though, cause I was hoping to make one that could play games and grill at the same time, but i just dont think its possible.
And yeah, I think the 2nd one looks a lot better than the1st. Probably because I wasnt as rushed....

Oh and one other thing, would someone be able to get a copy of the OPM mag that had the PS3 grill in it and send it to me? I can paypal the $7 or whatever the mag costs.
I might be able to buy an extra copy, how much you think shipping will cost though?

i just logged on the scene to try and check out whats going on with the new ps3... as soon as a read this thread.... I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA... and read the whole topic and most of your site...
I'm really glad that you have succeeded.. i can tell you this... your going to be my hero for awhile lol...
If I had the money Id probably pay more for the grill then the ps3 it's self.
I'm looking forward to see how much you get for this beauty on Ebay!
So, when is this thing going into mass production?
see'a later!
