Title: Holy Crap!
Post by: C o s m o on October 17, 2005, 04:18:00 PM
That thing is huge!  (IMG:http://pictures.xbox-scene.com/xbox360/psu/xbox_360-power_supply.jpg) Is there any chance that will be what ships in November?  I say no.

"Smaller and Sexier"?  Looking at that PSU, the 360 system as a whole is bigger than the original xbox!!  Its sorta like designing a sleak little sports car but then not having room for the engine so you put it in a huge ass trailer which must be towed by the sports car.

it def. wont be like that....how are you sure its the psu even?  its not visibly connected to the system itself.

also, thats white...so its not a dev kit.  the only units produced so far are the darker dev kits, no real white systems have been made - so i dont think its going to be like that.

You could definatly blugen someont to death with that thing, hope it doesn't get hot enough to burn a hole in my floor :wacko:

on a side note,..
I think some of the parts started to be manufactured as far back as august.  Also,.. the people that got to go the the NY and SF press events said they were playing the latest build which some implies debug kit ;) , not retail hardware (think some said that they were debug kits too).  In all the pics I saw from thos events the 360's looked white too, but you never know we just might end up with that brick.

That's definetely a XBOX360 PSU. Might not be the final model though (i sure as hell hope its not a final model, cause that thing is F U C K I N G huge!)

And i believe the guy above wanted to say that opinions are like anuses (that IS the plurar for anus, isnt it?) and just mixed the words up....





Or maybe it is anuii.....


Hm...

i believe that is the real thing or atleast close to the size of it.  with the ability to have as many cores as you want to run (one for movies for example) wouldnt that mean that you would have to have a way to control 3 different volumes of current?   also with it being external it helps us and MS in fixing them if it goes bad unlike the xbox where if it went then you would have to send in the whole system.  

i say make the thing bigger then a freaking brick, that way we have something to swing back if we ever get into a fight with a sony fanboy swinging their boomerang around.   :P

the actual completion of that is

Opinions are like clitorii; every cunt has one.

meaning.. just because you say something, see something, here something...doesn't mean its true, still true, ever was true or ever will be true.

the kit you're looking at there is NOT a final production kit.. it just looks like one to you.

As for the power supply... I don't know, having not seen an actual final version yet.

The actual final version of that PSU will be grey.

Personally, I like an external power adapter.  Why?  Since the AC/DC conversion will be happening in the adapter, and not in the console, it should be a trivial matter to connect this in the car (without needing a noisy crappy inverter).

:popcorn: First of all, you can go to your local Walmart and play the 360 right now.Its there White and real
(at least in Neptune, New Jersey) 3 playable demo's.I couldn't see the PSU though.
Being that the PSU is external, the system can be smaller and cooler.Oh, the demos are King Kong,Kameo and Call For Duty 2.King Kong surprisingly is f' ing
amazing!! CFD2 is beautiful and Kameo is unique.I'll cut this off now cuz it doesn't belong here.Thankz
