It's nice that it uses a standard power cord and not a brick.

That's a huge bitch.

It's probably about the same size as the GameCube's brick (and the PSTwo's), it just looks so big because the Wii is so small.

I'm not sure what the deal is with the brick. In the four different setups I've had my 360 in since launch, I've always had the brick tucked away nicely out of sight just like all the other power cords in my A/V rack.

How nice of SCEA and Engadget to grace us with the opportunity to see the quality of the media reader retention mechanisms.

I'm sold! :roll:

Ditto. Never understood the problem. It sits hidden anyways!

It's not a big problem, and it certainly wouldn't keep me from buying something... but when you're trying to fit a lot of stuff in a small area those bricks get to be a real pain.

At least it's in the middle of the cord and not on the end that plugs into the wall.

On the N64 I think the brick was actually what plugged into the system, and the rest of the cord was just normal... that's nice.

Indeed, the n64 was an awesome system for its time =D

power brick? apparently it uses 8x more power than the ps2, and 2x more than the 360!

I'll have to say, it does look slick...but not $600 slick. I'll wait till the price drops une $300...if it doesn't...well I'm perfectly happy with the X360.

Does the PS3 not have the ability to turn on from the controller? That is one of the best features of the Xbox if you ask me.

I believe so. The PS3 controller has the same button in the middle that the 360 controller has.
