POWER BRICK??

[Zphal]

Today my little brother purchased an Xbox 360. So once we got home, he starts to pull it out of the box to hook it up. And what's inside? A power brick that is literally the size of a brick. Wtf? What's inside it?? It's a fourth the size of the system itself! No wonder there have been reports of the system overheating!! gonk

My Lord, the Dreamcast had the power brick inside the system itself, and it's almost smaller than the Xbox 360's power brick. -_-

Yeah the power to it is huge

Keep in mind its electronics though... the processor and GPU require serious power. It'll be amusing to see what happens with the PS3 though.

Something of that size should be internal much like it would be in most electronincs. This is an example of why Microsoft should stick to software. Anybody else would make much smaller hardware or at least do it right and put it inside.
