Did anyone see that picture of the 360 and its alleged power brick? The thing must've been a third of fourth of the size of the actual system, that thing gives me nightmares, what possible voltage or amperage could they need that would require something so big?

Hey, it's a PC inside a fancy case, right? Well PCs do require rather large PSUs.

It needs more power than the nuclear power plants can provide

It was like two PSU's glued together.

EDIT -- Here we go.

that is MOSTLY true, however i am building a portable ps2 from an old ps2 and it really isn't very big in comparison, the mobo is almost the same size and the power board is not required.

wtf.

those are so damn big, might as well go buy a pc and stick it in your living room.

Why so incredibly huge power supply? How many voltages in this one?

That's not really that amazing if you look at the xbox360 as a PC

Are you sure about that? I can believe that it's 13.5A, but 13V is a rather odd voltage. I would've thought that it's +12V, -12V, +5V, -5V, and +3.3V. It must use some high power regulators in the 360, where that can be cooled by the water cooling system(which is stupid for a gaming system).
