*sniff sniff* Do you smell that? The future being of an overheated console? *sniff sniff*

I seriously doubt that sky. That cooling system is the best I have ever seen, the heat pipes, the massive heat sync, it will stay cool for ever. It's called using high quality parts.

and high quality parts mean high quality prices!

Heat sinks aren't a guarantee, and neither are the thin-ass heat piping system they used. Xbox 360 has better cooling than that, and even 360's was bad enough.

Wow...
"thin-ass heat piping system"?
They're supposed to be thin. Ever heard of capillary action? Yeah, that's heatpipes rely on to function. And by the looks of it, those heatpipes aren't small by any means.

Well they aren't thick. Â¬_Â¬ I'm not saying they won't work, but they don't seem very effective. Calm down.

Ok. Since you are apparently the expert on heat transfer technology, tell me this. How can this

can compete with this

I'm no Fanboy, I tell it like it is, and you sir are the kind of person who needs to be educated. I'm sorry that you can't accept the fact that Sony is putting high quality equipment in their system where Microsoft is not.

God, you guys really need to stop taking everything you hear to heart. I NEVER said I was the expert of cooling. Frankly, YOU don't know either! By the looks of it and from past facts, I think that the cooling system is NOT enough for the PS3. FROM THE LOOKS OF IT! I don't know, and neither do you! The PS3 has been said to be "powered by cell" and a very fast piece of equipment. The PS3 obviously needs more cooling equipment compared to the 360, and the ratio does not seem equal.

If I need to be educated, then you need to go to social school to understand that we all have no clue how efficient the cooling system is. This is my prediction, deal with it and get that tube sock out of your ass.

Well I think the fact that 5 of the 8 units being shown at TGS malfunctioned due to overheating, two of which melted the internal plastics, is not a good sign. Just check your facts before you go making accusations like that.

If you checked your facts, you would have found that the TGS over heatings were caused by the fact that the consoles were all in a confined, low ventilation space where the heat of all of the PS3s together combined with the hot lights shining down on them caused fluke over heatings. If you checked your facts, you would also see that all of the magazines/websites that have their PS3s right now, say that the system runs warm, as apposed to the 360's scorching hot. Many websites including engadget have stated that the PS3 blows warm air through the vents not hot, much cooler than the 360.

LOL PS3 got pWn3d!

But seriously, I can't wait for some videos &/or picks of the Wii being poped open...

Yeesh. The PS3 looks like a tank! I suspect that the Wii will have a much simpler internal design.

I'm impressed with the amount of engineering that went into the PS3.
