Game consoles and all their dimensions

Do you care to know the size of every current and next gen console out there? I know I do! Like how big is a 360 to a PS3? This is important data and must not be overseen. It looks like the PS3 is the winner by an over aged gamers nose hair, just beating out the X360 by mere micrometres. Sony wins. I feel bad for the Wii…so wee in comparison.

Picture here and Picture here

    The 360 might be big, but has a leg up on all but the WII!!!!!!

    FUCK BILL GATES

    the x box 360 is unreal but i think the ps3 will beat it cause of the blue ray drive built in with that in the games for the ps3 could be masive.
    but microsoft have limited themself by not doing a sony and putting a blue-ray drive in therefore limiting the size of the games.
    The wii is a good onsole and very fun to play but has been let down by the graphics i think that with the gameplay of the wii with the graphics of the 360 you would get the ultmate gaming console

    I'm going to respond to the Wii being kiddish with this post I saw on a forum: "On any other console, you would press a button and it would make your character slit their throat. On the Wii, you have to angle the blade right and put it the right distance. Not to mention, as you hit certain blood vessels, tissues & bones in their neck, the controller would rumble differently and make different sounds. I sure do love family games."

    Wii under 180? You're gonna have to wait a couple years. I'm picking one up no matter what. Preorders rock. Zelda, Mario, SSB, and Metroid totally pwn.

    ***PS3*** Comes with Linux installed and a dev kit to write Mods and Homebrew games. Surf the net w/ Firefox, play linux games and Windows ports, use Gimp to put funny faces on Gates and Steve Balmer pixs. Oh yea can't get funnier than original pix of Steve "Monkey Man" Balmer! So get it? PS3 will be a Gaming Multi-Media Computer!

    Wow that means (if close enough)that with my Blue Tooth keyboard and mouse, I can be chatting with Linux/Gaim Messenger on PS3 and my Windows Computer/MSN Messenger at the same time! Those girls with two cell phones going at same time won't have nothing on me! ;)

    Is the Wii large enough to be some sort of CD drive?

    It looks like one. Can you put it in your puter?
    Can you play it though ur puter?
    What do u think?
  • Ah, the elitist VS the fanboy bullshit is alive and well, I see. Personally I like to try something before I get so defensive about it.

    Red - a friggin DVD case. Christ it's small.

    What is the one above the top down view of the Wii?
  • good lord. which one is the wii?
  • its all good
    ps3 games look good but the price {$500-$600 as for me im going to buy the xbox 360 {$300-$400} and maybe the wii if its under $180.00
  • It's true about size and Japanese apartments. I live in Tokyo in a 22.4 sq. meter apartment. I don't have a TV. Just two laptops. If someone gave me an old analog TV, I couldn't accept it because I'd have no practical place to put it, unless in the middle of my floor. At least if someone gave me an LCD TV I could mount it on the wall.

    That's why I have a DS Lite as well. Perfect match for the amount of personal space the average single person in Tokyo has.
  • pantsbutts
    just to add...i have old VCRs that are better looking than the ps3!!
    VCRs!!!!
    i am a huge ps fan, but they have lost me this round with $$$ and size. i dont understand what went wrong in that design department. too many people obviously had their hands in the design. it lacks everything that sony products are expected to have (with the exception of overpriced and cruddy components)
  • pantsbutts
    does anyone think that the ps3 is just plain UGLY??? i think it is big, bulky, and looks like the kid in first grade with the helmet.
  • Steve
    OMG!!! I want the ps3.. I heard from this guy that it can stand on it's side!!! dat pwns!.

    It is very funny how the ps3 fan boys make excuses. Oh we hated the xbox because it was big. What the ps3 is going to be bigger than the xbox 360? Well, it stands on it's side. Did I mention that the origional xbox was ugly?

    You guys need to stop being little babies. I chose the xbox because I like racing games, fps's and sports games. Some of you chose the ps2 because of the rpg's and some franchises. Good for you. I'm happy that you found something that you like. I bought the xbox 360 for a couple reasons. I knew that alot of my favorite franchise would be comming to it (forza motorsport). And I heard of alot of amazing games that are only coming to xbox 360 (dead rising, alan wake(pc too), test drive unlimited, gears of war, table tennis, condemned(pc too)). If I liked first party games from sony, I would have bought a ps3. Maybe some day when it is $200-$300 I will pick one up. If say, they make a new katamari demacy for it and gt5 is really cheap.

    Any ways, back to console sizes. I bought the origional xbox because of the games, not the enormous size. I don't want a ps3 now, because of the games, not the size. Anyone who looks to a console's size as an excuse to not buy it really is a fucking moron. (No offense to anyone here)
  • The PS3 looks kinda like my scanner. It should still sell in Japan if it has Square Enix support, but I'm not sure how it will do in the US.
  • TnT
    Problem with the original XBox was that it was UGLY and not made to stand vertical. The PS3 might be big, but at least it has the PSU build in and it looks nice too.. :)
  • Nick
    How sad is now to remember PS2 fans bashing the original Xbox for its size. Now the successor is not only bigger than the old "XBrick" but it also weights 2 more pounds.

    Some would say: "Size does matter"
  • nimro
    anescient:

    You really think the GameCube is that good?
  • anescient
    Nintendo has such awesome hardware people. They really make the console itself art.
  • Sotiris
    Wii is the best and the smallest!
  • Deburner
    I have a 360 and carrying it with its powerbrick is pain in the ass usually i have to use a laptop bag and a 360 carrying case so i can carry it and 4 controllers
    Im not sure but have we seen the power brick of the wii or the ps3
    ps3 might not have as big of one because the insides could have a surge protector built in
    wii will most likely have one

    also the wii has a sensor bar people called its a long stick that is fragile


    Im going to be buying the wii and another stinkin laptop case but it will carry the wii and all of its crap

    If i bought a ps3 I'd have to buy like a ps3 carrying case(360 one is too small) and atleast one laptop bag
