They've been out roughly half as long as the 360 and have sold roughly half of what the 360 has sold.

It may look like a grill(does it really?)but at least it's not as hot as a grill.

Psh, that's a crappy way to prepare an egg, he got maybe 2 bites of egg from a whole egg. The ps3 grill can cook a steak.

That steak was being cooked, you could eat that steak and be full. And most people couldn't even tell that was a 360 just at first glance.

What makes you think it's fake?

Seriously, all you have to do is replace the heatsinks in the console with a big iron plate, just like in the video. The GPU alone can get up to 220 F if not cooled properly, and the Cell would be even worse. I'm pretty sure you can cook a steak with that kind of heat. The only problem you'd have is trying to find something to run on the thing to get it that hot.

It's no surprise, though, anything that's not designed to be portable or run from a battery will get up to around that temperature. If you think that's bad, you should read up on AMDs K5 processors and Intels Scottsdale processors.

That's because all of the Xbox fan boys came in here to troll. They see a PS3 thread and *snap* they're posting in it. They're jealous because most of them are waiting to get their Xbox 360 back from Microsoft because it broke..again.

My neighbor bought 1.

However, they also have 2 xbox 360's, 5 PS2's, 4 xbox's. 1 (maybe 2) Wii's.

They don't play the PS3 at all. There's no market for it yet. I played a game on it today on a kiosk in the mall and wasn't all too impressed. PS2 games still sell better than the PS3.

On black friday Target rolled out 3 pallets of Guitar Hero 3 for PS2. Had none for 360, or PS3, but the PS2 ones sold like crazy.

$200 dollar systems sell quicker since most people are cheap buyers.

You're quite the ignorant person aren't you? Your post makes you look like a hypocrite; and have you seen most 360 threads? Most of the time a few ps3 fanboys get in there and post about failure rate and all other kinds of stupid shit.

I hope you realize to fry an egg is nothing, you could do it on a sidewalk in the summer the 360 doesnt get as hot at all.
Plus he placed it directly on the heat sink....

If you're talking about me on the 1st and 3rd.

Let me defend myself:

1st thread:

If you have to send in an Xbox 360 2 times already... It seems like it would be fair that they send one before you send yours in because that way you wouldn't have to wait. I was not being a fanboy there at all.

3rd thread:

I didn't make a reference to the PS3 there... I just said good consoles are made to withstand those conditions. All consoles, Xbox original, PS2, PS1, Wii, N64, etc. Microsoft obviously was too concetrated on game development to test their consoles for reliability.

It's more of potato and meth; your posts weren't really bad.

Wiis are becoming rarer by the minute, as they are the projected number one christmas console, at least by my understanding.
