PS3 Officially the Heaviest Console Ever

[dududf]

I disagree...

I'm fairly sure that the Sega Genesis, with all of the addons is heavier then the PS3.

What with the CD Addon, and the 32 bit addon, it was a BEAST

Here's the freaken monstrosity.

OOOOooohhh Would yeah look at that Shirley... She be a ferocious one she is.​

BREAKING NEWS:

We finally got round to weighing consoles.

Yeah, I was thinking something around this while reading the article. Seriously, the weight has been on cnet for like 3 years.

Playstation 3: Heavier than a NeoGeo since 2010.

I really didn't think anyone else would have thought of this.

 

[AceDiamond]

Ah, so that's why people say the Wii shouldn't be compared to the Ps3 when it comes to games.

Different weight classes.

Well if you're going to go there let's use punch-out analogies. The Wii would Little Mac and the PS3 is Super Macho Man because this generation Sony was releasing a whole lot of bogus. [/joke]

EDIT: the Xbox 360 is Soda Popinski because he turns Red when he's denied refreshment [/bonus joke]

Wait wait wait.It's only 5kg.That's strange,the box that mine came in said that it was 7 kgs...Well this is confusing.Which one is it?

He's on to us! Play us off!

OT: Why the hell do I care? Is it supposed to be portable?

 

[Pimppeter2]

Its about time someone got the courage to tell the PS3 that it looks fat in its favorite jeans.

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

I would have thought the Atari 5200 would be heavier, seeing as it has a door.

 

[Flight]

I'm tempted to make a "Strong like bull" joke here. I know there's scope for it...

 

[Radelaide]

My table isn't complaining, and it's not like I lug it around.

Taking my 360 around is a *****, I'd hate to take the PS3 around on my back D:

Compared to Nintendo's portable little GameCube and Sony's reasonably-sized PS2, Microsoft's massive original Xbox (and its massive original controllers) became the butt of many jokes last generation, like this one for Gundam fans [http://img146.imageshack.us/i/xboxdrop.jpg/]. But now these jokes may have good reason to come to an end: The Xbox is no longer the biggest bear in the market.

Good night, sweet prince.

Spoiler: You were my favorite meme of them all

 

[JWAN]

I want to know why this is important.

clever fat jokes. But really the only issue I had was the massive xbox controller, you could club seals with that thing

 

[Chamale]

I actually like giant controllers, because I have giant hands. I've played NES games with one controller in each hand, those things are so tiny.

 

[donkeydrop]

They forgot to include the power "brick" which is external in both original Xbox and 360 and makes them the true number 1 and 2.

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

How on earth did it take someone this long to find that out, it took 4 years to weight it?

 

[Phyroxis]

...that is, the original PS3 that launched in 2006...

And they're just now making it official?

Heavy is good. Heavy is reliable. But who knows what's to stop it from blowing your bollocks off when you sit down.
Still, the reason this is important, or even fun news is that the xbox got such shit because of it's size, now there's a heavier console and it's not news. So it's basically just sticking your tongue out at people who prefer Playstation. Still, I'm amazed at the weight of my 360's power block. I was getting some games and systems together at one point, and I picked up my N64 and my 360's power brick at the same time and realized they weigh almost the same in the hand. In fact I think the power supply felt slightly heavier.

 

[The Warden]

I'm calling bullshit on this.
Do they even know how many game consoles there are?
Way more then anyone can keep record of, that's for sure.

So I'm willing to bet that there is a heavier one out there.

 

[MurderousToaster]

Come on, Microsoft!

Release the "HUEG LIEK XBOX" Edition 360. It's like a regular 360, but it takes up an entire desk! What games can you run on it? What games can't you run on it?* They added Blu-ray functionality in a back slot called the Bluslot, but they upgraded the HDDVD to have a storage capacity of 400GB and be able to run games in 102030p, so the Blu-ray is INVALID!


How'd you like Xbox now, PS3!
