PS3 Officially the Heaviest Console Ever

[Slycne]

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

That's not even the monstrosity that is the original x-box controller.

Spoiler: Comparison

5kg? So what?

I've carried the thing round the world from Europe to China and back a few times. My back's still fine.

I also call BS. AVGN showed some obscure consoles in his videos and they looked a lot heavier and were definitely larger.

Good night, sweet prince.

Heaviest console ever made? What about that gold plated [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/96682-Be-the-Man-With-the-Golden-PS3-for-Just-5000] PS3? That thing has to weigh at least 5 lbs more than the regular PS3.

The atari 5200 weighed about 12.8 pounds, so how is the PS3 heavier at 11. Do more research before you release info please.
