From the pictures I've seen. The PS3 is fat. But is it heavy?

Also, might there be a hint of making another redesign to make it thinner, just like Sony did for the PS2 and PSP? It's just a little trend that Sony's had on with their gaming systems.

It's not really fat, andI think it's 11 pounds. But I don't really understand why the size of a gaming console matters if it's not portable?

If its rival puts every feature add-on together to match what PS3 has, it's heavier than PS3.

Oh yeah, don't forget the once faulty power brick of this rival

It is very heavy, and pretty big, but has no power brick (it's internal, part of the reason it's so heavy), and runs silently.

It has a handle on the box it comes with, putting it in the box and carrying it doesn't feel too too heavy, i've had to move it a couple of times :D

Sony did it with the PSP because the DS did. And remember, technology always gets better so of coarse they're going to make a slimmer/smaller version. But remember, the slim unit of the Playstation 2 came out nearly 4-5 years after launch.

The PS3 has a lot of solid mass (that aids in removeing the heat from the console). This is why it weights so much along with the power brick being built in the console (which in itself is a nice feature, less clutter around the console).

If it doesn't matter to you, then it doesn't matter to anyone, right? :roll:

Yeah, it's pretty heavy.
