    I know it's not what you meant, but I thought flame decals on the power supply would be something the modding community would appreciate, what with the "skins" and all :).

    Don't critique me too harshly, this took all of five minutes and I'm just starting to learn how to use the GIMP.

    And thanks to the site from which I blatantly stole the flame logo.

    Edit: That looks far worse than I thought it did. Oh well...

    Check out http://www.xeqtioner.net/ for some really good pictures, including a pic of the PSU unit at the bottom of the page.

    If you want to see some shit hot XBOX 360 footage then download my Tokyo Game Show Retro Core Special. Loads of stuff on that such as Ridge Racer 6, Final Fantasy, Nintynine Knights (looks amazing) and more.

    This PSU is quite reminiscent of the 286 laptop days :D

    All the current pictures from Wal-Mart are showing their demo units as using the larger sized PSU, and the shots on xeqtioner.net aren't confirmed as definate X360 PSU shots, as far as I understand.

    I think the first batch of consoles may come with this larger PSU, and following batches may have a smaller one. M$ will want to reduce the size, weight and therefore shipping costs as much as possible, it only makes good business sense. Oh well, it's not long till we find out anyhow.

    Me, I don't give a shit personally. I'm not getting one so I couldn't care less if the PSU is the size of a Famiclone or 3.

    It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm not buying a 360 until there's a "special edition" of some sort being released, and even then I won't be looking at the power supply.

    I doubt it will generate the type of noise you might expect. I'm pretty sure it will be ambient and besides the cord will probably be long enough to where this can be set on the floor behind your TV stand/entertainment center, which will block most or all of that noise.

    lol, the xbox 360 has already defeated its purpose in small size, now its known as the consoe with a brick powersupply, i can picture warning lables that state thrwoing power supply at somoen can be extremely harmful.
