Well as you may or may not know the XBOX 360 is a bit smaller then the PS3. I have now figured out why. when you open an XBOX360 you get the console itself then this other big grey box. I mean big. it's about the size of a red brick Just about as heavy as well. this is the 360's power supply. well IGN has just received there PS3 and guess whats. it's power supply is internal. that would be the reaosning on why it is slightly bigger then the 360. if you made the 360's power supply internal. it would be quite bigger then the PS3. so to every one who says oh the PS3 is so much bigger then the 360 and you were complaining about the xbox's size. well now we know why it's bigger and why it will prolly run just as hot as the 360 does. I bought an external fan thing for mine called an intercooler. why my XBOX360 is louder w/ 2 external fans then my PC that has about 10 fans is beyound me. but it's loud. and the system still runs really really warm. so warm infact that I no longer need to turn the heat on in my house. my daughter comes up to me and says daddy I am cold. I say ok everyone come gather around the 360 and stay warm. lmao. once the PS3 comes out I will give my input on it's warmth as well. believe me.

I never said it overheated. I am saying the thing runs very warm in most cases 85+ degrees and in some places 92+ degrees. so I bought the intercooler to cool it down a bit but now it's louder then it originally was. you gotta admit it is pretty loud and the intercooler. makes it even louder. I can't say anything about the PS3 nor can anyone else right now because no one owns one.
