Advantages: PS3 is more cost effective Disadvantages: PS3 has less games at present, but this will change
, microsoft made up for this by giving you a huge Power Brick and chunky cables to plug in, the actually noise created is actually quite loud I have to say.
Also the Xbox360 does have a habbit of over heating due to poor design, this can have devistating consequences, however the newXbox360 Elite is not suppose to suffer these problems, although this isn't confirmed yet.
The PS3, is actually all one unit it's power supply is built in, so it's a case of what you see is what you get, and it's very sleak.

This is the shape of things to come - and it ...
