i went to my local mall today, visited the 2 gaming stores w/ ps3 demos, and guess what?

they were BOTH FRIED!

one only turned on for 2 seconds, the other one now refuses to turn on at all.

This is not good for sony,I'm glad I've got to wait for mine

Poor people who waited in line for one!
If you have one you better make sure you have adequate ventilation and a fan pointed at it.
Maybe sony shouldn't have put the PSU inside the PS3 case.

An internal psu is much nicer than a bulky power brick. If you are ever buying a used xbox 360, watch out for "system only" sales. You'll pay $200 for the system, them another $65-100 for the power brick off of ebay. With an internal psu, if you ever need a new power cord, you can pay $5 for a generic one. PS3's might be overheating, but that is most likely due to unstable 1st-generation hardware. This will all settle out in later revisions.

On a side-note, that is my biggest hope for the new 2007 xbox360's - that is, an internal psu. Better one big footprint than two.
