It makes sense since the PS3 is more quiet than a 360.  The bigger the fan, the more quiet it is when moving the same amount of air.

Also they don't need to spin as fast to blow air out...I think.  I don't remember anymore.

If you mean my pics - PS3 cooling system, followed by 360 cooling system.  The length of copper tubing is a good measure of the relative effort that went into engineering the two consoles.

Also consider that 360's didn't even include most of that copper tubing until late last year.

C'mon Zero, I'm doing your job here.

I thought the propellers of a small helicopter that cool the PS3 was good enough. :'(

Look at the size of the heatsink!!!

there was a video way back in 2006, where a group of japanese people opened up the PS3, saw the huge ass fan, and everyone started gasping and laughing

pretty funny
