Fat is the new black… or something like that. Even though many have embraced the new, slimmer style of the PlayStation 3, a report just emerged that stated the somewhat obvious, but nevertheless previously unconfirmed massive fact.
Weekly Famitsu magazine just released a statement declaring that the PlayStation 3 is “the heaviest piece of gaming hardware ever released.”
The first PS3 model, launched in November 2006, tips the scales at just over 11 pounds, or five kilograms. That puts it way above the original Xbox, which was ridiculed before its 2001 launch for its enormous size despite weighing “only” 8.6 pounds.
While this isn’t anything new to announce, maybe it’s the edge some fanboys need to win the ever present console war debate. But it’s not just the fattest- the PS3 Slim tips the scale in the other direction. It weighs in at a slender 7.05 pounds, seemingly boatloads less than the hefty 7.9 lbs the self-conscious, ‘too-fat-to-go-to-get-asked-to-prom’ Xbox 360 tips in at.
The wars over. We can sleep tonight because a winner has emerged; I just got word that the Slim was crowned Prom Queen.

I’m certain if you attached it to the end of a crane you’d have a make-shift wrecking ball. Not a bad thing because it means the PS3 can do anything, don’t try putting toast into it though, the PS3 can’t do that.
Wow, I thought this was gonna be about sales figures and I was sorely disappointed. I have a fat PS3 and I’m happy with it, but I’m thinking about buying an additional Slim just for living Blu Ray player.
Xbox can make toast… just put the bread on top, play a round of COD, butter and eat. goes great with the tea you can steep next to the toast.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Personally I think this news was pointless. I could care less what my PS3 weighs in at
Famitsu forgot about Vectrex! At 15 pounds, it puts the PS3 to shame. Higher quality of game catalog at this point as well.
Do PS3 games come with screen overlays, enhancing the experience? No.
At least we have Kaz Hirai.
