I highly doubt that is true seeing that an Xbox360 ran noisier and most likely hotter than the PS3. Those power ratings must be off. Rated power and power consumption are two different thing altogether, for example a PC's 500W psu doesn't mean u are actually using 500W power at all times.

I notice something on the PS3. The fan will run faster if it's getting hotter, so most probably PS3 makan power even more

looking at xbox voice - its mainly our malaysian geng under the singapore banner..

Hey all, since quite a few of you have multiple systems that has component output, I wonder if anybody has seen/have an A/V selector that has component connections?

My TV has no more free component inputs after my x360, dvd player .. soon to come wii....

well most of em have lcd tv with component/vga input. so xbox connects to component and pc connects to vga. for multiple composite, u can search anywhere

my tv has two component inputs and one rgb... I've seen component input selectors while I was in the US... I hope we get em here soon

why not remove the one thats gonna use the component input least ? so next time if u want to use it just plug it back in...

my tv is against the wall hehe and its damn mafan to have to reach behind and pull out and plug in and pull out..

also I don't think that there is a item that i would use least hehe

I found a couple on amazon but they only ship to US :/

buy another TV loh... j/k². have u tried those composite+audio switcher to switch component, i dont know whether it'll work but if u hv 1 u can try. use all 3 for component, if it works, just get another switcher for audio. hmmm sounds like a stupid idea but whatever.

*psst: get an AV amp with component switching and upscaling

Play-Asia have this Farmer Component switcher.

ah... us12.90 with free shipping... sweet, forget my stupid idea, buy this

oo i saw that last time and i thought it was a VGA box which looked similar..
serves me right for not lookin properly

That may be true, but for comparison's sake, on a US Xbox 360 console, the power brick is rated as 5.0A and 120V (600W?) while for PS3 its 3.2A and 120V (384W?). Even so, that doesn't mean that the PS3 consumes less wattage than the Xbox360, but it also shows that the PS3 don't necessarily use twice as much power than the 360. The most realistic figure is around 170-205W.

AV Watch did a test using the electric usage meter, n here's what they got.

AV Watch's figures :
150-170 W -- starting up
160-170 W -- navigating in XMB
170-180 W -- Playing BD movie disc
~180 W -- Playing AVHCD
180-199? W -- Playing games (e.g. RFOM, Genji, apparently never crossing 200 W)

mmm.. wondering... anyone using component multi switcher with orignal MS Component cable ??

any quality downgrade ??

Question to you guys, how do you juggle the many neat games that are out for x360 now?

like you guys i have the recent hot titles like GoW, CoD3, SC:DA,VP,R6 etc ..
i don't know which one to play first
plus i realized i haven't even really touched graw since i played it last time.. tossed it aside for oblivion

and i am still playing oblivion.. playing from sccratch again and playing the add ons..

so ... do you guys have a schedule of what games to play or do you guys "play finish the best first" ?

I think everyone practically finished GoW. Then it was on to R6.

Alot of them had time to finish SC:DA and MUA before GoW. And alot of us didn't get COD3 (i think). Viva Pinata is a no-ending game...so that would jst be there forever and ever..and ever...and ever..

Personally i have no idea how i am going to finish everything except that I know i need to stop buying soon. So I make my solemn vow that Blue Dragon will be the last game for this year!

Famous last words....

I skipped GoW singleplayer and went straight to COD3, finished that just in time for R6V to arrive.

For me, i just buy one game at a time, and finish the game before i buy a new one.

Mmm blue dragon ... finally a worthy RPG?

Damn MK84, looking at your sig ,reminds me that i really hope Lego star wars II will get an asian version release

I doubt it. Seems they're having some licensing issues with it.
