Disassembling the Playstation 3: the movie
No more than 48 hours after Sony's Playstation 3 has gone on sale in Japan YouTube already has videos of one being taken apart. Take a look at this second video of the four, and be sure you listen to the comments from five minutes on to the end. You don't have to know Japanese to understand that the engineers present were quite impressed the fan you need to keep a PS3 cool while only emitting 22 decibels of noise. Hint: it's big.
As an electrical engineer myself, I had to say, I was very impressed with the engineering and design in this machine. It was quite clear from the movie that every piece of the Playstation 3 is designed to fit just so into a single, integrated whole. Compared with PS3s, most other computers appear haphazard and thrown together. Who knows? Sony might give Apple a run for its money at next year's design awards.
