Yeh, a kensington lock is just an actual lock(see here).  Kensington lock support will mean it has a little hole that the end of the wire goes into, and the other end will be locked to a desk/furniture.  Pretty useful for offices or showrooms where you need to lock equipment down, but can't see many people using it to lock their 360's to their tv stand.



The thing that bothers me still is the lack of RROD and/or Green Light of Death warranty. Are we postive these things will go for 3 years with constant use and not crap out? MS is only throwing in a one year warranty. Time will tell, but I'd hate to throw $100 at them over and over to fix them. I hope these are sturdy as hell.



It's just that simple.

I would imagine MS had people playing Halo while it was wrapped in a thermal blanket for hours on end, just to make sure they new how hot it could get before it became an issue.

lol. I'm sure they did some extensive testing this time around theres no doubt. I just have my fears after seeing two RROD's in my house and all the earlier reports. Hopefully these work out great.

I've only had one, and an E74, but my brother had three RRODs.



Maybe they just made it two red lights so you can't call it a ring anymore? :P. I'm alos really curious if they managed to increase the security against modding.



Only 17% smaller? That's... not a whole lot, is it?

And the power supply is still external....



ps3 is 290 × 65 × 290 and 3kg uses about max 90watts keep in mind it has power supply inside of it too, not impressed with 360s power consumption, size, and weight
