Power consumption is "marginal"? Which other models have comparable power consumption compared to the slim?

Glad you asked, before you flamed.

New 80gb phat model: 280w

Slim: 250w

You see, Sony and their fanboys use launch models for their comparisons to pitch you on buying a slim. They conveniently forget, in their speed tests, that Sony released a new model of phat last year that was much, much better than launch models.

hmm both uses less than that, thats probably the power source.

That's rating, and max load, not average use, but it's what you base true comparisons on, because it's maximum potential.
