Why is the console so elongated?

Yeah it's always been a bit odd to me.

I think they wanted to keep the general shape of the Wii and the Blu-ray drive takes up more than half the case.

The Blu-ray drive is that silver box in front.

Blu-ray?

It's got the same amount of storage but im pretty sure it isn't Blu-ray.

Correct. It is a proprietary format.

im worry about the overheating, its to small.

Uses 32nm chips no internal HDD and has a power brick overheating shouldn't be a problem.

It's basically Panasonic's proprietary version of Blu-ray, it uses the same Blue laser tech. Just like the Gamecube/Wii discs & drives were Panasonic's proprietary versions of DVD.

I called it Blu-ray because it's what the drive is closest to, should have called it pseudo Blu-ray.
