Game Cube vs. Xbox 360 (power supply)


Recommended Posts

Yeah but how about we compare the sizes of the 360 power supply with the Gamecube's? I have a Gamecube (not my 360 yet, still waiting for my shipment) and I'm pretty sure the Cube's power supply is fairly large in comparison to the system itself.

uhm, i'm looking at my gamecubes power supply right now, and it's a lot smaller than the cube. The xbox 360 power supply is almost as big as the system it supports!

You've obviously never seen an X360 or its power supply, then...

I have both systems next to me and the GameCube power supply is very large compared to the size of the system.

In fact, I'd estimate that both power supplies are about the same relative size (as a percentage of the size of the system they support).

Also, the power brick on the PS2 Mini isn't small either.

If the power supply is really relative to the size of the machine, the X360 must be HUGE!!! Would you mind taking a picture of the 360 next to it's bulky power supply?

Here's a shot of both systems and both powersupplys (my cable box is behind them all for comparison purposes).

If you look carefully, you can tell that the GC powersupply is about 5/6 as long as the GC itself and a little less than 1/2 the height.

If you look at the X360, you can see that its powersupply is also about 5/6 as long and about 1/2 the height.

That's why I said that, relative to the consoles they support, the PSUs are about the same (not exactly, but close enough).

Here are some more shots:

Visually, I'd estimate the volume of the X360 as being about twice that of the GC. The GC is about half as wide. It's shorter, but also taller.

Once again, here are the 2 systems compared with my Motorola HD cable box:

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
