   Geez, yeah, it sounds like it.

   You say "MS systems" like there are 13 different ones, but there are   
   only two...and the 360 *is* both slimmer and shorter than the PS3.   
   Stacking it(the PS3) horizontally isn't going to make it any slimmer...

   Naw, the cooling vents on it are on the sides...and you're right, it   
   *would* punch a whole through the floor. ;)

   The slim PS2 definitely is ultra-hip, though I can't share in your   
   excitement of taking it around to places. Still though, if I didn't have   
   the laptop, taking the PS2 as a lightweight DVD player would be pretty   
   nice....not to mention it playing both PS2 and PSX games...assuming you   
   had the TV to hook it up to.
