Charging a PS3?

[jwwphotos]

Yes, I could always do that. But what if I want to light a cigarette

Don't have Bic lighters where you live? ...and you really shouldn't smoke anyway. Nasty habit.

ps3>smoking. ps3 won by 100%. smoking is bad for your lungs which if too much or even 1 will lead to cancer or death stay away from them.

Thats another question I have, is it even possible to charge a PS3? I mean, would the PS3 use too much power for an average battery to handle very long, or would there be some other obstacle?

You'd maybe get an hour or two out of a good battery

You have to look at the cost/benefit of putting a battery in a console It would raise the production cost which would be added to the selling price while being almost useless in a device designed to be in one place all the time.

Depends on what you are doing on it, like everything, but there are some pretty power hungry laptops out there that use more than than the slim's PSU which can output 216 watts. Mainstream laptops typically come with 65 watt - 90 watt outputs. It is significantly more but also significantly less than the Alienware M18x, that during peak usage, draws 330 - 370 watts. Including a battery would send the cost up but essentially make it a cheap alternative to a gaming laptop with similar last generation performance. In the next system, say the PS4, including a battery would be very viable due to newer 22nm fabrication. It would displace the PSU though and you would need a power brick.

I personally agree with Rabid and I think that is useless because laptops are becoming increasingly powerful and their prices are steadily declining (and it comes with a built in screen). And, I'd rather have a laptop with similar performance where I can have full control over the software/some hardware than a PS3 where you are stuck with whatever Sony gives you.
