PlayStation 3 Slim Teardown
You say the unit draws 250W, but it is far from that. Not even the power supply would allow that, its max. is 221W (18A@12V+0.9A@5 .5V). The unit itself draws ~95W at max.! Just there is a large safety margin. (Not even the very first PS3 model drew more that 200W at max.)
