no joke guys ive discoverd your ps3 burns out

my ps3 burnt out took it to the store and they replaced it for me saying your supose to buy a four way fan thing which connects to your ps3, so i did and it really dose go ice cool
know one tell you this so i thought id tell you guys

what happend was sony did not put a strong enough fan in the ps3 so it proun to over heating.

if you only play games for 10 minutes dont botheir

if your a seriouse gamer get this fan or your ps3 will f**k up

lol maybe you where just un-lucky mate. my ps3 stays cool without a fan. dont ever feel hot.

ps3 was designed for maximum cooling so im not worried about the components - but if its anything like my PC, its the fans themselves that burnout or get clogged with dust and jam up - then the fans need to be replaced. any exterior or additional fans will only blow more dust making this worse (unless they are filtered)

if you use your ps3 for like 6 hours a day in hot weather, its obvious that its gonna fry. Even my psp melts when I use it for long time in hot weather.

I lately got a PS3 though it doesn't heat up. OK, maybe I don't play for like6 hours a day though I've noticed that the ps3 has one of its side all wholes for air flow so I don't think the PS3 should heat up.

as I heard, the PS3 has got good a good cooling system but I dunno at your end. Maybe your fans aren't working or they're full of dust (which btw may be the case).
