I use expensive homebrewn external heating solutions for my PS3s.

Yet more of the endless fud imo. The PS3 outdoes the xbox in nearly everyway when you look at the facts. Which is why the ps3's subjected to endless fear, uncertainty, disinformation. Such as the ps3 has no games which is still amazingly being used to attack the ps3.

The first 2 months I had my PS3 it spend all its time doing Folding at Home when I was not playing.

Yes 2 months of non stop cpu/gpu useage without shutting it down.

So I hardly think 5 hours would count as playing for a long amount of time...

Yet more absurd fud. Fear, uncertainty, disinformation is still being used wall to wall to attack the ps3. What are MS or people connected to them so afraid of?. This is just truly ridiculous

^ microsoft it's way worse, this sound like minimal software thing. they turn back again just fine.

360 was killed completely rrod.

glad i have cooling fan

I guess it was actually using more than 100% of the PS3's power...

Also, sorry to hear it

I have a monkey blowing into the vents of my 60GB BC PS3.

No overheating or shutdowns playing it for a couple hours today.

Also, U2 is hands down the most impressive looking (and playing) game I've ever played.

Yea, I'm gonna file this under; not an issue.

as long as I don't crash or freeze during multiplayer, I'm all cool with it, hasn't happened yet lol.
