Sony - Cleaning your PS3 - View Post

The "vaccum cleaner" option is only available in the 40GB model and newer models, so rest easy you won't find it on your old 60GB PS3. Also, 60GB PS3 run a LOT HOTTER than the newer models so they're quite a lot more likely to have hardware problems, If I were you had bought a newer model after the first one died on me. Just a piece of advice, keep it well ventilated and don't abuse it. That model was discontinued less than a year of being out, and I don't think the only reason was to cut costs if you know what I mean....


But 60GB > all others imo, :( But yeah It gets hot on its right side pretty easily after like 1h.
My died at the age 1.5 year, I hope this lasts longer but with my old I did abuse it kinda, I played 10 hours straight for some days in the 1.5 years that went on so yeah... I dont think any console would last that tbh. I Kinda knew it would happen sooner or later.

 

Do u recommend me having the PS3 standing UP or DOWN? The thing is, When it is down u can put ur hand on the right side and u feel how warm it is. Isnt it better to have it standing up so the heat doesnt uh.. get such little space kinda?
