If you never vacuum your PS3, like with the PS2, cleaning the vent openings, you can expect it. The console simply over heats because it no longer can let its air out. Plus never place your PS3 in a narrow space, it needs at least 5 inches around him for blowing its warm air out.

@Xoj, how do you tell people living in Texas, Florida or California for instance they can't play their PS3's when its warm outside? Since its always warm in those states (so I've been told), but you're right, I've noticed with hot weather the fan blows louder.
