Does the ps3 have its own version of the red ring of death?

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.

it should go 24 C about night. you can play it, fans just get louds and that can be dangerous,  either that or play with air conditioner or no in a warm rooml

You could be right about that. I remember when I just downloaded Topatoi and started playing, my PS3 was making a very loud noise all of the sudden. That day was pretty hot outside around 30 degrees, Celcius!

Anyway, if you hear your PS3 making a loud noise be sure its not overheating and the vent openings are not covered with dust.

@Glari93, how long is his PS3 turned off now? Or else I'm afraid its dead.
