Im looking at my PS3 slim right now and i dont see any air holes, i see the export air holes but not any import air holes, and it gets really really hot.

 

How the hell doesnt this thing break? I know my old 80 gig one used to get hot but not this hot and the fat model has air holes.

 

Someone please explain.

it was down to the solder the original PS3's used, that is why the old ones are more prone to failure (the solder melts from overheating due to over usuage / neglect).

Still not many PS3's suffer from this problem, but i must admit more and more PS3's (original ones) are getting problems, unfortunately.

Edit: oh yeah i forgot about the better fan that they put in the PS3 Slim, that helps it to keep cooler inside



it's the future of handheld
