I suggest you stop turning your PS3 off so abrubtly after intense gaming sessions. Doing so will deactivate the fans leaving plenty of left-over heat residing in your console. Needless to say, this is not good. Before turning off your PS3, I suggest going to the XMB menu and allowing your fans to cool the system for a few minutes.

But, it looks like it's too late for you if your console is already swollen. I suggest you leave the PS3 on as long as possible to let it cool down & hopefully it'll turn off on it's own.

That is a good idea, I tend to turn it off just after quitting a game. I've never thought of it that way. I'll be more careful from now on, hopefully no damage is done.

I don’t think a console should be designed so that you would have to think about what to do before you turn it off.  People are used to just turn things off when they want to so you shouldn’t have to think about it from a design stand point
