Regarding blowing dust out of the PS3, if you turn the PS3 off at the back (little rocker switch) and then hold down the eject button as you flick the rocker switch back on. The PS3 will double beep, then the fans will go full bore in reverse for 10 seconds, then beep again and go back to standby. Press the power button again and it'll start up normal. I do this roughly every year and my 40GB phat PS3 still runs like clockwork.

Wow, that's a great feature.  I have never heard anything like that.  I think all things with fans in them should have a feature like that.

It is a pretty neat feature, I'm not sure where I read about it first as its not in the manual for some reason, but like I said I've done it every year and my PS3 still runs cool and quiet.
