I didn't experience problems the first month of usage.

My troubles started after I left the console on for the night to download GBs worth of demos and performed a system software upgrade, the next day I played these demos. And the first crash happened with Gears of War the next day.

I have no worries keeping my PS3 on for the night to do some folding, but I wouldn't recommend the same for the XBox 360.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.  I have a wife and daughter that play games a lot and they tend to walk away and leave the console on at the "menu screen" of whatever game they were playing.  Time will tell, I guess, but I do have a year warranty and if bricks, it bricks, and I'll deal with it.  I'm not going to dance around the supposed heat issues and constantly worry about it.



I hate trolls.
