Ok, because of this thread http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=84558&page=1 I want to point something out.

There is thread on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/PS3-slim-overheating/forum/FxT8EMG5FHRYWF/TxEVCTZ2K6XOKF/1/ref=cm_cd_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B002I0J4VQ

Person is converned about heat and got following suggestion

you have the power cord connected to the PS3 the wrong way...take the power cord out of the PS3 and turn it around and plug it back in..the words that are written in white on the cord have to be facing up when you plug it in to the PS3 Slim or you get serious heating problems and it might even catch on fire.

And looks like it helped him.

I have no idea how power cord could be connected incorrectly, and how plugging it differenly could help preventing heat problem. Maybe someone who got PS3 Slim could investigate this ...

Your thoughts?

Uh...does it even fit if it's upside down?

My lone thought is also how is it possible to incorrectly plug in the power? If it was plugged in incorrectly, how is it still functioning?

Same question here.

That guy is full of shit.

Well, I got it right. Just checked.

Edit: Doesn't fit in the other way. If he got it in upside down, he forced that bugger in.

^but does it fit incorrectly??

Not without excess force. And I'm not ruining my day old PS3 by trying

It´s a cord with two identical wires, if you put it in reverse it will continue to be a wire that connects to the power plug.

That makes no sense

True.

After thinking about, we may deal with placebo effect here :)
