It's normal for PS2 and other similar devices to get hot... Overheating means getting abnormally hot... I live in a tropical country and temperature can rise up to 36 C when summer season.... We don't have an air-conditioner so I only use it at night. The room temperature plays a big factor.

I live in New York in the winter and in the Northern areas of Alaska in the Summer!

So the word heat is not in my dictionary! 

COme on guyz give him a good answer. would you like it when u ask something and all you get is crap.. well im not really sure about this i have a bulk ps2 and it never get over heated i dunno why maybe the huge fan behind it. and i play games like 14 hours to 16 hours a day, sometimes more...if i have an rpg in my disc tray lOLwillxcool

Yuo're right, room temperature plays a big factor expecially for the slim PS2 coz it's fan is not enough

I dont think it gets hot much with its internal fan. but my slim ps2 gets really hot after 45 minutes.

emm.. my ps2 never got hot ... i've an air conditioned room...
maybe when you play some naughty games, then your ps2 might get hot..

Mine's a slim ps2, and it gets quite hot after abt 2hrs. I got an internal fan, so i guess there is a good way to prevent the ps2 frm overheating. i can play up to 6 hrs without stopping.

 I have a PS2Slim, it's never over heated, that thing runs cool all the time 24/7......oh, I just never had it on more than two hous a day.

hahah nice one, i was planning to say the same thing

seriously, sometimes i play like 24/7 and nothing happens, so i think there is no need to worry, unless you had the overheating problematic ps2s and didnt change your adapter yet ( its nothing new, so dont worry if your ps2 is new )
