When i first bought the ps3 is very quiet that i dont even notice that is on. But after all this time, is gets loud.

I dont notice it when i turn the sound up but it wanst this loud when i first purchas it.

So, i want to know what is the reason for my ps3 getting louder and louder.

Its it because of the dust in the vent?

Just my conclusion and i'am thinking about vacum it up.

Will this be a bad idea?

LOL! ^^^

To be on the safe side, take it to the Sony Centre, it'll cost you a few bucks to get it cleaned out ;)

DON'T TOUCH IT!!!!!!

if you want to clean the dust go to an electronics store and buy some compressed gas and use that to clean it. even static from a cloth could potentially damage it.

In all fairness, Oxygen is a gas.

So you have a can of Dust-Off, or a can of some equivalent product and it say Compressed Gas on the outside of the can?

Its compressed Air, yes air is a gas, but thats not what you call it. You dont go to best buy or Microcenter and ask for some compressed gas...Come on.
