First, I must say that I am quite pleasantly surprised with how quiet the ps3's cooling can be. But at the same time, I have to wonder if maybe Sony should have traded some of that quietness for better cooling. Compared to my 360, my 60gb ps3 puts out the kinda heat I feel could roast an egg in its shell :shock: It's certainly a lot hotter than what the xbox is doing, and certainly well beyond the Wii. So what kind of aftermarket cooling should I get for this thing?

same here dude..i to have the 60gb ps3 and my ps3 gets extremly hot!..i have my ps3 a lil above where im sitting now(at my pc desk) and wen i play ps3 on my monitor i can NO LIE start to feel the heat from the ps3 after an hour into gameplay..thats y i play for 2 hours then i turn it off cuz i get a lil scared its gonna break..and being that they dont make this model anymore once this system is done for imma have to get a crappy watered down 80gigger =(
The thing noticeably heats up my room when I play it for any serious length of time. That's why I want to get something to help draw out that heat from it more efficiently.
The heat that's being removed from the PS3 is a good thing because it shows how well the console is designed. I never turn my 60 gig PS3 off and it hardly ever get's that hot. I have the cosole standing vertical in a open area.
Guys I think it is okay Some times when I feel like it needs some cooling I have small fan I turn it on to with low speed and I directed to the PS3 Body to make it cooler instead of make aimit to go in the PS3
You could see how the PS3 heat system Work from you tube
Look for: Why the Xbox 360 overheats and ps3 don't.
By the Way Guys don't get 40GB PS3
It has 2 USB- not 4
Or ps2 playback
And the worst is it don't have vents on font "overheated faster"
One more thing
The 40 GB don't have Flash Card Reader
Do you think all that Worth to pay 100$ less than the 60
I have a 60GB and I have it in a fairly closed position. It can get air but its not as good as what some of you people have been saying. I thought they had an alarm in them though, so when it got too hot you knew to turn it off? I've never had anything happen to mine and it seems to run at a constant temperature, like, if you play for 2 hours it doesnt get any hotter than if you've been playing for 5 hours...
