cover it when its not in use to keep the dust off

vacuum the vents once a week......that is all.

I give it.....love?

ive had my ps3 for like, nearly 4 years and i have never done anything to maintain it.

The 40GB hard drive is only just starting to fail. But its still running fine most of the time.

Every week I go over the vents with a hand vac and polish up the exterior with eyeglass lens cleaner and a soft cotton T-shirt.

I put it next to my brothers 360. That makes it feel better about itself.BrianB0422

EPIC ROFL!!!!!!

I keep them very well ventilated and my 4 different models have never had any probs.

And the PS3 counsels your brother's 360 on how to work long-time without failing.

Every 5-7 minutes I rub it down with a nice scented massage oil, and every first tuesday of the month I take it completely apart and dip all the pieces into alcohol:roll:...........but really I wait until it is dusty then I take a soft shirt and wipe it off

I tell it stories, rub its tummy and keep it from playing terrible games. Oh, and I try to keep it in an open space for it to breathe, as you see the PS3 is claustrophobic andwill have an asthma attack if it's confined in small areas.

I just usually wipe it off so it doesn't get dusty.

All my systems are well ventilated and I try to dust my systems and shelf when I really notice the dust and I cover my HD consoles with a pillow case when it's not in use.

I just dust mine once a week and keep it in a place with lots of space so no heat builds up.

usually i have to hit it a few time with a hammer to get to work and once in a while when the game freezes on me, i would take a torch and unfreeze it.

don't ask me how i take care of my 360...

Clean the dust off like most things in my apartment..

Well wow, kudos to you OP. I care for mine by turning it on when I want to play and turning it off when i don't. The end.

Yea....you really don't need to be replacing your thermal compound every month. Artic Silver will last you a good 3 years + if you applied it correctly. If anything you risk screwing something up sooner or later on your PS3 taking it apart and putting it back together so often....but it's your investment.

Personally, I just replaced the thermal paste on my launch 60GB a few months ago, I always keep it well ventilated, blow the dust out with compressed air every so often, only play for 1-2 hours at a time, and never play during the summer when/if my room gets too hot.

60GB is still going strong.

i just dust it off with my hand once in a while..if it does break down at some point (i do smoke a lot in my room) ill just get another new one, its not like they still cost an arm and a leg like on launch..

i just dust it off everytime before i play my ps3. my ps3 still in good condition until now. bought it on july 2008. i'm studying in university now, so when i'm not home, i just wrap it with clothes to prevent dusts.
