And how do you clean it? Ive had my PS3 for about a month and didn't clean it till a few days ago and saw that it had collected quite an amount of dust. It's on the carpet 24/7 so thats part of the reason. I thought to myself though if I had left it for a year, it would probably look like that dudes PS3 that was denied a refurbished model.

I wiped it down but Im definitely buying some compressed air for the spots I couldnt get

Oh whenever I've got the vacuum cleaner out. Nothing better than a suction cup sucking all of the dust away, and sometimes the cords as well.

Same here. The only excuses are: if it gets really dusty all of a sudden or my kitten jumps on it.

When I am not using it or playing any games with it, I place a cover over it to prevent any dust settling on top. Whereas to how often I clean it or dust it, depends. :P

i actually just got finished cleaning my ps3 and my tv. I usually just use a dry cloth, but since its been a while, i used a dry cloth and some good 'ol Pledge polish. Needless to say it looks brand new :P....Minus a few minor scratches here and there...

It varies but probably once every couple of days...Sometimes I clean it more than once in a day....

I am a neat freak.

I'd get rid of dust every two days or so, usually putting a soft cover when not in use.

It takes about ten seconds to do so, I really see no excuses not to clean it for weeks or months... unless you travel in which case you can cover the console.

i clean mine everyday after hours of playing with it. What i do is blow into the open vents on my PS3 to get any dust out .. then cover my PS3 with the cloth that it came with overnight to prevent dustbuild up.

Everyday. I wipe it with a lint brush and I have a small electrics Vaccuum so I clean the vents with that. I make sure to take care of my Electronics. Same goes for the Wii and Xbox 360 I have. Everything stays clean.

Never. Regular use and a clean room keeps a majority of dust off of it.

Use a static cloth and a glass cleaning cloth, and maybe a little bit of a liquid to help. Makes it shine better than it did when my friends took it out of the box.
