This shows that the PS3 is a good piece of hardware. They were putting it under a lot of pressure. Pretty interesting. Makes me feel good knowing it wont break. They basically let a PS3 run for 108 hours straight in a sauna 100 degrees Celsius and in a 0 degrees Celsius area and in a normal area (I dont know if it was 108 hours in each place or all 3 combined). It never failed. Thats pretty cool. I dont remember everything about the link but if it comes up tommorow, check it out.

I know a way to destroy it. When it's updating, unplug it before it finishes.

Very good read. They tossed it in a freezer van and a suana and it's still running fine now. That's a nice peice of hardware. I'm not really scared to leave mine on overnight, but won't leaving it on for extended periods of time dimish it's last time?

I love this. This story helps to reassure to everyone, especially early adopters, that their PS3 can stand the test of time because nobody wants to have to spend any extra money on their hardware.

That's not true, you can do it when it's downloading, just not when it's installing

I would like to see this done again, but documented a little better. Some video as well to go along with it.

Maybe we can get Sony to ship one to us free of charge so that we can run some tests :P

That's great to hear. When I 1st bought my PS3 I kept it running for almost 2 day (folding), but I stop doing it.

This is actually amazing. A piece of hardware that survived 108 hours in a heat sauna :o We can call PS3 "the console that survived" XD

Go to this site or go to youtube and watch it. Those guys go on launch day for all of the 3 consoles and smash it in front of everyone. They also had an iPod one. On a side note, they actually make money because people donate it to see the stuff smashed.

This shows that the PS3 is a good piece of hardware. They were putting it under a lot of pressure. Pretty interesting. Makes me feel good knowing it wont break.Chaos_Bladez

To put that in perspective, here's a story from a while back of what happens when you put a PS3 and Xbox 360 in a closed space together

Since it doesnt work, they basically let a PS3 run for 108 hours straight in a sauna 100 degrees Celsius and in a 0 degrees Celsius area and in a normal area (I dont know if it was 108 hours in each place or all 3 combined). It never failed. Thats pretty cool. I dont remember everything about the link but if it comes up tommorow, check it out.

actually c-4 is not set off by fire, hell you can actually cook with it,

c-4 is set off by either A. high inpact, do not hit it with a hammer or shoot it.

or B. electronical shock (electronical impact like a surge or something.
