01.) Always get a warranty. 02.) When it first came out I got mine and played it (literally) for over 24 hours straight. If that didn't do it, nothing will.
Yes it is true.My friend have PS3 Slim and overheat very fast.I have the PS3 80GB and i am play for 8 ours and not overheat. But the Slim after 1 our and it is overheat.

Do you know what is overheated? The PS3 is woverheated when the green light begin to flash red and the system shutdown by itself.

Sorry if my coment bothers you but the Slime isnt built the same way as the old models, the slime gets hot on the top wile the old models gets very hot at the bottom.

I was have that problem with my PS3 and i put under the PS3 two DVD cases (the PS3 it is stand over the 2 cases) and after that no overheat at the bottom.Problem solve.;)
its doesnt overheat, but it does get hotter faster, since it doesnt have 3 vents for air to come out on like the phat boy.. I own both verisons of the ps3, so i would know...

I wouldn't feel safe playing it for a long period of time while it's laying horizontally. The bottom of it gets REALLY hot when it's horizontal. When vertical, it doesn't have that problem, though.
Don't be too hard on the OP. I read in a magazine once that Tom Cruise had a screw loose...that turned out to be true ;) As for the PS3...fat or slim...comfortable warmth (my PVR runs hotter) and it is one fine built piece of electronics
I leave my slim on for whole days at a time and it barely gets hot.

mine too, Plus it shares the same space as my amp and 360. Though the PS3 and 360 are never running at the same time. I did go buy a little fan to circulate the air. No problems....
I have the latest 80gb fat ps3 (no BC), it used to be in a bit of a tight space and heated alot, but then i sawed off the back of the place where it stands. Now it barely builds heat even after all day of playing XD.
I have the fat and the slim. neither one gets any hotter than the other. We play them for 10 hours at a time. No problems.

Seriously dude you are lying, the temperature were you live is cold or you have air conditioner unit were you are using it. Come on! since when you use an electronic unit like a PS3 or Gaming pc for 10 hours and it stays cold?
False. I've had my 250GB Slim for 2 weeks now and it's stays on the first fan level and barley gets warm when its on. I play around 2 hours a day on weekdays, and 10+ hours a day on weekends, and my a/c is on constantly at 71.6 degrees faranheit.

Read what he said again.
He didn't say they don't get hot. He said neither of them get hotter than the other.
This means, both his Fat and Slim get hot, but the Slim does not get hotter than the Fat and vice versa; they are the same.

Are you using it in a room with AC? Mines gets warm hot were the power supply is located, the temperature were is live has been very hot these months from 88 to 90.
Reminds me of the time people would post about being concerned about all the hot air coming out of the back of the PS3 in 2006 and 2007 at the playstation.com forums, and I would ask them if they would rather the hot air be coming out, or staying in. Hot air coming out means it's working. The PS2 slim felt a bit warmer as well, but they worked just fine. So do the PS3 slim units.

Yeah my room is airconditioned. Don't worry about the power supply getting hot, its odd for any electronic device not to get hot there.

I slim not get hot after day of playing. Fat PS3 make hot and YLOD very much.Reiji-Arisu
The SLIM has half the components of a fat, the most efficient iteration of the CELL, and uses less electricity. It does not run hotter than a fat. I have a 60GB, 80GB non-BC, and a SLIM.
i have 3 different ps3's....launch 20,upped to 320g, chechlo1 80g, and 120g slim. I feel as though the temp is between 5 degrees or so for all 3...i dont think theres a difference between any really.
I use the hell outta all three too like leaving them on all night or gaming for more then a few hours straight. Just keep em clean and dust free and always do a proper shutdown.

Complete Bull****-Unless he's covering the vents at the back?!
i have my slim since black friday of last year. to be totally honest with u, its been on for 2 months straight now. either i use it for folding@home or live with playstation w.e u wanna call it. and when its not on that i game or watch blu rays. and if im not doin that it goes back to folding @ home. like i said 2 months straight non stop. and i havent seen it over heat.
The Slim feels slightly hotter at the back, which is a good thing because that means it's cooling system is working properly. hrt_rulz01
It only feels hotter because the power supply is located there..there would be a problem if it wasn't warm to the touch. I've been using my Slim for around 6-7 hours per day since it released and I've have 0 problems of it overheating.

The fact you can feel the heat means the heat has been dispersed into the air much better, that's a good thing.

Haha I hope you're being sarcastic because I enjoyed this. After seeing the rest of this thread, I can't be sure though. LOL I was thinking the same thing. I've only had a Slim, so I don't know how hot it gets compared to the fat models.It does, however, get very hot at the top left part(I think that's where the power supply is located.) after only 2 or 3 hours of use. During the first few months that I owned it, it would crash a lot on games like UC2, and it did overheat once or twice. It's been working perfectly for a while now, but that may be due to the fact that I don't play as much and not using the internet browser, which can get pretty unstable at times.
thats not true. my ps3 slim overheats after a few hours and its in a well ventilated area in a room at a decent temp. b00ms420
BS theres is a diffrence between obsessing over your ps3 like a weirdo and walking up to it constantly feeling the back of the unit and noticing its hot, like any normal eletronic would be and your unit actually turning it self off do to overheating. ive had my slim on for 48 hours straight no freezing , over heating or any problems in general this thread is garbage
The PS3 slim does not overheat faster. I've had the PS3 120giger Slim since launch. I play 5 day per week. Compared to my PS3 60giger (2007) The Ps3 slim hasn'toverheated on me. My Phat and Slim PS3's I takegood care of them. The phat series does seem to have way more heat generated when in use. But They haven't died on me. I've also had the PS3 40giger (The "best" model for not overheating of all PS3's) I don't know if that is true? My systems have never given me any difficulty.I've always used My Ps3's horizontal. Never standing them upright. Never had an issue with overheating.
