I'd say the PS3 is more beautiful than hot, but i guess are both synonymous with "good-looking". (Yes, hot hair is completely normal)

No, the hot air is supposed to stay inside, making it nice and cozy for all the little chips and cords inside :) ... until they all melt.

Of course the hot air is normal.

depends where the hot air is coming from, usually on a hot woman, hot air from the rear end is usually not a good thing

Its normal, but if it really becomes a big deal for you, you could buy an intercooler.

Intercoolers don't do crap and actually damage PS3s by stealing power out of the AC socket. The PS3 does get hot and that's normal.

Ye that should be normal, espescially after 2 hours of gaming... although I obviously dont know how hot your ps3 exactly gets but I think you shouldnt be worried :P When I've got my door shut and my windows closed, it can get pretty freakin hot in my room because of the heat my ps3 and tv produce, thats just normal. Though if you rly think it is way too hot, then I should consider sending it back or ask some1 who rly about these things.

But I think you dont have to worry about it, hot air is normal.

The PS3 Slim is one hot *****.

Seriously though, contact Sony. This may be a global manufacturing defect.

CALL SONY NOW.

Call Sony customer service about it or consult your manuel. I am sure that most of the people who posted here (myself included) own the fat PS3 and not the slim. So get those people to tell you if its normal or not y0.

If it does not gives out hot air then its in trouble. Even a PS2 gives out hot air. But you should really clean it of dust sometimes.

Damn, I'm allergic to eggs :P. Anyway, the original PS3 gets 'warm' after an hour of gameplay. I'm not too sure about the slim. Maybe you should email Sony for an answer?
