Seems like a pretty intense stress test as far as temperature goes. I know electronics run better if it's cooler, but 0 degrees is pretty extreme, as is the 120 degree test.

I wasn't too worried to begin with but now I know it wont get too hot and overheat.

It may be tough, but it kicks out some heat! I left my second controller down the right of my PS3... toasty! :D

My PS3 has been in Iraq with me for 3 months now and still runs like a champ. We have gotten to 121 a few times and playing in command tents (where it can get to 144). Take that overheat issues. Plus there is all the dirt and grime to go along with it.

That's also very good to hear. Even with all the dust the PS3 hangs in there.

By the way thanks for all of your hard work in Iraq!

Apparently if the world freezes over or catches on fire the only thing that will remain is the PS3! Kind of scary if you think about it.

And it will be running games perfectly in "eye-blistering 1080p 60fps". :)

The PS3 was designed with use in mind. They designed it to take the heat and keep going. The 360 was designed to over heat anytime all the time. Thats one way to boost your deck sales, make a crappy machine so people have to keep buying new ones :D. The 360 would over heat outside in Antarctica in July (thats the dead of winter in Antarctica :) )

PS3 = good

360 = pile of week old festering camel dung with inch long maggots.

They should have done all of the consoles. See how long the Wii lasts.

agreed. Yeah, I'm glad it can stand the temps. but I'm concerned whenever I pull a game out because it's on fire, figuratively speaking.

Wow, that's the funniest sh** I've ever heard. If your dad read that, he would probably say "You're not my son anymore."

Having a Playstation 3 is like having Hulk by your side.
