I gave my ps3 a rest for about a week or two to let it cool down from heating, came back & played uncharted and after about 5-10 minutes it went from cold to extremely hot, making a very loud noise, i dont know if i should get a cooling fan, although i heard some rumors saying fans might actually do more harm then good, i might talk to sony about it, its getting alot of heat though, more of a mircowave then a ps3 lol.:?
