[QUOTE="jimm895"]It may be time to get a can of the canned air and use it along with a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust build-up on the electronics in-side the console. I use a swifter on my system a couple of times a week and I never turn the PS3 off and it never has had a problem. One day I will take it down and give it a good cleaning before it does have a problem.jimm895

you've used that canned air before? it doesn't mess nothing up blowing air into it like that?

Just be careful with that (canned air). If you tilt the spray can even a little it will spray out a liquid. I'm no electronics expert but I do know that moister is a very bad thing. Go for the vacuum, I'm gona when I get home.

The liquid that comes out is non conductive and it evaporates almost instantly. When I use the liquid the electronics are dry before I can turn something back on. I have used this stuff in electronics for years (I have even used it in a PC while it's still running without a single problem).

if the vacuum thing don't work, i'm going to try the canned air. what else can it harm really? it was pretty hot in my apartment last night, so i kicked the ac on lower to try to cool the living room down, but that seemed to not work either. once again, i appreciate everyone's help.

Vacuum clean the vents and every orifice that leads to the inside of the machine (except the BR drive)rogerjak

There is a whole lot of stuff going on in GTA. My system runs a little hard at times as well. Its no big deal though.Basejumper1

well i've been playing GTA since monday with no problems, and last night it just started acting funny. i think i just have bad luck w/ electronics. 4 360's, now my ps3 is acting funny. it's like companies don't make their products with as good quality anymore. remember when we were young (i'm 2 8), electronics would last forever. my nintendo lasted forever and old tv's would last forever. we had a tv from when i was like 6 years old that worked still when i was in my teens.

Damn, dude...how hard is it to rip off The Sims or Second Life? I hope they don't pull this garbage with in-game-xmbSoyUnPerdedor

i wouldn't be surprised. they said just recently during an interview that it would be out sometime this year. no date or nothing. it was like a side note to him, like it's not important and the community hasn't been complaining about this forever. "and oh by the way, in-game xmb will be out sometime this year." i would think this kind of stuff would be more important to gamers then, what was in the last update? they added hi-def dts or something. i don't even know what it was and don't care.

1) You guys are complaining about stuff you are getting for free? Inconcevible.

2) Ever heard of phrase "It will be done when it's done"? I'd rather wait for feature complete item than some public released alpha version.

3) Last time I checked you didn't pay 1 million buck for HOME to come out this summer, let it go already.

i'm starting to get tired of sony fanboys justifying everything sony does, but they are first to blast the 360 when something is wrong. i have both systems so don't start the ms fanboy talk. i actually like my ps3 better, but this stuff is really starting to get annoying. they've been making lots of promises and not living up to them. forget about home, where's our in-game xmb? i think their last response, was they promised it would be out sometime this year. which i'm thinking now is complete bs. wasn't home supposed to roll out this year sometime too, and now this? they really need to get their **** straight.

I am starting to get tired of people that just throw "fanboy" around because they cannot argue. I am not excited about Home, but it's even more unreasonable for people to complain about the delay.

edit: hmm guess I am being a bit sharp on the word. Anyways, read my post again, if you think that's being fanboy because I defended sony that's fine, but there's difference between getting tired of hearing about people whining about Home getting delayed and thinking everything Sony does is right. Either way I am not that excited about Home so getting worked up for this is just dumb. BTW, stop labeling people fanboy without good reason.

i never specifically said you were one. your post sure sounds like one a fanboy would write though. why? because fanboys justify everything sony does, good or bad. you know what's really sad about all this? you almost have to say you're not fanboy before you say something, so people don't blast you for being one.

Persoanlly i'd rather in game xmb before HOMESolid_Max13

thank you
