thanks for the answer!, my ps3 im having this problem with Oblivion (used game recently buyed the blueray seems to be in perfect conditions) and with dark souls(i know this game is known with a lot of fps issues but i have more than the rest), when oblivion was lagging i turn off the console and i clear the dust, i noticed that my PS3 was hot on the back and when i try the game again after doing this the game plays well and i have no framerate issues. also this games (not the same bluerays but this games) run better on the ps3 of two of my friends. i will try that of putting 4 cases in the bottom. do you think i should buy a usb fan or a cooler system for my ps3?It doesn't sound like a heat-related problem, although keeping good airspace all around and also underneath the PS3 - I put two DVD cases/game cases under each side, so that there's as much of the bottom of the console exposed to flowing air as possible, so there's a "tunnel" from front to back. Cleaning regularly with a regular household VACUUM applied to the ports of the machine (no opening the unit housing neccesary), not compressed air, as blowing it into the vents just pushes the dust/fuzz/etc further into the unit, is an excellent habit to get into, by the way. So you done-good there.
I'm not a console expert - But honestly, this doesn't sound like a temperature problem. How old is the console, and did you buy it new or used? Do you have pets in your house (as lodged pet hair could be flickering over the laser lens causing it to sporadically hiccup)?And does this happen with all your games, or just "Oblivion"? And have you downloaded all patches for the game?
As much info on the unit's history as you can post will aid us in finding an answer for you. Hang in there, this forum has some really knowledgeable gurus who I'm sure can set you right or get you closer to a solution!
