Is that true about the..... Flip the player so it's not in a vertical position, rather, put it in a horizontal position because you want the CD spinning that way for longer life for the player?? Is it same for computers too, I can understand the concept, but was the ps3 made to be put horizontal or vertical or both?

Outside deck on the 2nd floor is about 4.5 feet from the ps3, and 6 feet from the TV, there is a screen for the patio, but is "TOO" cold bad for the ps3?? I do have a fan I can put in from the other side of the patio, just to circulate the air better around the living room or behind the TV.

It's my friend's ps3, so he's the one taking care of it, I really ought to read the manuals before coming here, my apologies, atleast I can acknowledge this. There's a cleaning kit that came with the ps3? a vacuum of a sort? what kind of cloth may I use to clean the unit, micro fiber cloth, anti-static cloth, ISO-Clean? I guess I'll never be cleaning the insides of the machine, that should be all good?

Another thing I could mention is make sure you hold onto the controller power button for 3 seconds when you want to turn off your ps3. It'll ask if you want to exit/quit shut down the ps3. I don't thinking powering it off is a good thing, esp while running a game/movie.
