That means absolutely NOTHING. For one, the systems are on for 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week.... Do you normally play this much? Second, the PS3s are usually in an enclosed container, meaning tons of heat build up... Do you keep your PS3s in a bubble while playing for 12+ hours at a time? Third, most of the PS3s are test units, not retail ones... They are usually made before the retail ones are... Meaning, more buggy, crappier quality...
My PS3 doesn't get hot at all, even after hours of play.
JOS!!!! you're here too! Well like he said(dagger89) it really doesn't mean anything especially when you consider the fact that almost no one has reported problems with their PS3's.
I finally got a PS3 and installed linux on it twice (Fedora and later Yellow Dog). The system was, for the most part, on the entire time since I brought it home until about 7 am this morning (EST).
Haven't encountered any problems whatsoever. The system works flawlessly so far.
my ps3 gets heated way fast, i think i can cook an egg on it
Thats interesting... Mine seems fine. Perhaps you should locate it in a more air friendly spot?Quote:

So say what you want but the ps3 is the powerhouse right now.
Thank you for taking time away from your crystal ball to reveal the future to us.
might of been said already i dk dont feel like readin the whole post, but do you know how long the ps3's at the mall are on each day? they are being played ALL DAY EVERY DAY... nobody around us has wii displays cuz ppl could steal the controllers or somethin ... anyways its prolly normal for em to overheat. i havnt found any yet but if i had one i wouldnt play it that much for it to like blow up...the ps3 sucks right now...just like the psp (i have one with 3.02oe-b but for everybody else that has a psp with like regular 3.03 fw it sucks) anyways i finially got a wii at wal mart the other day and i have given my soul to zelda lol so i gotta go finish the water temple...or wutever its called...
As mentioned before, not many reports of malfunctioning PS3's have been declared to Sony. It would seems like the PS3 would have the most problems considering it is the most advanced console yet and they were manufacturing them at top speed over in Asia. I guess Sony did a good job on the launch. (Yet again there were only 300,000 units available...)
