My friend had to send his 20GB Non B/C (The one without WIfi) system in several times for overheating problems.

I'm getting a used PS3, probably tomorrow, pretty cheap. But I need suggestions. Is it at all reliable? How much heat does it generate? I would like a system that will last for at very least 2 years or so until I can save up for a PS4. (I am poor, lol)

Just I am just curious.

Funny thing is this weekend I am getting a used on rather cheap, only so I can have it when The Evil Within launches and next year when Resident Evil Remake HD launches.

Well, something alot of people do that ruins these systems are shoving it into an entertainment center or too close to a wall, then it overheats because the heat coming out of the fans hits the wall and simply goes right back into the PS3. The wall doesn't absorb it... lol.

The Yellow Line represents a wall.

Nah. I'm getting a PS4 soon and I wouldn't even care. Theres enough to play already and since I've waited I now have a small backlog.

...thats because code generators are fake. Everyone knows that. Lmao

@MonsieurX:

Would be lovely if you explained why its a "Terrible Idea".

How do we even know which Xbox he is talking about? He wasn't exactly specific.

Original, 360 or One?

I have to say I highly doubt Resident Evil, Mega Man or Street Fighter could possible "Disappear" like Acclaim franchises only because of their popularity and sales. Devil May Cry and Dead Rising are different stories, and Dino Crisis is already dead.

Don't get me wrong, many would adapt to Nintendo owning them in time, like they did to RE Being exclusive to Gamecube in the early 2000s (Before it failed in sales); but these franchises need to stay multiconsole. Just too many fans in each that would be isolated if it becomes console exclusive.

^This.

I still have a PS1 backlog lmao.
