less ventilation, long usage = heat. Keep it in an open space.

I've had the same problem with my slim since i got it, it gets hot after 10 mins or so i have to direct the electric fan to the ps2 otherwise it gets really hot and it worries me, but its been like that for a year and i didnt have any problems so its ok now.

I was actually thinking about getting a slim but those things get to hot for my comfort. Instead I pop open my bulky ps2 once a month and blow a can of air into it.

Make sure it has very good ventilation.

That's right. This is the result of a slim console with a too small fan for cooling.
This doesn't happen with the Big Fatty PS2.
Lucky me, I still got mine alive and kicking. 8)

The PS2 slim is hot because he doesn't have the ventilation system the original PS2 has (if you take a look at the back of the original PS2 there's a fan) so don't leave him in closed spaces and, if needed, put him at a open area or with a fan to cool him down.
