How long can I use the PS3 before it starts to overheat???

Keep the console in a space where all the vents are free to breath and you should be fine..

People at EBGames don't know **** dont go to them for nothing they tell you bull**** theories.

the guy that told you that is an idiot. I've left mine on for days with out a problem. That is the 360 you need to be concerned about leaving on or playing for long periods of time.

Just make sure the PS3 has plenty of breathing room and it is not in a confined place and you will be fine. And don't place it on the floor if you have carpet!

PS3 is not the 360 where you have to be always worried about hardware probs / over heating... however I never keep it on for days, since i believe its always good to give it a break after hours of playing..

Mine has been on for 2+ straight months now, everything is perfectly fine. So long as theres adequate breathing room for the ps3 it can be left on ... forever. Theres some ps3 systems that have been on since Launch! Honestly employees at gaming stores or in the gaming department of retailers are mostly utterly ridiculous and stupid and don't know Jack.navstar29

Can I ask why you've left your Ps3 on for over 2 months?? Your electricity bill must be huge! Is there any need or reason to leave it on that long?

The same reason I haven't turned my PS3 off in almost a year, when it's not being used it's running the F@H project. As far as power consumption there really isn't that much electricity being used while the system is folding, the cell is running close to it's max when folding and it doesn't get that warm and doesn't consume that much power.

The owner of a store that sold me a 40GB PS3 warned me not to play games on the PS3 for more than 4 hours or I might risk spoiling the console. Can anyone confirm if it will overheat if I play games on the console for more than 4 hours?D-Camo

Going to awesome when we have in game music with the 2.40 update, when it comes out, play Machine fking Head along to MGS 4 or CoD 4 etc! Or maybe some Arch Enemy HAZE! Niiiice!! Do you mind if I add you to my PSN list??

Just buy a mini-fridge, put it next to your TV, and put the PS3 inside it with the cords coming out the door.

Problem solved!

Go for it. I've only got GTAIV at the moment, though. Got my PS3 on listening to Ten Ton Hammer loud as ****.

Cheerz. TTH is one of my favorite MH songs ever, that main opening riff is so fking heavy its untrue! If you've bought the "Take My Scars" single there's a demo version on there thats even heavier!! Raw as hell demo version downtuned to Z! I'll add you later buddy!
