Right after I got my PS3, my coworker said it would overheat and die

Posted by Jazz Inmate on October 4, 2007 at 18:39:00:
I regretted my decision, but I couldn't bring myself to return it. I figured I'd get an aftermarket fan kit to install.
Seven months later of near daily use--BDs, DVDs, games--we're talking several hours many times per week and the thing has never had so much as a hiccup. Survived without overheating the entire summer. I keep it on my bottom shelf, which is glass. Not exactly the best ventilation down there. Never did get that aftermarket fan.
The Sony bashers love to talk about the PS3 overheating, but the fact is that the failure rate is phenomenally low and pretty much a nonissue. The thing is well designed and well built. There's no denying that. The cell processor is a great chip. The parts used add up to hundreds of dollars greater cost than you pay for the thing. And if you keep it in your closet that's perfect. You won't hear the fan noise.
