A reflow is more of a temporary fix after the damage has already been done while changing the thermal compound is a way to prevent the damage from occuring in the first place. I've also found the fan noise and system heat depend a lot on room temparture. Bottom line is you want to keep the PS3...

If you're up to the challenge, you can try and change the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU yourself. I did this on my 60gb and it reduced the fan noise significantly. It seems difficult but if you can carefully follow directions it's a relatively simple procedure that will help keep your...

Will do. Thanks for the quick response. :)

Does anyone know if it's possible to price match this deal for Alpha Protocol at Bestbuy since it doesn't show up in the K-mart flyer and is only on the website.

Does anyone know if the "locked in" trade quotes are completely locked in or if there is a chance that they could give you less? I have shipping labels printed with the $25 quote for SMB S&R but was wondering if it's better to ship them or return them since they're not opened. Any help would...

Well yeah, but what I was trying to convey was that the cashier I had didn't have any problem with me getting one game by itself at half price even though he had heard nothing about the sale. There were no calls placed to a manager or anything to check what was going on like others have...

Pretty nice haul today. The glitch was working in Michigan at least until 2:30 pm at two different stores. I even bought one game by itself and got 50% off. 8-) Picked up the following games after 50% off: Army of Two: 40th day :ps3: $20 Dante's Inferno :ps3: $20 2x God of War III...

If you end up finding any Wii Mario games, you can also trade them in for $25 at GS if you buy a new game and then just return that game later. I've done that three times without a problem and got $101 GS credit for all my games. Used that credit to buy Bioshock 2, Bad Company 2, and White...

How do get them to take it in as Nerfstrike 2 because on the case it only says Nerfstrike and there's no "2" anywhere?

For those people who were able to get a $9 trade in at gamestop, what did you tell the cashier? I just traded one in and got only a $6 base credit and they couldn't find the blaster in the system either. Any help would appreciated.

Yes they are. Got the game and guide from BB and been playing for an hour 8-). Man, the CG in this game is insane. Hope everyone enjoys this long awaited game as much as I have so far.

No, he's not alone. I feel the same way and really wish Sony hadn't changed the logo on the spine. I know they're trying to rebrand the system but the spine already said PS3 and the black logo looks especially out of place when you have fifty other games with the old red logo next to it. :cry...

http://gamesthirstarticles.blogspot.com/2009/10/gametrailers-responds-to-gamesthirst.html I know it's a little off topic but here's something I came across regarding the earlier discussions in this thread that some people might find interesting. For me, the article just confirms my beliefs...

How exactly was Halo 3 more original than Uncharted 2? It was basically Halo 2.5 with average graphics even for when it was released, with Gears, a third party game, blowing the visuals out of the water. It's only redeeming quality was the gameplay which was almost exactly like the previous...

The review scores have nothing to with whether or not I'll enjoy the game or not. I'll be picking Uncharted 2 on day 1 and enjoying it no matter what reviews it gets. Heck, despite the bad reviews, I bought Lost Odyssey, Enchanted Arms, Haze, and Conan, among others, and enjoyed playing...
