I was just taking out all my anger.
BY IVEALWAYSGOTMAIL10 AT 07:07 PM This is my ps3,
I wiped the system off before i sent it in,
Fact is that Almost any Desktop computer's Vents look about as dusty as the inside of the vents on my system, And the PS3 is a very glossy console that has a vacuum like fan system inside of it that creates static electricity, attracting even more dust.
So Guys, Anyone who says i should have cleaned it more, Exactly what do you think i should have done?
Compressed air voids the warranty, And im not going out and buying a mini-vacuum just to vacuum off my ps3, I have a Dyson and from what I've heard from the techs High powered vacuums also void the warranty.
How is one supposed to clean the inside of the memory stick and sd slots? And the USB ports?!
Again, The system did not "go to burning man", and No matter what anyone says i took great care of my system, I LEFT THE MMC READER CLOSED! It was NEVER OPEN I didn't use it!
Computers, Receivers, Tivos, Dvrs, ps2's, All of those things get very dusty very easily.
The ONLY Contributing factor to the mass amount of dust other than my dead skin, and the air around me, was that I ran FOLDING@HOME , Which (for all you non-ps3 owners) Is a computing project that you can set to start when you ps3 is Idle, It runs 24/7 Using alot of CPU and spinning the fans (collecting dust) in an effort to use the worlds computer power to research ways to cure diseases like Alzheimer's, using simulations of foling proteins.)
FOLDING@HOME IS INCLUDED with the ps3 firmware, Maybe They should bring to the attention of the world the fact that It may in fact be the cause of the end of your warranty.
Again I 100% Beleive that the contributing factor to the amount of dust is because the system was left to run Folding@home Computations almost 24/7.
Maybe sony should send out some SD CF and MS Slot holders to stop the dust from getting in, maybe some slot cleaners and a Mini dirt-devil to come with your ps3? this is absolutely ridiculous.
The ps3 was Kept Indoors, in an entertainment center, a Quite CLEAN entertainment center, that still has a very faint half circle of dust where the ps3 use to sit.
