How to take care of PS3
Xtras:
If I were to get a can of compressed air and direct that into the vents or blu ray disc reader to try and flush out any dust that might have already accumulated, would that damage anything on the inside? It didn't disturb anything in all the times I tried it with my PC, but...
Nikaido:
It shouldn't but don't forget to get a q-tip and some alcohol, and clean the lense. I had to do that for my refurbished PS2. I got it and the thing was so damn dirty it would only play Z.O.E. and Bully. I couldn't get my gameshark to work on it or any other games. So I got a compressed air can, opened it up and cleaned it out. There was a shit load of dust. But once I cleaned the lense with a q-tip it worked perfectly.
Although it does play dvds in Spanish as a default. I hate living 6 miles from mexico. -_-"
NOTE: this is experience with a PS2, not a PS3 so don't take my word on it.

air tight vacuum, 50 degree F, and you should be good to go. I would have elaborated b4. but i was in the middle of raiding in wow.

I've had my 40GB since just after they came out and I don't do anything special with it. Since it's so quiet, I've left it on for over a week several times by accident. If it hasn't by this point, it'll probably keep working until it's so old it doesn't matter anymore. PS3s aren't ticking time bombs like the X360.
