Considering her history with electronics, I'm not even sure if that's true.

Agreed.
Also, if you know your PS3 is going to overheat due to the fact you run it non-stop, go to the thread and look up how to keep your PS3 running well. Get a fricken laptop cooler or something to keep the system running at temps that aren't too high. Especially if you're one of those crazies that play non-stop for like 16 hours straight.

Even if you fix it, the equipment isn't absolute fail if you broke it.

What do you think constitutes normal PS3 usage?

Not sure, but you can totally feel the heat after around 5-7 hours. (At 4 it's not too bad, but still a little warm).
Laptop coolers + not enclosed areas will probably help a lot.
And it's not just the PS3 that takes damage if it's too warm. Check the back, output cables are positioned closed to the vents. Sooner or later, those cables will take a little bit of damage. It's a 20 dollar preventative measure. Just like the 10 dollar fan they used to offer for the xbox360. It's the same concept as a pc. If you push that piece of machine for a long period of time, stock cooling just isn't going to cut it.
AoG:
i just set up two mini fans over my ps3. I have had many 24hr gaming marathons and never had any ylods. I also keep my ps3 in a well ventilated area that with the two fans keeps my ps3 cool. Also slims seem to run cooler the fan comes on much less and it doesn't run as loud when the fans on. But since you have a fat ps3 i would try and keep it in a cool well ventilated area and either buy a laptop cooler or a little fan should do the job.
