I've noticed this too. My PS3 isn't fully overheating but it makes much more noise than it usually does after playing for about an hour.

 

Well, with all the complaints and comparison to the Xbox 360, I have been comparing my old 360 to the PS3.
It does seem to get pretty hot(at least on the outside). People say that the 360 makes noises like a helicopter, but the PS3 seems to make hell lotta noise too.

No fanboy, I dont give a fuck about Sony or Microsoft. Just saying..

It might be that something is wrong with my PS3 unit, but it seriously makes shit load of noise and gets hot pretty quickly. Slim 320GB by the way. My problem is unrelated to newest firmware however.

 

On one side there are hackers at large troubling Sony and on the other side, this. Poor guys.

 

...My PS3 last night turned off and made 3 noises.

I was using it for a long time though...

Wonder if this is due to the update...

 

probably it is checking too many things or working harder and hence the heating. Bugs are normal especially after a fix that is completely new or redesigned occurs.

 

PS3 : Problem Sucker 3000

 

Sony is only thinking about Cash, Cash and CASH. Remember the words they said when they revealed the PS3's launch price?? I hope you didn't miss it or forget it.

Sonys Ken Kutaragi "We want consumers to think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one'. We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else."

They only want money, all I wanna say is that they don't really care about us.

 

My PS3 didn't YLoD. I just turned it on again and it worked fine.

As in, it shut down, I didn't know why and 2 seconds later turned it on again.

 

My PS3 has always been kind of bad with heating, but Red Dead Redemption seems to be the only game that causes it to overheat badly. I'm gonna go ahead and say that the ball was dropped by the developer, and not Sony. Maybe the game is just too damn complicated, and they tried to do to much with the PS3 version.

None of my other games seem to stress out the system as badly as Red Dead Redemption. This is on the 100 something GB Slim model. Maybe Rockstar should try a little harder to test their games in all respects.

Don't blame Sony for this. I highly doubt that they are at all to blame for this one. As fun as it is to jump on the ignorance bandwagon, I would recommend actually reading the article and creating your own interpretation of events.

 

my ps3 is also really loud, not like before? So what do we do for now? Any solution?
