  I always cleaned my console myself, but this will save me some time. It's a nice feature.

  Yeah... I just tried this and it doesn't work. The fan test doesn't work.
  
  Edit: Oh, you may want to change your article. This ONLY works for 40GB models.

  Quite honestly this is something all consoles should have. Especially the 360.
  
  Just wait children, consoles are getting more and more like PCs everyday and that's a good thing. We need more technological control over our home consoles.

  If this breaks my PS3, I'm coming after you Tidus04. And I know your IP... I can find out where you live

    That's what I was thinking...why else would Sony not say that PS3's could do this?
    
    Maybe it's kinda risky

      Someone should edit this title so that people don't try this.

  I'm a bit nervous to try it since Sony has never said anything about it.

  Wow, just one more reason to get a Sony Playstation 3 soon, quickly or immediately to add to the largely growing list, the fact that Sony didn't mention this is somewhat perplexing however ?
  
  Maybe like Seproth said it has something to do with risk, if Krunal's PS3 does break, 2 things will happen, it will prove that there is risk involved, and that the policeman will find tidus04 laying dead in the ground in a few days.

  Well...once every six months can't be so bad, right? That's how I plan to do it.

  Sounds fishy, but a cool feature nevertheless. As people have mentioned, why wouldn't Sony announce this feature?

    Because it harms the PS3. I shouldn't have gotten too excited in the first place.

  This is actually one of the obnoxious add ons of the new Sony console that I actually like. It sticks to keeping the system running smoothly, which doesn't contribute to multimedia stuff or video games in general. I'm just peeved how Sony calls their console a video game console and yet it has so much stuff on it, it's hardly a video game console anymore. Anyways.... Not to mention the feature itself is incredibly useful. A for Sony.

    <sub>Entertainment system, than a game system
    
    This harms your system than helps. So i suggest no one does this.</sub>

      Well actually when used in its true context its is the lesser of two evils, in a real scenario the main fan would kick in when the system if overheating... Its then a case of fried console or 5 minutes less on the consoles life, the main fan isn't an issue, it is for this when people are doing it when there is no issue.

      Was the PSX an "entertainment system"? No, it was a video game console.

        _{How that proves anything i will never know. Times has changed, get with the program. Also the PSP is an entertainment hub as well.}
