Basically, you can get the fans to clean itself (and test). It's a little-known built in feature on the 40GB PS3's (Yeah, only works on 40GB)

Tried it on mines just now, it works. Pretty nice. I remember having to use my vacuum cleaner/air can to get rid of the dust on my PS2. I thought I'd have to do the same for this, but looks like I don't

My Xbox just doesn't collect dust.

Dunno, probably cos it's the newest SKU

Yeah, instead it has a big power brick, and no internal Wi-Fi, and has a enourmous failure rate

Yeah same... It's weird
Its like the dust is attracted to worse, less attractive and less useful consoles, such as the PS3.

Yeah... it's weird how the PS3 doesn't have high failure rates either. It's like failure rates are attracted to things like the 360.

ah burn (don't worry 360 users, I don't actually hate your console)

I do try.

And bleh failure rate, out of about 40 people i have on XBL, only one has had problems.

And that's Gunslinger, so he probably tried to wire it into a Bradley or something stupid.

And about said power brick, i don't care, ive hidden all la cables, and i don't need wi-fi, when i have it directly cabled to a 8mb connection.

Ha.

Even though I own an XBOX360, that is the end of discussion. PS3 wins just because of that awesomesauce game.

Snake needs to get rid of that 'tache, just because he's old doesn't mean he has to don a stereotypical old mans tache...

Are there any memory card readers?

4 or 2 USB slots?

Go to system settings, and check the size of your hard drive.
