Playstation 3 Uses Too Much Electricity

Playsttion 3 is WAY too hot for its own good!

Playstation 3 may well be too hot for it's own good according to some owners who are having problems keeping it cool

In all fairness, the games console is not the only electronic item at fault here, pretty much everything from the VCR, DVD Player and any Hi-Fi equipment throws out a huge amount of excess heat

The root cause of the problem is not necessarily that electronic kit is creating more heat, it has much more to do with the fact that we have LOTS more gadgetry in the same spaces that housed a lone Playstation and a VCR not many years ago

Most of us do not have lots more space than 5 years ago, unless we've been fortunate enough to have a house with a large den for keeping an using all the fun stuff in the house. Even then we are probably cramming more kit into the same cabinet or more likley, simply stacking the next new item on top of the last!

The results vary for each different owner, but commonly we see room temperature rising and electronics overheating and causing the electronic toys in our collections starting to malfunction

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, it is a fact that Playstation 3 consumes 8 times as much power as Playstation 2. That's really greedy! So we have kit that wants more power and is causing overheating and failure, so what can we do about it?
