» What is the point
PS3 doesn't need a cooler. What is the point of this add-on? Is it for people who leave the console inside the closet in its original packaging?

» Yeah the PS3 is fine the way it is.
I keep mine on most of the time because if I'm not playing PS3 games, I'm running a web server off of it.
Its kept in a good large cabinet and haven't had any overheating issues whatsoever.
They are just playing on the fears of people who think it will overheat like the Xbox360.

» But C-Coach , He Spit in da cooler
No need for a cooler, It runs fine just like it is. Yea it gets hot after six hours of gaming or so but so does my pc. just dont be a dumbass and sit it on the carpet, block the vents or go for months without dusting it. I swear this thing is like an Ionic Breeze it catches more dust that my houses' air filter.

» fan
of course it does, have you seen the big freaking fan inside of it. I saw in a teardown video like a fan that takes up half the room inside the box. Its only one fan too running very slow. Im surprised the PS3 doesnt get even hotter

Having a big fan spin at a low RPM is the only way to move enough air yet still keep the thing quiet.

» *sigh*
i'm sure most of you guys making comments about needing a fire extinquisher haven't even *touched* a PS3, because, if you have, you would know that, surprisingly, the system is extremely cool. even after extended play.
it gets warm, of course, but overheat? no. crashes constantly because of it? no. Nyko is just trying to cash in on a perception that new consoles get hot.
what i find the most ironic about the PS3, however, is that it's actually quiter than a Wii (i have both consoles, and the Wii is louder, oddly enough. you can barely hear the PS3 when it's on, causing you to double check the green light to make sure).
people seriously need to accept that Sony made a quality system this time around (i mean, aside from that one story, how many overheating, crashing, exploding PS3 stories, that were actually true, have you heard? test units and demo kiosks don't count, as those things get run constantly, and are generally enclosed in a tight space). the PS3 is a solidly built piece of machinery, and while i'm sure it'll have it's issues functionality wise, thus far, it's been good. the 360 was flooded with complaints within it's first month, i've hear nary a peep about the PS3 (except for fabricated stories about the PS3 burning houses down).

» Heat shouldn't be an issue
Considering that the PS3 has a cooling system that is more or less the bottom half of the console ;) it will not likely over heat. Plus it has a very efficient blower to help the heat sink spread and vent (sounds almost pornographic).
My Ford Aspire has a smaller fan on my radiator.

» Not really needed, but not like the 360 model
The PS3 has very good cooling already, but anything can be improved. I can't comment on the Intercooler's ability to cool, but one thing is clear: it won't have the power issues that plagued the 360 version.
This device scavenges AC power -- directly from your wall -- before it gets to the PS3. It's no different than using an extension cord. This is a big change from the 360 model, where the Intercooler sits between the AC/DC adaptor and the 360 console, scavenging its power from the already-reduced-and-converted power from the brick. Apples and oranges, here, and this situation is much preferable.

my friends PS3 overheated 30 mins after turning it on, anyone else get this issue? I guess he probably needs a cooler.
