Abhishek. Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 PS3 is not reliable at all, don't buy from USof A, buy from India itself. The BD is extremely sensitive, so i would suggest you to buy from India itself, Letsbuy will have offers anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 no complain??? Serirously??? My stupid PS3 slim decides on the go wheter it wants to read a blu ray or not, so much so i have just stopped using the stupid thing to play blu rays, and use my PC. Games are a pain, i have to check with friends(cycle) disc if they will work and then i buy it, and it is a USA model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikushimi Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 My slim 160 gb model had some issues with the disc eject. The disc wouldn't come out even after multiple presses of the eject button. It sorted itself out and doesn't have the problem now. But you never know when it might come back. Thankfully it was bought from India and is still under warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achilles Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Just exchange your old PS3 for half the price. Nothing's cheaper or better or safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Order from India itself, warranty will give you peace of mind. And if you opt for LetsBuy, then discount will bring the price down significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM Sunny Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 ok so basically Ps3 slim is the baws hardware. My ps3 may or may not shuts down during power cut as it runs on inverter. Freezes are common for me as I use browser a lot, so count that in as a forced restart. Sometimes it won't start a game & display only a black screen. Forced restart. Sometimes it greeted me with 'rebuilding hdd' stuff. All that being said its a sturdy piece of machine, 1 & half years of borderline obsession abuse & it still works like makhaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarbonCore Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 My slim overheats like bitch and makes cracking sounds when I keep it horizontal, like something is melting and boiling inside. The fan makes more noise than my arcade 360, and the HDD sometimes decide to rebuild database on its own. But other than that its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try using this laptop cooler stand http://media.photobucket.com/image/laptop%20cooler/ITechDiary/Hardware/brando_laptop_3.jpg I use the same one and keep my ps3 on it.. Now I don't hear the cracking sound.. also it gives a bit more of breathing space and a lot more ventilation.. Guys give it a try.. totally works for me..

Nah if I keep it vertical then all is well, its only in horizontal position where is starts heating up to the point that I can't even touch the bottom.
