Want to ask if there is external cooling fan kit for PS3 Slim like the one for PS2 slim. I'm planning to get PS3 soon. Been reading about PS3 slim overheating and yellow light of death (one reviewer on Amazon claim that his unit exploded. I don't believe, but still a bit scared) and want to know if there are preventive measures like fans for the console. If got, where to buy.

ps3 slim is still viable choice...

i dont think ps3 will explode anytime soon (u believe one, instead of many ps3 users out there enjoying their games)... as for ylod on slim... too soon... the new ps3 still considered quite good compared to old ones

u just need a good place for the ps3...

1. I used Samsung T240 24" LCD monitor which supports HDMI/DVI/VGA input. Picture quality is great, and so far I didn't encounter any problems.

2. No, the analog audio output on the PS3 is only in stereo via the RCA Red/White cable output. Unfortunately, the only option you have is only the optical audio out in order for your 5.1 amp to be able to decode and segregate the 5.1 audio channels.

Thanks for the reply sifus!

I'm just worried because you know how bad Malaysian heat is, especially in the Klang valley, without air-cond.
