Hi, I got my ps3 for xmas (finally :) but am not sure whether i should keep it in a cabinet underneath the tv. All my other electronic things are kept there, but im not sure whether it is bad to keep the ps3 in an enclosed space. When i got my ps3 and played it for the first 1/2 hour, the back of it (near the power cable port and av multi etc) was really hot! i couldnt really feel the fans blowing like i could on the game cube so i am not sure whether it is a good idea to keep the machine in an enclosed space. I don't mind keeping it on top of the cabinet, but it will have to be positioned horizontally
sorry if i blabbered on for too long :)
p.s. I live in malaysia, does that mean i qualify for the 5 free blu ray movies? no one at the shop i bought it from told me i get free movies so i am just wondering :)

You can keep it there as long as something is open while you're playing. Just don't have anything close to it. I have mine under the TV but the back & front of the cabinet is open. It has it's own shelf with space on the sides so it has some "breathing room". I've felt around next to it after hours of playing & it does get hot but I've had mine for almost a year & have never had it overheat. It should be fine but it would be better in a more open space.
&I have no idea about the free blu-ray thing.

You should never keep the PS3 in an enclosed space. The PS3 needs to be in an open area so that it can get plenty of air flow.
The PS3 can overheat if you keep it in an enclosed area for too long because the PS3 is a console that operates at a pretty warm temperature, so you must give it plenty of air to breath.

I keep my PS3 behind a glass door underneath my tv also, but I open up the door just enough for the system to get some ventilation to prevent it from heating up. When I'm done I close the door until I use it again, plus that it keeps the system free of dust, I have to protect my investment, it was very expensive. Just make sure there is ventilation to prevent overheating.

Oh god no!... Make sure its in an area where it can "breath" Like any console in a closed cabinet they will over heat!!!
However it is very difficult to overheat a ps3 get it out of that cabinet now!

No console should be in a closed cabinet... it will heat up 2 quick. Find somewhere it's very open and good air flow.
The 6 Blu-ray was in the U.S only i believe, Australia had 1 free Blu-ray deal going.... Check the Playstation web site in your reagion.
Oh... and Welcome to the club, c u online.
