[Iceman]

so finaly i got hold of a PS3, the 120GB slim one. after hooking up my HDMI Cable, and inserting PES 2010(it was like 10 pounds lol) i noticed that the system became hot. is this normal, as the hdmi cable also felt hot.

thanks

Not really, I played mine for hours on end and never noticed it hot, just to point out obvious, keep it out of sun, check fans at back for any dust in it, if there is dust suck it out with the hoover or it will overheat fast.

Listen to it when it runs to make sure you can hear the fans working.

could be my ventilaton, so will try to get a fan to blow some cool air into the room. is that advisable, or are their cooling systems available?l

You can probably buy special fans that sit on the PS3 to extract heat faster but having a fan blowing cool air in its direction wont do it any harm at all.
