Uhhh... howcome people are mixing up console failure issues?

Question

i was looking back at old questions and i saw that people said that ps3 caught on fire and overheated and all that c**p. helloooo?(me knocking on their empty skulls.) isnt it 360??? so were those n00bs dropped on their head or somethin? naming a couple: attila, Justin W

my 360 warranty is almost over i am gonna sell it. i'd rather spend $350 on a laptop or pc. i even left my ps3 on for 10 hours cuz i forgot to turn it off and it was still cool-ish when i discovered it(this was in summer too and AC wasnt on.)

Answer 1

Any electronic has a chance to overheat, it could be that there PS3 did overheat.  

Answer 2

PS3s can overheat it's just that it's very rare as for the fire thing it's a lie and the overheat usually happens because of hardware failure not overheat because the system will automatically turn itself if the temperature gets too high.
