    If the sky starts falling? If zombies come to my house to eat me? If more paranoid thoughts come into my head?

    Oh that's much better than improved architecture and ventilation.

    Heat sensors are normally situated at the CPU core.

    I think it's a good idea, but it may suggest something about how hot it may run, or not. We shall see.

    Guys, you're missing the point of the article. It just goes to show how flippen negative gamers are in general. Geesh.

    Anyways, the GOOD NEWS that this article is showing us is that the console is finally CAPABLE of detecting a heat problem and SAVING your console IF it gets too hot. You should be happy that this has come to light because it's an EXTRA safe-guard that the original console never had.

    C'mon guys. Think positively now and then. It's a nice break for the norm.

    Bad deal.

    Sure, the PS3 has a heat sensor that would shutown the system should things get seriously hot, nearing the point of nuclear meltdown.

    But what it say about your console if you NEED to add that feature as a second-guess after-the-fact?

    look if it's done properly it'll work, plus the new 360 looks like it's better ventilated anyways.

    so an additional layer of security if you will is not such a bad thing.

    Play games, not platforms
