NES - games wouldn't play sometimes (blowing into the cart, blowing into the drive, and keeping the cart as close to the front of the console while locking it down always fixed it tho)

lol......i cant believe it took 17 posts before that was brought up

isn't that more of a software issue than hardware seeing that you needed to blow off the dust on the cart?

This means your PS3 was overheating. If this continues, I think it just shuts itself off.

Yeah I know. I came to that conclusion.

It wasn't even warm in my room when it happened, so it remains a mystery error.

it wasnt dust tho, it was the moisture which made a better connection inside the system, and that is where the flaw was it wasnt any specific game itwas the consoles ability to read them!

I've had soem serious problems in the past with the original system, the PC. Why can't they get this mastered? The PC should be completely bug free, and all new operating systems should be 10x better than the one before it. Unfortunately that logic eludes Microsoft.

the Cell in my PS3 was clever enough to run out, hotwire my car and shack up in Hawaii

anyone else had this problem?
