The bottom of the Slim gets pretty hot, which causes the surface underneath it to trap heat. Everyone should get this to make sure that their PS3's motherboard won't crack or melt. (causes YLOD).

@owhsht310 Wth are you talking about? Even if you kept it at a nice temperature, the motherboard WILL warp, it's normal, the YLOD is from the solder balls under the chips, they're made with lead free solder. The reason for making cooler and smaller chips? So that the temperature change isn't so erratic that in a few years the solder balls will become brittle, shatter and stop making contact. If you care for your PS3 Slim, you'll keep it at least a foot away from everything in all directions...

[owhsht310]

@SlotPoint Apparently, a foot radius wasn't enough for my phat PS3... :'(

@owhsht310 tell it to join a gym

Are you telling me that the PS3 slim can't stand vertically without a stand?! Fuck this bullshit. I just ordered a PS3, but I already had to buy an aditional HDMI cable, and now another stand? Fuck! I should've sticked with my Xbox 360, way cheaper and it can stand any way you want it to plus it comes with an HDMI cable. Oh well, my PS3 will come in this afternoon, curious what it's like.

[malteeaser101]

@aapinator Well it is kinda physically impossible for the a object that thin and wide to stand vertical, and it's not meant to stand vertically really.

[QueenJamesXXIII]

@aapinator yeah, go on with red dot or red ring of death.

MRKRAZY1870: the system are made to be vertical so i dont know what the Fuck your talking about. no good no good.

I have the same stand works great

[slomarik]

i need to get this

[iScReWFaCe]

I have tried both and the are both the same...

[08marron08]

I use this PEGA stand for my ps3 slim, It is almost practically the same as the official ones, but its cheaper tho...

[MRKRAZY1870]

this is not good for your ps3 ...no good no good

[iplay360]

I did think about that as well... But I couldn't find the licensed stand anywhere in any local game shop around my area. Only thing I could find was this. Plus, it is just a stand. As long as it helps support the console its good enough for me.
