a few hours, but dont risk it... u dont wanna wreck your ps3 theyre 2 kewl for that

The new Slim PS3 are very slow to overheat because of some of the changes to the hardware, but the never had a failure rate that would limit play to only a few hours. Sony would have to replace every machine under warranty that had failed. A link to the Wikipedia on the PS3 has been added under related links.

What is the process of the ps3 ylod?

will make it quick and simple. Ps3 overheats sometimes because its running fast and people dont clean the vents or store ps3 in closet or closed spaces where it overheats. When it overheats it melts the solder on the mother board which solders 2 different companants into single via solder bridge. Solution ?! you can pay ps3 people like 120$ to fix it for you but sometimes they send you brand new one and you loose your hard drive with all the saves. Better Solution ?! Do it your self all you need is a philips screw driver take ps3 apart and get to mother board you need soldering gun to unsolder that soldering bridge and it will work just fine. Step by step guidance is provided all over the web on youtube ect.

Is that true if you play on the ps3 for 10 hours it will bust?

No it is not true. How long can you watch TV before it will break. If all someone had to d to break a PS3 was leave it on for 10 hours Sony would be out of business. How about a Computer people use them and they don't break because they are used. Can you think of anything that will break because it is used correctly
