    Man there are no flashers... now what are we going to do for vd
    I'm sure there's plenty of prostitutes you could pay if you really want vd.
    yea but will they take psn cards
    Depends on what area of a hooker you would use to redeem them.

          is it a little bit dusty? did u clean it regularly? no way it should be overhearting unless u leave it on for 5-6 hours everyday.

            I dusted this thing more than my furniture. I have never watched a movie or played it for more than 2 hours at a time. I did notice it was extremely warm to the touch. 1 more question. I did not delete my psn profile hoping they let me swap HD. If I swap HD do I still need to delete info

              Make sure you have clearance on all sides and it is not on a carpet at all. If in an entertainment center, make sure you have the front open for ventilation.

                    i dont think they will let u swap HDD. if they do then u dont have to worry about deleting it but if they dont then u need to delete it yourself or else whoever \ uses it next can access your information.

                    if u cant turn it on at least pull out the HDD and insert it back in because then the HDD will have to be reformatted again. therefore everything is wiped clean.

                      The [Cusswords] at Best Buy would not let me swap my HD. They wanted to charge me $50 The Geek Squad. I lost everything.

                      I bought the system on 12-6-09 They let me get a new system so all was not lost. The date on the new system is Feb 2010

                      Thanks Best Buy SUCKerssssssssss

                            I noticed my slim getting pretty hot, even though it has plenty of space on the sides and top. So what I did is put it on a trivet to let air get underneath it as well, and it actually doesn't get quite as hot now.

                              Koshi, are there air vents on the bottom? I never noticed any.
