Is your PS3 a dust-collector?

Mine is shoulder high (bottom of PS3) on it's side, on a wood shelf.

It's as clean as the day it was taken out of the box and I've never had to dust it in any way, other then to run my finger along the edge to see what all the fuss was...

It has no dust.

Physically mine's clean as a whistle. Gaming-wise it sure is a dust collector.

I took one out of the box a week ago. Its filthy already. I dunno whether its what its made out of, or that its got more static inside or what the cause is, but a defininite yes.

Interesting I wonder if it's carpet or wood-floor related also?

I have wood-floor. One room upstairs is also wood but around the TV/DVD player there is stacks of clothing and subsequently the TV/DVD get's very dusty. The PS3 has nothing material nearby..hmmm...

No more than anything else around it, but I think any dust stands out more on the PS3's surface compared to most others. I have a 360 right beside it, and both collect the same amount of dust, it's just more noticeable on the PS3 because of its shiny finish I think.

I should say, though, we're not talking about a lot of dust. Just a tiny bit that might gather between cleaning (every week or so). I've a wood floor too, and if it makes any difference in terms of dust resting on it, I keep my PS3 vertical.

I took everythign out of my playroom before i set it up so there was 4 bare walls painted and a wooden floor , then i put in a 2 seater a glass stand a surround sound xbox 360 playstation 3 and a 42" plasma thats it . and the amount of dust on the PS3 is ridiculous i dont know where its coming from the room was spot less and its only me in there a few hours a week .

Mine's a dust collector in both senses of the word.

take the dust away and have it analyzed!! forensics will tell you who owns it!!! if it's gathering so much dust you've got too wonder where this dust would accumulate where it not for your PS3, death by dust-injestion! :eek:

Well as soon as i took it out of the box it pretty much stuck ever piece of dust in my house to it!!

Gran Hermano

Maybe they're hungry for (original) games and eating dust as a substitute

Well its this stupid shinny black stuff they keep making things out of the psp was the same , you only have to look at it and its filthy

Mine actually isn't gathering any as I have I don't have it lying on its belly. I find that if you leave it on its belly it gathers a serious amount of dust.
