There are some crazy people around. This is fanboy one-up-manship gone mad.

Nice to know that I would be able to play my PS3 in the sauna though, never know when that information will come in hand

120F isn't a particulary hot sauna so it sounds more impressive than it really is.

Then again it IS a veruy hot room temperature on the whole. I can just feel the exhaust air of my own system when it's been running folding@home and room temp is 85F at my place. At 120 the plastic casing must start warping hehe..

I wpldn't expect any random PS3 to last in heat like that for a prolonged period of time. Maybe they got lucky with the one they used.
Peace.

Hate to break it to you, but anything below ~175F shouldn't be called "sauna", which should really be 200F+, somewhere between 220-240F is my personal limit for enjoyable sauna (depends on humidity too, ofc), but some like it even hotter

I can't stand saunas. I get all kinds of rendering errors when i'm that hot, i get flickering, banding, all kinds of distortions... Can't be good...

Hope you hid your distortions under a towel. Next time take a sauna-proven PS3 with you, so you dont have to look at other men.

Basically saying, 'hell, the 360 breaks at room temperature, look how amazing the ps3 is'. Impressive yes, newsworthy? IMHO no...









we all know the ps3 is built to a much superior standard. You get what you pay for.

Are you a Finn? At 240F, I think I'd only be able to stand 60 seconds before I go jump in the river. Even dry air temperatures in excess of 130F (like in Death Valley USA), can quickly lead to hyperthermia. And they burn the hell out of my eyes.

Now someone should do it with a 360, just for spite.

I'm afraid to breathe heavy next to mine, nevermind tyring to put that thing in an oven!

240F is quite up there, although our record in our summer gottage is about 248F. It can't really be compared to outside weather where you have to be much longer period of times. In 240F Sauna you stay maybe ten minutes and then go to a lake to cool down and then repeat. Normally our Sauna is about 220F. It sounds more extreme than what it is.
