They were still bleeding money on this expensive system and they had to bring that price down to get more buyers.

Oct 25, 1, I'm going to go out on a limb and say money is what drove a corporation to make a decision. Cutting stuff saved money, at one point they wanted to resell you those same games, they wanted you focused on buying new games, etc. Ricky Member. Oct 25, The Spoony Hou Member. Oct 27, 2, Brazil.

However, I noticed that while emulating PS2 the fan is working really hard. I adjusted the cooling settings with Webman and got myself a cooling pad, but the question is different: is it worth it? If emulating PS2 puts so much pressure on it, maybe it's better to avoid it? I don't want to set my system up and have it die on me in couple months due to the PS2 emulation, which I can easily do on my PC instead.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Agrippa , Mar 25, It is higher because as I said, the emulator acts as a guest OS on the firmware so disables many regular system functions. You can read more about PS2 emulation here.

Long story short; it won't damage your PS3. While the sound of the fan may be alarming, it is doing its job in keeping the system cool which is the important thing. Don't worry about it shortening the life of your PS3; official PS2 Classics from the PS Store use the very same emulator - the CFW version is in fact a modified version of this official software emulator.
