As Ben always says, graphics are not the main point in his judgment on games even in the next generation games, but I personally like amazing breathtaking graphics like Uncharted. That's why I do like you

Actually, always fully discharging Lithium-Ion batteries is not always the best. You can partially discharge them every so often and then recharge them because in the long run, they won't start to decrease as fast and top out at a lower rate. Read up on it.

For those that want longer USB cables, I highly recommend them and if you can find them, go get those heat-sensitive controller skins that come with the long USB cables at Toys R Us or even Target. I've gotten mine for 0.98 each because of being on clearance. I threw away the skins and kept the USB cables so that I can sit far back from the set and still keep them charging while playing.

We can't guarantee that your system would break but if it does get clogged with dust, you can have several types of failures or malfunctions. A high amount of dust can cover the fan and this can either result in poor cooling or even lock up the fan, which would be very bad for the internal components such as the cell BE and GPU. Also, too much dust on the PCB can cause shorting of components on the motherboard. Again, this isn't a guarantee but these things can happen. Look at the area around your system and see if dust does accumulate there. Dusting around and even using a can of compressed air every so often can help prevent from getting dust clumps inside your system. It's like caring for your home PC. I have filters in my computers which get rinsed out and keep my system pretty much dust free. Haven't had any computer failures in the many years that I have been building them. I hope this information helps you.

I'm the type who is lazy to open and close my gadget so if I just dust it outside is it enough?
