PS3 warranty voided by... dust?

Yep thats right, keep your console free from all dust because an "excess" of dust will actually void your warranty. I'm not entirely sure what in THE **** Sony thinks they're doing with this one, but apparently the tech support team live in completely dust free houses.

I don't know about you, but I've never seen a well used PC or console that doesn't collect dust like a ****ing overpowered vacuum cleaner.

On another note, I once convinced the gamefaqs xbox 360 board I had broken my 360 by accidentally cumming into the little air vents on the top.

simple answer just buy a can of air from radioshack and clean anywhere from once a week to once a month, that should keep it from getting to dusty.

No but the point is you shouldn't have to clean your console. Nintendo and Microsoft don't do this.

Sony claims this is neglect. Wait...so using my machine as it was designed to be used it neglect now? gtfo.

Maybe we'll all just have to invest in some sort of clean room
