PlayStation 3 gets an Intercooler

Nyko Technologies, a premier peripherals manufacturer, announced that they will be releasing the Intercooler for Sony's PlayStation3 computer entertainment system this holiday season. This device easily connects to the PlayStation 3 using patent-pending technology that works with the systems power port and vent system. Once attached, the high-efficiency external fan placement dramatically increases internal air flow and allows the console to run at optimal temperature levels. The Intercooler for the PlayStation 3 will be available between $19.99 and $29.99 at major retailers.

The PS3 cannot catch a break! Didn't they release the 360 Intercooler a month after it launched ?

Something like that, I can't remember the exact time. Gotta love it when these third parties try to catch in on all the third party accessories.

I bought the 360 one but it created too much noise. However it does make me think my 360 is quiet now without it.

Also look folks, whether it's a PS3 or 360, if you think it's gonna overheat...BUY A WARRANTY.

Chances are it'll cost about the same and if it does break you simply get a newer and better version of the console you buy. Seriously folks do you really want to hold onto an overheating console if it's bound to fail eventually.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely getting a warranty. Gamestop and EB Games offer those, right? I know Best Buy does but I have no idea where I'll be able to find one.

Paid $50 for my 360's warranty and will definitely buy one for my PS3 as well.

The Wii, well I'm undecided on that..It's basically a gamecube with a new controller. COntroller may need a warranty though ;)

I pity the fool without a warranty. I also have that cooler for my 360 but its mad noisy, well I stopped using it and my 360 is fine, even after 20 hrs continuous play. Nyko is really trying to make lots of money of this thing. I wonder if it's even needed.

[Grown Folks Talk]

it sells off of the hype created by media and fanboys. if you take care of your stuff properly, you shouldn't have to worry. (minus already defective units of course)

[Marriot VP]

Donkey, I think your household family or whatever will need a warranty to for being hit with it.

"Tiger woods yall (swings back)....*BAM*"

[BIadestarX]

Based on the news about PS3 overheating... Sony should bundle one of this on each PS3. Just kidding.. hehe

[Grown Folks Talk]

he can tell us all how the ps3 will burn our houses down, and to get the nykon intercooler before we are sadd and pathetic. just kidding ssj, don't come back.

[Daewoodrow]

If Nyko keeps this up Bill Gates and Ken Kuturagi will stop arguing for a while and team up and pool their cash for an army of hitmen to destroy Nyko.

wouldnt waste money on that cr@p

my 360 is 2 month old and it just stopped reading disks for some reasons, if i send it to MS would they charge me, and if they charge how much will i pay. my gamer tag is RONALDINHO07 incase someone try to flame me.

[FeralPhoenix]

Excuse my skepticism but didn't you just post this on another news article less than an hour ago,

i am sorry but the 360 doesn't have not even to AAA exclusives out tight now, just name me 2 AAA game out for the 360 right now.

Also if you really did buy a 360 less than 2 months ago, and you read the warranty then you would know you have 90 days from the date of purchase for FREE repairs. Given your comments if you really do have a 360, I don't know why you brought it because you sound like you don't like any of the games, that or either you like all the non-AAA games it has to offer, or maybe you should stop using your friends "RONALDINHO07" gamertag 'cause you're making him look bad.....and with "Sonyfanboy" friends like that who needs enemies. lol

[DC RID3R]

just bring your machine with the reciept to the shop you purchased it at!!!

otherwise, your gonna have to wait for at least a week if you follow the ms route.

[ahmedbagoun]

do you know how much paper came in that box. oh, and i play Fifa06, GRAW, and HM:BM, and GRAW is the only games with good graphics and gameplay, and story line, out their beside Oblivion, and too bad that non of them is a 360 exclusive so, iwas right.

[Say's you]

They already said that the PS3 is as quiet as the Xbox 360 if any console that needs an intercooler that would be the 360 itself knowing thats what the "buzz" is all about right now and of course the Gears of War

and further more has anyone noticed? besides me that Gears of War is getting more attention then Halo 3?.
