How to Clean the Dust Out of a PS3

First, power down and unplug your PS3. Use a can of compressed air to blow out the dust from the vents. If you're feeling adventurous, open up the top cover carefully and use a small brush or more compressed air to get to the internals. Be gentle and mind the electronics!

Unplug your PS3 and give the exterior a good wipe with a microfiber cloth. For the vents, grab a can of compressed air and blow the dust out. Works like a charm without needing open-heart surgery on your console.
