I think the 7000RPM drives are hotter then 5000RPM ones. When I got my 120GB replacement drive, I made sure is the 5000RPMs.
This is what I've heard to be a problem also. The drives run hotter, and consume more power, thereby shortening the lifespan of the unit.

My 40GB fat PS3 ran fine until we found Netflix. Then the PS3 began running 8hr and longer shifts almost every day over a period of the last 3-4 months before it RLOD'd. I'm sure those long running times without cooldown are just dandy on the hardware. :(

I'm fairly certain I went with the 5000 rpm drives to avoid that problem. I still have the box for the drive, so I can find out once I get home.

From what I've been reading, this sounds more like a GPU problem, and I can't rule out the blu- ray drive even though we have watched a few movies on it. Not sure if games stress the drive out more than just a movie.

I'm not sure either. I completed the main game before most of the DLC came out.

Maybe I will have time to find out soon... no Skyrim for me until that patch comes out.

I did finish NG back in the day as well as Battle toads. I don't think I could ever play a game that hard now... I would quickly lose patience.

Not necessarily. They understand this is all fan service. There will be an addendum with real copyright notices and support info. The main docs will refer to the SGM as a Coleco Industries product, and even list the old phone numbers.

I wonder who answers those numbers now...

Not sure. I purchased all of the DLC some time ago when they were all on sale, and I haven't gone back to start the game at a save point where doing those would be useful. I intend to before I play ME 3; there is going to be a long lag between when ME 3 is in my hands and when I play it.
