Is this the problem with them burning up?

Sony Computer Entertainment America has received reports that certain AC adaptors included with some slim version PlayStation®2 computer entertainment systems have overheated. Not all PlayStation®2 systems are affected.

Sony products malfunctioning? In other news, Al Sharpton is black.

ouch for sony.. cant wait for ps3 and i wonder how in the world they will slim that thing

Oh boy, i have a 2004.11 ac adaptor and a 70012 Pstwo. Ive never really had any problems with it though in terms of the adaptor overheating.

Does it overheat during gameplay or standby? Its stone cold in standby.

 

[MidNiteMysT]

i would assume its during gameplay. its worth sending back tho. free shipping both ways.

yea, thats really rare. plus, this is a optional recall on sony's part. so i think its pretty cool of sony.

ps3 definitely wont be as bad as the xbox with the issues. they didnt try to rush it just to bring it for the holidays which is a good sign.

Thanks for the direct link, I've been meaning to check mine but hadn't searched for the right Sony page.
