That fan pushes massive amounts of heat out of the console, which is why small rooms will warmup when you're playing a PS3 in them, or you'll feel warming when theres one close to you(seriously, you can use it a space heater in the winter lol).

The slim PS3s, they don't handle heat as well as the the fat ones, but still you can run the thing all day with games, i know many people that do.

Also, about the 360, theres a reason why over 1/3 of all 360s sold are replacements for broken systems(the 360 carried a 64+% failure rate).
Actually the PS3s suffer from the exact same thing that the 360s did. The "red ring" on the PS3 is the "yellow light" and it's caused by the CPU connection separating and can be fixed in the same way the 360 can. This happened with the original model PS3 as well as the newer ones (in fact it was more common in the original line).

The difference of course is that with the 360 it was orders of magnitude more common. But it did happen with the PS3s as well.

To answer the OP's question though: PC for me.

I prefer playing an MMO on the PC because I have a multi-monitor setup so when I am doing something in game that is a bit more repetitive (gathering or crafting for example) I can watch something on the other monitor. Or if I need to pause mid-game and look something up it's right there as well. Additionally, I don't want to have to hook up a keyboard and mouse to my PS3 and I have no interest in playing with a gamepad.
