Chief, my problem is not the freezing...I'm talking about during gameplay...everything appears to be working nomal...then all of a sudden...all controls slow down...like a half second delay on every input...

I'm inclined to believe that it may very well be overheating related...I recently stuck a small fan in front to force air into the intake holes... may have helped or delayed the overheating process...I just gerry rigged the same fan and placed it behind the unit, with the fan blowing out...so it creates a vacuum, somewhat Venturi effect inside the enclosed space, mimicking the effect of the aftermarket fan sold by PS3...hope it's as effective or even better...I'll attach photo
As an update to my little gerry rigging...I am very happy to report that it is working quite well in fact. Very, very significant drop in temperature!!!, as compared to just having fan blowing in front.

Again, the fan is FACING AWAY from the PS3 unit in the back. So the fan is SUCKING the hot air being blown out of the exhaust vent of the PS3 unit.

Whether it will solve whatever problems I have...I am 110% sure that it is definitely running cooler, which is a good thing irregardless
