its a fan test, probably somthing sony techs use when they get a ps3 in for repair or whatever, maybe a check that happens before they leave the factory? who knows its use really.

as for the cleaning part...rofl

I used this method on my 60GB and it worked quite well. I clean my place every single day and I was surprised at the dust that came out of it.

lol, what did you expect to see? A cloud of dust? As for helping clean it out a little I would personally take the above method over compressed air any day. Also how often would you do this? Every six months? Once a year? Its not something that hurts it, you are just turning it...
I can't say that this will make your PS3 faster but it did quiet mine down a little

How would a fan moving burn up your CPU / GPU? That just makes no sense.

no not a cloud of dust, but it wouldve been quiet simple for him to zoom in on this dust that came out of his console and show us a shot of it

Thanks for the info. I do always worry about there being to much dust.
