    My PSP3 unit heats up easily and shuts down because of it. Is this normal?
    Even with just having the unit turned on for less than 5 minutes, the monitor will pop a message that the PSP3 unit has grown hot and needs to be shut down. We recently bought this unit just a month ago. What could be the reason behind this? Our place is airconditioned and we make sure that the unit is placed in a cool place and not cramped which may cause overheat.
