PS3 Console JPN
 NEWS PS3 Overheating Report
«©NCSX» Shares of Sony dropped overnight on renewed concerns about the Playstation 3. According to a syndicated AP Story, bearish traders reacted to a report issued by an analyst at Macquarie Equities which mentioned PS3  overheating problems at the recent Tokyo Game Show. A spokesperson for Sony explained the problem by citing that poor ventilation inside kiosks led to "one-of-a-kind temperature irregularities."
   What we're taking away from Sony's statement is, as long as gamers don't place their PS3 consoles inside a kiosk at home, no one should experience overheating problems. There. Problem solved. Statements provided by corporate mouthpieces are always correct and one must never question the official line. 
   NCS expects to start preorders for the Japanese PS3 tomorrow. We've received details from a pool of suppliers and have enough information to set a price that'll elicit equal amounts of laughter and jaundice.
