How did I not realize the PS3 vents through the bottom?

So, here is an embarrassing thing. I always thought the only vents on my PS3 were in the back, and diligently cleaned them. But I finally realized there are vents all around the edges underneath. The good thing is that I think I solved my fan problem (I hope). But I feel really embarrassed not to have noticed this years ago.

Yeah it happens, nothing to feel embarrassed about :D, i remember sitting without PC for almost 4 months just because i didn't know about the ram beep issue xD

This is why I stand all my systems up on end.

Well, I believe that it's something that can easily happen to anyone especially when you don't pay that close attention to those kind of things but one day you will definitely find out.
