You probably saw some some stupid video from YouTube. there's no BIGFOOT in GTA:SA (Hell, there's not even a CAT!)
And as for the BigFoot(TRUCK) theres a Monster Truck in Los Santos stadium (collesium) like structure (to the bottom-central-right on the map) and one in San Fierro When you get the Girl Friend who gives you FREE REPAIRS AND PAINT JOBS (Parked outside her GARAGE).

My Slim PS2 does get hot, however not to the point where it is dangerous. I did have to replace a laser once, but I don't think it was related to the heat. I have a v12.

The factory recomended maximum operating temperature of the slim ps2 is 95 degrees f. And how can you tell its overheating? you can tell because it turns itself off and the little red light starts blinking.
Its been around 85 degrees where i live around this time, and I've been only able to play it about 1-2 hours before mine turns itself off. yesterday it was really hot, like 90 degrees, and i couldn't even watch a full movie half the time without being "interrupted". it sux

What an incredibly helpful thread... I wish I knew this existed before I bought mine. Anyway, I have a v15 silver slim PS2 that lasts about 2 hours at most playing any kind of PS2 game whether it's a backup, original, CD or DVD, my slim PS2 lasts for about 2 hours and then it becomes like show and tell except the wait is included, but you are expecting something to happen whether it's boring or interesting.

Hi i was having a problem with my ps2 too. whenever i try to play scarface it loads up very slow and the cutscenes and audio are choppy. im think of making a usb fan to helf circulate fresh air instead of reused air in the ps2. if any one if intrested heres the link http://www.instructables.com/id/E67H7V8QOVEXCFGWQW/. ur gonna have to modify it to fit your ps2 in a way that it will work well.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU USE POWER THROUGH THE USB PORT OR ANYTHING AT ALL IT WILL CAUSE MORE HEAT IN THE UNIT. If you look at my earlier posting, you can see how I just used the fan inside to circulate fresh air by drilling holes in the top of the case just above the fan inside. It's very easy. It also looks pretty cool. my web site is www.themiracleboy.com and it also shows how this can be done. Or Msn message me. Search by email jgspeer@yahoo.com
I'm telling you it works wonders on mine.
