  Still, it looked very bad. Representatives from Sony were all over the place during October stating that there weren't any overheating issues and many gamers were sceptical.
  
  To make things worse for Sony was the recent recall of the lithium ion batteries, which are mostly used within there Vaio Laptops. The batteries were overheating and bursting into flames! This resulted in a massive recall of nearly seven million batteries being returned, and this was a massive financial blow to Sony. Critics commented that Sony was actually aware of this problem but didn't act quickly enough, and if they had, the recall may have been avoided. Taking all this into account, it did effect Sony's reputation pretty badly, combined with the overheating demos at the Tokyo Game Show looked much worse. With batteries exploding and the new PlayStation console choking away, many investors decided to pull out. At that time, Sony's share price dropped 2.75%
  
  Now, since the release of the PlayStation 3 console late last year, how many machines have been over heating? The good news seems to be that nobody has reported their machines over heating. It may have been just a fluke. In view of the variety of reasons why the consoles were getting over heated at the Tokyo Game Show, none of which seems to be down to the machines themselves, and all lack of consumer confidence and bad press blew it way out of proportion.
  
  It has been experienced by many gamers that after prolonged gaming, sometimes 48 hours straight (more or less), playing various games on the PlayStation 3, there was no trouble to report. The fans continued to run quietly, there was warm air coming out of the back, it got hot as all consoles do, but not too hot, and no overheating trouble was noticed. The only problems were bleary eyes, backs and thumbs, and delirium due to a complete lack of sleep and video game overdose.
  
  Finally, if you don't believe the lack of PlayStation 3 overheating problems, check out the gaming forums, you won't hear anything about PS3 on these issues.
  
  In October pleasant temperatures and a clear sky are the typical weather forecast. Tokyo night temperatures drop significantly. Fall foliage in Tokyo is at its best during November. It is absolutely one of the biggest Tokyo attractions. Magnificent fall colors paint the Japanese gardens with a stunning blend of red and yellow.
  
  Winter (December-February) - temperatures are around 5 - 10 degrees Celsius/ 40 - 50 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperatures require packing winter clothes suitable for this climate (see my ultimate packing list for Tokyo ). Be warned - Tokyo winter is so dry... and gives your skin a very hard time. Snowfall is Tokyo is infrequent, but does occur. It also affects the public transportation.
  
  Spring (March-May) - the most glorious time to visit Tokyo. That's when Japan's famous tree blossom starts, beginning with plum trees in March and continuing to April with cherry blossoms. Weather forecasts include reports on the advance of the Sakura Zensen (cherry blossom front). The Meteorological Agency and the media follow "cherry blossom front" as it slowly moves northward. To celebrate, Japanese arrange picnics in parks and temples. Tokyo in June Or July, tokyohot, Guide to Seoul's Hot Spots
