How can I get dust out of my PS3 without opening it?
Your best bet would be to get a keyboard duster or “canned-air” as I call it, and blow in the back, front, and side vents of the PS3. This should dislodge most if not all the major dust inside the system. Keep a vacuum nearby to suck the large dust clumps that come out.

Can you vacuum your Playstation?
It is safe to vacuum your PS4 as long as you do not touch the vacuum to your console or vacuum the outside of your PS4. Vacuum dust from the inside of your PS4 can remove dust and reduce noise. It is not safe to vacuum the outside of a PS4 because it could damage electrical components.
