How hot does the newest 15' Macbook Pro get?

I had a base unibody 13 Macbook Pro and it definitely got pretty hot whenever I would play some light games on it. Nothing too bad but it definitely became uncomfortable after awhile. How does the 15 Macbook Pro with the 9400+9600 manage heat wise? I read a review on Notebookreview.com that said the top end 15' Pro managed its heat really well which is strange considering my experience with the 13'. Is consistent gaming on the 15' on Windows XP or 7 possibly damaging to the internals?

    I got a June 2009 MBP 15" with 256MB 9600GT, and it can get quite warm in the top left corner, but it's not too hot imo.

    Fans go up, but even that is almost nothing compared to the old MacBook I have with GMA950. With youtube movies that thing goes up in the air!

    And get's very hot.



    But, gaming on a laptop just isn't too good. They get very warm if not hot, and I personally just find it uncomfortable to play properly on.
