Anyone have any hands on experience with this? Just curious as I might get one.

Of course, they didn't even bother making one for the 17-inch models since apparently, nobody has those anymore.

As for the cooling system, it is entirely unnecessary and won't help with the efficiency of a Mac notebook. It's no different than the 3rd party universal notebook cooling pads that just blow air onto the bottom of notebooks. If you're using your MacBook on your lap and it's getting too hot, you would be better off spending $10-$15 and getting a notebook lap desk. I have a padded one that set me back by $15 on Amazon. It has comfortable padding and more than enough space to hold my 2012 15" MBP, external USB hard drive, and Logitech wireless desktop laser mouse. I didn't buy it because my system gets hot on my lap but rather so I had a solid surface to use my mouse and so that I could comfortably use my MacBook Pro along with my external hard drive. -
Are they supposed to run as hot as the get? Mine gets to 70 C (according to smcfancontrol) under load. I usually have fans running at 6200 RPMs full time (like right now, temp's are at ~40 C but I'm not doing anything intensive atm).

I just get really worried coming from a PC standpoint.
More like a desktop standpoint. -

Should I be worried about the heat ruining my battery? I like to watch shows in bed, and obviously I realize this is the reason for my rMBP 13 heating up, but should I be really worried?

Not if the temperatures fall within the previously mentioned range. Also, you shouldn't worry so long as the ventilation ports aren't covered up. There are vents on the front left and right of the unit along with the entire back hinge. You are fine so long as those aren't covered up by sheets or a blanket. If they are, you should prop your MBPr up with a hard surface. You can buy a lap desk accessory that's padded on the bottom and flat on the top. I have one and use it on the couch all the time. You can use whatever you want but the ventilation ports should not be covered up.
