i bought a PS3 on launch and defended that purchase for a long time.. later got a 360 which did have to repaired once, but MS won me over.. they retro-actively gave everyone a 3 year warranty if you had the RROD, they send me a free priority postage paid box, and had my console back in my hands in FIVE days !.. I was another fan who got suckered into buying a PS3 like me. Only to find out in reality they had a much weaker GPU then XB360 and Terrible online service, but I guess thats why its free. Playng COD MW2 sucks on the PS3, on the 360 its much quicker and less lag ! PS3 is last in console sales worldwide by 5 million and in 3rd place in games sold compared to the Wii and Xbox 360.. the 360 has sold nearly 120 million more games worldwide then the PS3 which is amazing and yet sad for Sony, who last Gen was King.. really favored the PS3 at first because I owned a PS2 and loved it, but game-wise the 360 is simply King and their online gaming Xbox Live is far superior to PSN which is lacking and behind.. they got Netflix an entire year after Xbox live got it, and on PS3 i had to use a disc everytime ! Now XB Live is gettng ESPN this Nov and some other new features..

The brick is silent (just as the old one was completely silent) .. the DVD drive is much quieter, the console itself is much quieter.. If you can actually here the console running that bad while playing a game you need to Un-Mute your television !

Not noticed here but I can say for a fact that both COD games access the disc frequently and do make quite a bit of noise (some other games do this too). Heat is normal and a good thing; not to sound obvious, it means that the heat you feel is no longer in the console thus the fan is doing a better job than previous units. Now fan noise whilst browsing the dashboard is dependent on how hot the console is; if you have not been doing anything prior either your ambient temperature is hot, the unit may indeed be defective or have inadequate ventilation. I find it does run quieter when laid flat.

When I first got this thing, it was quiet, as advertised. Since installing the Update for COD MW2, the fan noise gets bad when games get busy. It also just gets loud from time to time doing things like streaming video with Netflix or even just flipping through the main menu. The fan Noise is BAD when this happens. Unless my audio is cranked up, it becomes very distracting. The heat coming out of the vents is high when this happens while playing a game as well. Perhaps there will be another update to correct this. Like I said, before the COD MW2 patch, I never noticed it. Do I have a defective unit? Is anyone else noticing this?

Hey, I deleted all of the pre-loaded content as they all appeared to be trials except Hexic-HD. Maybe it differs from region to region but I am 99% sure Hexic-HD is the only game pre-loaded.

Interestx, previously it was lain flat on laminated flooring underneath the TV cabinet. I've moved the xbox into another room where it sits directly behind the monitor and now the PSU is inaudible. The noise from the game, xbox and my home server are enough to drown it out.
