[PS3] PlayStation 3 Fan Noise. Annoyingly loud, ain't it?

Oh man, the game console gods do not smile upon you, Ultima. That totally sucks.

Huh, maybe that's true. My friend has a backwards compatible 80 gig, and he says it gets pretty warm. I've got a new 80 gig (never had a PS2, so no PS2 games to play on it anyway) and mine stays cool to the touch even after marathon gaming for hours.

I have a backwards compatible 80, and it doesn't get all that hot. A little warm, maybe. But never all -that- bad.

This thing isn't even that hot. I used to keep my old unit on for days wen Folding@home came out. Never got hot, never froze. Last year too, I'd leave it on for hours at a time. I'm not sure what's going on now, but the difference in the conditions I keep it in now compared to then aren't very different besides a different room.

Before it was in horizontal position on top of a wooden cabinet next to an open window with a nice breeze. Now this new unit is on a cardboard box on the ground next to the TV. It's not very hot in here at all. I had it running for about 15-20 minutes with the plastic wrap they had on it covering the fan, but I realized the error in my ways and quickly removed it, so maybe that's it?

While that was a fairly stupid move, I never played any games and so the system had no reason to become too hot. Even so, something like that never happened with the old console, so really, I don't get it.

Unless Sony just threw a new case on my old PS3 and sent it back.

Oh well, time to call up Sony AGAIN tomorrow to request another box. There goes my dreams of playing LittleBigPlanet on release day.

@ani - Well I dont really complain cause of that but if anything, I use a dust off can to keep shit away. Besides, cold temperatures are returning so that'll keep things steady in my room

Interesting to see alot of people having this heating problem. I would get some kind of freeze when i get out the internet browser. It kinda happens a few times but doesn't really damage the system so..

Btw, did anyone get trusty bell ? Is it really better than the 360 version?

when I play more than 2 hours,sometimes game load slow and when save take take more than normal.if happen that I turnoff for 1 hour.

A little heads up everybody. Amazon.com is doing another PS3 Gold Box deal starting at midnight PST. No clue to what's being offer as Amazon.com shun LightningDeals.com from their list.

Have fun.

So a few days after firmware 2.50 hit, the blu-ray drive died. It no longer spins to read any sort of disk. Cruising the PS3 forums it seems that alot of others have been having this problem after 2.50.

ever since the new update my ps3 randomly froze three times on different games. I had to reset my ps3 and hope that my saved data didn't get corrupted. This was on the 80GB ps3.
Also trophy support for gta4, I don't feel like playing the whole game again though

LoL. Thank god I let the nerds test drive all new firmware first, regardless of how worthless and moot they always are.

*Changelog* PS3 XMB font changed to Times New Roman.

::PS3 blows up::

Of course I am curious about the new chroma upsampling feature for BD. Too bad I got a real BD player now.

Hey did anyone get some kind of "Rebuild" on the harddrive? It just renamed most of my video files.. heh this sucks =/

lol no, why did you do that?

also, what is it with you weirdos, are you too dumb to update your firmware or what

Umm I did update and it wasn't really my intetion to do it. It just came up as soon as I turned it on. It wasn't anything bad but it does suck cause I have to rename my vids again.

either way, nothing's wrong.

hehe okay, I thought you fucked up your PlayStation 3, but apparently, everything is okay (hi-five)

Just to add, My fuckin playlists are no longer there. Now I gotta make them again for wipeout. Jeez.

So does anyone know what this 2.52 update supposed to be about ?

# New for 2.52: The playback quality of some PLAYSTATION®3 format software has been improved.
# New for 2.52: A text entry issue that occurs when using the on-screen keyboard, USB keyboard or Bluetooth® keyboard with some PLAYSTATION®3 format software has been addressed.

So if anyone essentially wants an 80 gig PS3 for $300, Walmart is having a pre-black Friday sale, which includes, among other things, the 80 gig bundle and a $100 gift card for $400. The sale is at 8:00 am tomorrow though, so I guess you'd have to go out and line up in a few hours.

I'm sure every ps3 person has this game by now, but in case you peeps don't...

Metal Gear Solid 4 was released as a Demo at the PSN Store. If you dont have the game, check it out !

I'm not scrolling through 29 pages...but I just got the system over the weekend and I wanted to see how these "media machines" were. Fuck that shit.

Trying to use WMP11/TVersity/Nero to play media from my PC and WMP won't play audio and only plays like 3 video files, TVersity gives "corrupt data" errors on just about anything other than AVI (especially MKV files), Nero just sucks, and to top it all off, I get a 50-step guide on reinstalling codecs when the crap should be working in the first place because I know what I'm doing.

Ugh.

Anyone who got in the Playstation Home Beta?
