another reason to import

Well done, although i'm amazed that people are describing theirs as "silent"

There are importers with louder machines too.another reason to import

i did a comparison today between a ps2 ( old style ) , 360 and ps3
the noisiest was the 360 , then the ps2 and finally the ps3
the old ps2 was particularly annoying with a high pitched whine , surprisingly , making the leap to the ps3 even more impressive
i don't think it's really that it's amazingly noisy , it's just that the supposed silence of the thing ( the usa / japanese ones anyway ) was one of the hyped up features and finding it's not feels like a bit of a let down to all us loyal sony customers
If anyone has a sound level meter I am happy for them to test mine. Like I said my ps3 is very noisy in my opinion and I am not that fussy on sound.
For a purist there is absolutely no way it would be acceptable. They obviously make alot less noise stood up from peoples comments but that is no good for the majority of people who want to integrate the ps3 into their avrack.
I then tried it in the hallway which is also approximately 24 ft long. Unbelivably at the front door some 38ft away I can still hear the ps3 fan (all be it faintly)
I must admit I dont have brilliant hearing There is no indication my ps3 is faulty at all, you cant tell me these things are silent....
Sony previously stated that the PS3 will be about the same noise level as a slimline PS2. Anything extra is a bonus...
