Hi All,
I recently got a PS3 but returned it as the fan noise after about a hours play was unbelievable. I was listening through head phones and sat 5metres away when it first kicked in and it was loud enough to be more than a little distracting.
I've just got my replacement and have exactly the same issues. I'd done my research beforehand and understood that this wasn't really an issue with the 40gb versions.
Now, to be fair, my kit sits in a cupboard and there is a fair amount in it so it gets pretty warm. However this has never been a problem for my Xbox360 which has a reputation for being noisy.
So have just been unlucky and got 2 faulty units or is this something that is happening due to the heat in my cupboard and will happen with any PS3?
I ask before i go mad trying to get cabling etc out of the cupboard if it is not going to solve the problem!
Anyone who's had a similar problem or thoughts, your advice would be much appreciated!
Apologies if I don't respond quickly to any suggestions as I'm not going to be near a computer this weekend.
Thanks Martin
