Well I thought my fan noise was pretty normal, however after a game it does ramp up and gets loud. It's not so much loud that it fills the room, but its a very high pitched annoying sound that takes forever to rev back down (Similar to the video comparision). My PS3 Slim also gets really hot in the back.
Think I am just going to return mine and stick with my 360 Elite until Sony gets a chance to iron out the kinks with a 1st generation model.
I've spoken to some Sony reps on the phone and they are saying it's normal and the Slims have a different cooling system that can take longer then normal, this is coming from 2 reps I spoke with.
Really really nice product, the fan and heat is just so discouraging :/
I have a PS3 Slim and an Xbox 360 jasper and the 360 is a lot louder than the slim.
It's pretty similar to the Slim and Fat comparision video. Maybe not as loud, but to me that seems a little higher pitched.
Chances are if everyones PS3 Slim sounds similar to in the video its normal. I doubt there are many faulty fans out there, it's just how they are. Poor advertising on Sonys part though
My nephew traded his 360 in and got the slim a few days ago. It is indeed quiet - just like my 40Gb phat.
The slim's been around for a month now - has anyone had just one slim over this month (without a replacement). If so, has the fan noise decreased at all over use?
I've had a 120g from launch day, no replacements. Fan noise was never an issue with my 60g launch model and its the same with the Slim. Last night, on the XMB, it was literally silent. Guess I've been lucky.

How quiet would you say that it is?
