Ray I just spoke with a buddy of mine yesterday who picked up a PS3 for the double-duty job and he says he loves it. I'm thinking I just may check into the PS3. He told me I *may* decide to do some gaming while waiting out my waning years anyway...thanks bud.

Thought you guys might enjoy this. Your PS3 could have another purpose  yummy
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

I haven't had any problems with my PS3 running hot or loud, I believe mine is the 20g version. My Xbox 360 is much louder than my PS3.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

I think loudness depends greatly on the model. Assuming the new 80GB models use the same fan system, I find mine to be audibly invisible from 7-8' away where I sit. This includes when the fan goes into higher gear, although I can't say I have ever noticed it do that even as I don't hear it.

It's not quite as loud as Xbox360, but *almost* as loud. I'll stick an SPL on it when I get a chance.
