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

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

@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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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 ?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

# 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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Shit, I didn't even know they were sending out more beta keys. I remembered I had got some email from Sony, but I figured it was just the usual "what's on the PS Store this week" so I didn't even bother to look at it. But after seeing your post (I figured you wouldn't just randomly be asking, since people have been in the beta for a while now), I checked the email and it is indeed a beta code for Home.

I could quite honestly care less, but I'll still give it a try. At this point, I don't think anybody really cares too much about it, but Sony probably figures they put so much into it now that they might as well release it. But seriously, they played their cards way too early (revealed at GDC 07 and it's still not out yet, almost two years later), which is why it seems that any excitement it had going for it is pretty much dead.

So yeah, I'll give this a download and try it out sometime tomorrow.

FELIPE NO

I'll be interested to see Home purely to see how it ends up, but yeah, can't say I'm at all bothered by it though (don't think I'd bother with the beta even if I'd been given a code) because it seems like a bit of a dragged out mess. You'll have to post your thoughts somewhere Rock and let us know what you make of it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, servers are up, time to dive in

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I tried it out yesterday. You can basically complete the tutorial and roam around everything within an hour and then have nothing to do. Since it's the beta the mall stores have nothing, didn't try out bowling or pool with any friend yet though.
Also seems like we can create a club but not sure if that actually works in the beta yet.
Game launching also is not available. All you can really do right now is chill.
I'm just glad I got my ps3 directly connected to my router now since everything loads so smoothly except of course when you first enter a room and it's loading all the profiles.

Also, I think if you get a score of 2000 in enchronome (spelled wrong) you get a special outfit that looks like a storm trooper minus the helmet.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I tried it out for a little bit too. It's very nice, not exactly fun since I was alone. Hopefully, when more people I know get on it and they add more things it'll become more entertaining.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing it, I feel it has a lot of potential that hasn't been reached yet because of beta.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Its pretty much sad that I cant have a TV or even a Radio in 'my' studio. All I can do is fill it up with chairs and tables and lights :| The mall is empty, the only thing going there = chess games.

Game launching is enabled I think. I saw one earlier for Warhawk, sadly, I dont have the said game.

Only arcade game worth playing for me is the stacking game. Ice breaker and Echocrome = no thanks. Bowling is fun, but hard. Billiards is way better.

Pretty much fun to see my character dance. LOL. Will have to spend more time creating my character to look more like me.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

ok after spending some time with home after a few more people got into the beta I can already see where this is going.
It's a public place for immature kiddies that like to make obvious sexual poses who want to hump every girl thats on the screen and those girls have no mics but when they do it's obviously a guy who put the voice pitch on high to try to sound like a man-she.
Also I was surprised to see the amount of people that do have mics, I'm even more surprised that it looks like some of the xbox kids slipped into it and annoy the crap out of you.
It's weird but I found it fun when it was emptier, when the real thing comes out I'm only looking forward to hanging out with people I know and those of you here on GFF.
