PS3 Slim whirring
Hi
I got my PS3 Slim just over a week ago now and unfortunatly due to being so busy I havent had chance to use it much. But when I have used it I notice a whirring sound coming from it which I never noticed on the old 40gb fat (possibly becuase I am subconsiouly listnenting out for it as the slim is supposed to be quiter) anyway is the whirring likely to improve (ie become less noticeable) as the machine is used more and it has chance to break in or is this a fault with my particular slim. I havent had chance to watch a DVD yet as I've been so busy but that will be the acid test as to how annoying it is. Also I have 2 blurays which came in the bundle but I'm saving them for Christmas when I get my new HD TV so that wont be tested fully for a while yet. Thanks |

I went from a phat to a slim when my original 60GB died. The blu ray drive is definitely louder even though the fan is quieter. It sounds a lot noisier inserting a disk as well.
