...its so loud! when i started it up for the first time it was quite loud then i realized i placed it on the rug, so i pushed it over to the side somewhere on the ground then it was silent. then once i put in ratchet the noise started again. i heard that the ps3 is supposed to be almost silent. what could be wrong?

Try putting it on a table and making sure all of the cables are plugged in correctly and aren't loose.

If that doesn't work ... turn up the volume :P

If you think the PS3 is loud. The 360 sounds like an airplane taking off compared to the PS3.

Get it off the floor. Maybe the noise is just being reverberated and made to seem louder because it is echoing. Looks like a concrete floor.

troll lol. he's talking about ps3, not 360

He's not trolling, he was replying to a message someone had written in response to the TC but that message was deleted. So it looks like he is trolling, but he is not.

Yup, it's all jealousy. They only get to have one of the consoles, so they trash the other one. :|

Anyways, my PS3 and 360 are quiet enough. How's dem apples?

It's annoying to be called a fanboy for stating a fact. -_-

I've been called a Lemming countless times for doing something similar to the post you replied to, and everyone knows how much I love the 360.:roll:

A PS3 even in summer should be dead silent 95% of the time, if its not return it. If the 2nd unit is still loud then youve got to put it in a cooler place.

I didn't use to think anything of the 360s roaring interiors until I got a PS3.  Now I have to have a decibel reader in my room to make sure I'm not damaging my hearing.   Ok, that's a lie, but the PS3 is pretty quiet and the 360 is pretty loud.

ok, so i put it on a table, no difference. i opened a window to let in cool, night breeze, no difference. it still makes noise

i suspect its just defective. im not keen on returning it though because i dont live in the states and id have to ship it back there for it to be replaced and i cant bear to wait a month before i get one back >

that really sucks your ps3 is so loud. Mine is dead silent i mean it makes no noise that i can hear besides when i initially turn it on...I have a 360 to and its annoying for me cause i have good hearing, lol 360 fans might hate me but i can honestly say when i play it in my room (360) the noise echos and it gives me a headache LOL. You need to return/send in your ps3 though thats awful its making that much noise.

Yeah only time my PS3 became loud was when it was on the carpet and when my idiot brother closed the cupboardd door so i think the fan had to work overtime try and cool it down.
