I think I know what you mean. Mine does it too, also it sounds like a peace of junk when I insert or eject a disk. I got used to it though and even after 2 or so hours of constant game play it sounds rock solid.

I'm not worried about it at all

Mine doesn creek like that all the time it just makes a snapping sound every now and then but It will go with age.

My BenQ monitor used to creek for months non stop and since its in the same room I sleep in it drove me nuts!

My recently bought Slim has made no strange noises; yet. Helen played Folk lore for about 6 hours the other night, with no groans (from the slim)

ok, ok

because of the cheaper nature of the plastic casing in the SLIM, the SLIM creeks more due to expansion and contraction of the plastic.

the original PS3 is held together by MANY, MANY screws. This one is held together by folded tabs.

Who's Helen? Why is she groaning while playing Folk Lore? Why is she still playing Folk Lore and for six hours at a time?

My phat PS3 creaks sometimes, probably due to the expansion/contraction of the plastic
