Noise of PS3 reading from a disk is much worse on new ps3 super slim than on my old fat ps3. Is it only me or is it really an issue ?!

I have a super slim PS3, it's my first one, and it does seem quite noisy sometimes. Also, there was an update for EU Playstation All Stars, and now my PS3 won't read it properly..... :\

Well, logic sort of dictates that the less materials used in a console, and the less they give it as far as housing & "thickness", the less chance there is that any noises will be dampened or otherwise supressed by the unit. I do not mean this to sound snide or snotty... I'm a sound engineer and acoustics consultant so I'm just relating things on a level which I deal every day, for sound systems and the like.

:)

The b!tch of it is, you can't exactly dampen the sound by enclosing the unit further than it already is, because that has the distinct possibility of contributing to an over-heating situation. I SUPPOSE, that you could get a lotta long cables, and set the unit in a different room... That's how we isolate a drum kit from a singer, say, in a recording studio...

:D

... Longshot thinking for a solution, but this is how my mind works...

:D

It's really too bad that there's been so many complaints about the super-slim. Hopefully Sony gets it together and future batches run more smoothly.

Drop a very large, heavy object on top of the unit. I've heard it works wonders.
