apparently there are three fan speeds in the ps3 1, 2 and 3, right? 1 is when you turn it on, 2 is when you play it for about 15 mins and 3 is, well, extremely long play times. i know that playing while the fans are on level 3 is pretty much cooking your ps3. but it is safe to play for a while on level 2, right? also, if i can hear the fan when the TV is quiet, but the console is cool, i can assume it is level 2, right?

Well i don't know if playing on level 3 is "cooking" your PS3, but i would say it would be better to take breaks and let her cool off. Most of the time, I can't hear mine, cause i have the sound loud :? but i know that ive had my PS3 since launch (60gb) and there have been many days where it has run all day. I haven't had any problems with overheating with ol' bessie lou. if you are concerned about heat, i recommend buying an intercooler (Niko sells one), I had one, but im not sure how much it helped and it is LOUD, the whirring sounds it makes... i tell you. So, heat or sound, ahah. I really don't think you need to worry about it though
