PS3 Price Cut
sheep2001:
The super slim runs completely silent, but you can hear the bd drive when it's searching.reading a disk. Oh and it s plastic and horrible. Lol.
I wouldn't trust a second hand phat one.. They get really loud when they get hot, and might have had ylod fixes before being traded in.

Well, to add to that, I'd also probably end up changing out the housing for a clear case. That's one of the reason's that I want a slim model. I'm not sure how much that will effect the noise too.

Good luck finding a reliable one at that point. Like all of Sony's launch machines, they don't have a great life expectancy.

I managed to luck into a factory refurbed one directly from SONY and it works like a champ! If you can find one like that, grab it.
I have, however, burned through 2 xbox 360s in 5 years
