PS3 Fan Noise

I know about the issues with the 360 I have been following all the systems for a while. I also know about the recall on the PS3 when it was first released.
As for heat, I am very susceptible to this as we don't really have AC where we live and it can get quite hot in the summer months. I have been making system changes to reduce heat and would hate for it to all go to waste because of a inefficient new system.
Demi,
Thanks for all the info. I was planning on getting the 360 originally because I like the current line-up of games better then the PS3, but they both have alot of good games coming out by the end of the year. I might buy a blu-ray or two if I get a PS3, but won't be using either of these specifically for movies, they are game machines and I will use them as such.
I was trying to wait it out on the 360 for them to fix the overheating issues, and hoping they would have the 65nm chip in the elite...which they didn't seem to.
I might end up with a PS3 first if I get the Sony card I applied for. $500 shipped + 5 free blurays and ~$200 back is hard to pass up. -

Sony did have a very public recall of its laptop batteries that did things like catch fire and explode. Those videos were priceless... But the ps3 recall was just another internet hoax.

Wow thats new to me. I had ordered a PS3 when it first came out along with a cousin who had a friend who was a manager of a Target. We were guaranteed one by the beginning of December, but then were told there was a massive recall and we couldn't get ours until early January. I canceled my order and decided to wait it out, he kept with it and got it a week before Christmas.
Maybe the shipment just got pushed back, the manager heard about the recall and assumed it happened. He was talking to my cousin as a friend not as a store manager, so he may have been repeating info with no substance. -
Could be. I remember that good information was really iffy in those days. Rumor was king as people were lined up outside stores to get a launch unit. But there were only 500,000 available worldwide at launch, so 650,000 recalled was definitely false.
