PS3 Fan Noise Loud, is it normal or is it a problem?

mrwma237 · 04-28-2008, 05:35 PM

I just bought a 40g PS3 last month. I've only played 1 game, 1 time, but have watched approximately 5 dvds with it, 3 Blu-Ray and 2 regular DVD.

Just 2 nights away, while watching a DVD rented from Blockbuster, my PS3 started blowing away like a damn hair dryer.

IS THE DAMN FAN SUPPOSED TO BE THAT LOUD?!?!

Please advise.
