I have the MGS4 Limited Edition console. As for noise, I never hear the fan. At times i've even wondered if the fan works! But oneday I did hear it so I feel better now. And about the heat output? I can't complain about the heat disbursemnt from the actual unit alone. But when my door is closed and I have the PS3, home theater, tv all running along with the compact fridge I have in my room ............ yes, it gets quite warm. Finally, load time?? Never an issue. Iron Man, Sleeping Buety, nothing more than 10-15 sec max time.
P.S.
For those of you that caught it. "Sleeping Buety" was a joke. LOL
