ps3 slim disc loading sounds - Blu-ray Forum

BirdManJr · 10-24-2010, 01:16 PM

I have a slim & a fat ps3...i got a new slim 2501a is on the box so im guessing its the newer hardware...i gave my wifes brother my fat ps3 since he didnt have a gaming system.

I have madden and nba 2k when i put those in the slim i hear like the disc loading sounds..i never heard this or maybe paid attention with the fat slim..i didnt hear it too much when i played a blu ray....so i dunno if its those games...its normal..or its a problem with the ps3?

I still can exchange it for another one...dont want to really..but if it sounds like something wrong i will...for the most part the system is quiet and runs cool after playing for a hour....Just the disc sounds when i put it in..like its winding up or something..but everything plays fine. Thanks just curious if its a bad sign or normal.

I have both a slim and a fat myself, and then slim sounds like an airplane getting ready to take off when a disc loads. So im pritty sure its normal

Yeah, me and my brother both have ps3's, mine is a fat original which makes a good space heater. My brother's is a slim which makes a good noise maker.

the fat ps3s had disc slot loading tech
the slim have disc grabbing tech

but overall during use the slim is significantly quieter

Yea and i noticed before when i put a new game in my ps3 it would install it and take forever..which didnt bother me because it was a one time thing that would be better for the system in the long run....But now when i put a game in..it just plays...does the ps3 still install the games? or do i have a option i need to turn on since i just got the new slim? Other than when i put the game in the slim is quiet when playing the games.
