New PS3 160g much quieter than old one.

[Porfie]

I purchased my first PS3 60 gb on launch day of 2006. I love that it was backwards compatable, sacd, 4 USB ports and the memory card slots. The one thing that I did find annoying was how loud the fan got during games and movies even when well ventilated. I got a second PS3 160 gb for Christmas and put it in the bedroom only to later move it in the living room. Even though it lacks all the original 60gb feautures it more than makes up for it with how quit it is even when I play or watch movies for hours. Does anyone else notice this who has the original PS3 and the new one? I always heard rumors that the new PS3 was a little quieter but I can say it is much quieter and no louder than a DVD player when playing movies and that is huge for me. The fan on the older models was distracting and a bit too loud at times while this 160g is as quit as a mouse.
