My 40gig is super silent for the majority of the time, whereas my 60gig's fans kick in after around 15mins...

I would say the 40gig was no louder than my old BDP-300... Which also has a fan running.

Thanks for the replies. I do not believe dust is an issue since I regularly clean my system. But, it might be room temperature. I live in Texas and we're already well over 80 degrees a day here. I have a ceiling fan on, but no AC so room temperature is warm. That may be it!

The weird thing is when this started. I used the calibration disc briefly, watched I Am Legend, but when I popped in another movie (the same night) about 30 minutes in the fan really started to kick in. Since I'm using TV speakers, it gets really annoying!

Okay. Check whether this is consistent. Check whether it is any better during cooler times.

It could be the temperature of the room it's in but i would check the vents to be sure.

Playing a bd 1 after the other will definetly make the fan speed increase. Thats nearly 4hrs straight of non stop disc reading. Btw the PS3 fan is huge. I've seen the pics. Now that you mention your playing 2 movies in a row im sure thats the primary reason. Atleast the fan is'nt letting your system cook in the heat. It will warn you if its too hot before it shuts itself off to cool.
