    I had two copies of Uncharted and sold my standard retail version off for £20 not all that long ago. Keeping the promotional copy and one day intend to find development versions of it.

    We live in the same country for now Thanos but my PS3 doesn't make any particularly loud noise and it doesn't get very hot either.

    Check for dust blockage. Also, is your DVD player on or on standby? Check to make sure the DVD player is not warm as that warm air cause the system to make the fans run louder as it is blowing warm air through the heatsink.

    i don't know if anyone has said this yet, but dust regularly. that thing will get quite dusty, and the ladies don't like dusty electronics (or so i've heard...)

    Yes, the PS3 system has a static color shell paint issue.....Any form of dirt and dust will easily stick to it.

    also, if you find your PS3 sitting there for days and weeks at a time while you play the Wii, just remember, Little Big Planet. I'll for sure have a PS3 by then and we can platform like we've never platformed before! :dance:

    Now there`s a thought (Dev Versions)


    My PS3 is vertical.......runs really quietly, but does get quite warm......but nothing else anywhere really near it so never gets hot.........same goes for the 360(elite) not that quiet but doesn`t get hot as vertical and plenty of space around it

    my xbox 360 doesnt get hot either, but the DVD drive starts and stops furiously, and stopping sounds quite violent. should I be worrying?
