Soldato
As some of you may recall the noise of the PS3 has always annoyed me for bluray playback. Because of this i replaced my 60gb for a 40gb as they were quieter and to be fair it was, not perfect but much better.
Skip to last weekend and my 40gb failed - ironically the bluray drive just stopped reading anything (2nd PS3 failure, my 360 is more reliable
) So i took it back and it was replaced. However the replacement is a 80gb unit that is very loud, louder than the 60gb let alone the 40gb 
My question is thus, are the 80s louder or do i have another duffer - it has a different design on the vent inlets and is half a kilo lighter than the 40gb so i am not sure if it has had a redesign and is louder due to that ?
