They stop spinning eventually though, it's just a bit of a longer disc check

I kid

But in all honesty my PS3 slim is quieter than my (Recently Sold) 360S - the S was whisper quiet when I first got it but got louder over time, I am expecting the same thing to happen with the PS3 but so far its still pretty quiet.

Mine can get loud if I dont have the game installed like others have mentioned. The games I play alot I always install to the HD. I always laugh when I play a game that isnt installed because im shocked at how loud it is. I dont have a slim but the slightly older 360 elite (the black one).

You can also take some compressed air and blow out the back to clean out some of that dust too. Helps a little bit. I dont know if the fans are temp sensed or not, it could be placebo
