Default Re: fan problem

The fan shouldn't be very loud- more often than not mine is completely silent. You may want to take a vacuum hose and use this along the vents to suck out any dust that is in there and make sure you have the PS3 in an open space.

As for the hard drive, the PS3 will automatically format it once you put it in and turn the system back on. No special tricks needed.

As for the blu-ray it may die eventually but I'm doubting it will as long as you take good care of the ol' black beast.

Sounds to me like you're being a bit paranoid about the whole thing here- it's not really something to worry about. The system is very well built and as long as you keep it well ventilated you shouldn't have any problems.
