they'd have to solve the noise issue first, which is what scared me off of the PS3 in the first place. I know that some don't consider it a problem, but I've read enough complaints about it to give me pause. (And I'm VERY sensitive to stuff like that.) I do appreciate the PS3's fast loading times and easy updatability via the internet, though. I eventually settled on a Pioneer BD-95FD, which I'm really happy with.

As for the noise issue, it bothers some people and for others it's a non-issue (numerous variables: distance from unit, open shelf vs closed in, set up in another room/closet, insensitivity, the noise floor in the room, etc). There are also reports that the 40GB produces less noise than the 60GB or 80GB models. Still others say they have one PS3 that's louder than another PS3 (same GB).

I know what you mean by sensitivity to certain things (noises). In the "quiet room" that I used to have, I could hear my KPS-20t spinning a CD from over 15ft away between tracks and during very quiet passages in classical music. When I build my dedicated audio/video room, this will be addressed.
