Mine was when I got my slim after trading in my original loud, hot phat. I turned it on and...silence! No fan noise whatsoever. Today it does make some noise, though. I guess that comes with age and dust buildup.

So, whats your favorite memory with your PS3?

When I poped in god of war 3 and the first 10 min in the game I shat my pants....

First time I turned it on and heard the epic start up screen gave me goosebumps of excitement.

When i got trophy for 75 zones in WHD ;)

Playing Final Fantasy 13 and Heavy Rain... 2 fantastic Games, great storytelling

when i first Got one, was Not a Big Fan Of PS3 At the Time, didn't really know much about it,
my 360 Had Just died on me, was not to sure, but Took a gamble, Got Killzone 2 and MGS4 And Uncharted Drakes Fortune with it Stayed Up Playing All night, Could not have been more happy.

First time i turned it on, and started playing Genji: Days Of the Blade... more than 3 Years Ago

Finally doing the "Get stoned" challenge in GOWIII was a big one.

Although it should have been the intro to FFXIII. I'm still kind of pissed off they dropped the old school theme music.

Getting an HDMI cable

Uncharted Series! I was Mad Crazy when Uncharted 2 came out !
