Sounds like fan is working overly hard because of the ambient temp of your house.  Has it always been this loud ?? could be faulty bearings in the fan, or you just havent cleaned the thing since you got it, and leaving it on the floor is probably not helping either, it will suck up alot of dust down there.

Try unplugging it completely and vacuuming all the exhaust ports.  Try and do a thorough job as it is probably pretty dusty.  My laptop used to overheat (ran at about 60 C) I vacuumed the heat-syncs and it now runs at about 40 C.  Big improvement.  Good luck!

umm...this might sound dumb, but how do I do that? I don't have a vacuum cleaner ;). Thx for all the help guys, I really don't want to call Toys R Us because Im sure that they will give me a non BC PS3, and 2 of the most played games in my house is Marvel Vs Capcom 2 and Street Fighter Anniversery Collection (SF3 FTW!!).

LOL I was thinking about the winter thing, it'll keep me nice and toasy while I run through Chimeras in R2 :).
