Its amazing. Mine runs so quiet that I can't even tell it's on (when game is installed). Even when the disc is spinning it is much much quieter than the older models. It doesn't get hot at all, either. The only place I feel heat is that big vent on the side which means it is doing its job.
I like the added USB port and the new touch sensitive buttons and especially like the Optical output being built in instead of having to use the spot on the AV cables!
