My nephew has a slim (not super slim) and recently has found that whenever he does to play a DVD movie the PS3 makes a rattling noise. It's worst when he first puts the disc in, it quietens down a lot once the disc menue is on screen but doesn't go away completely.
When Blu-ray discs are used (games / movies it doesn't matter) there's no noise.
Is this a known thing with slims?
There's no point in getting the PS3 looked at because it's out of warranty and the price for getting it looked at would probably be more than buying a low end DVD player. But if this could be the start of an eventual optical drive failure then perhaps it does need to be looked at.
