I wonder who would win a loudness test between the Slims. My biggest problem with the X360 is its loud noice.

anybody remember that test a while back on ps3 temperature experimentation?

Here it is:

"In three rounds of testing, separate PS3s were subjected to 108 hours of game play and Blu-ray movies in different environments. The locations were a standard living room, the back of a freezer van, and the inside of a hot sauna–the screen and controllers were routed outside of the freezer van and sauna for the duration of the testing.

In living room testing, the only glitch reported for the console in 108 hours was a vibration in the disc tray. This apparently only lasted 20 seconds during the 12th hour of testing, with no other incidents reported. In the freezer test, the temperature was started at 50 degrees Fahrenheit and reduced to 0 degrees during the 108 hours. Except for sluggish behavior at 0 degrees and condensation on the video cord causing a video blackout, the console kept on running. In the sauna test, the temperature was started at 100 degrees and moved up to 120 during the last 24 hours of the test. Amazingly, the only reported incidents during the sauna test was a burning smell at hour 64 and a very hot console at the the end of the test. Otherwise, the PS3 console operated normally.

It sure must be nice to have that kind of disposable income to risk utter destruction of several PS3s. Can’t say I’m willing to repeat these tests myself. I’ll just try and kill gaming consoles the old fashioned way by playing them until they break."

laugh out loud at that

1st theres no data

2nd 360S STILL uses external power supply doubt they had the power supply in the cabinet when testing the 360S

3rd unknown if they are using current cech 2100 PS3s 

4th like iam going to believe a site called gofanboy

5th its confirmed that ps3 uses less watts than the 360S even some of the older fats less power means less heat ps3 is probably running hotter than the 360S b/c of its internals being so compact including the power supply in the console not b/c of poor tech design

You guys are stupid, putting a PS3 in a closed cabenet isn't bright to do at all. First of all, you don't need tests to know that the PS3 moves more hot air than the PS3. These things are already known, as the cells in the PS3 are faster. Thus they produce more heat than the counterpart. The greatness of the PS3 is it keeping the system cooler than the 360. Sony does things right, they didn't skimp on cooling, because they knew what they had.

Congrats, you did a useless test. And yes, it's fair that the 360 would RROD due to the issue is with heat, look it up. The 360 is like a good computer, if it overheats it goes into safety and will stop the damage and not kill the system. The difference is a higher quality build than what Microsoft decided to put out, in my view because of saving money in the mass production of the system.

Also I believe both target max levels are the same on both cells, the 360 is just defective, and the PS3 runs hotter faster if not getting room to breath. Thus making the PS3 get hot rapidly which isn't as dangerous as the 360 which keeps a hot temperature for a longer time, which causes RROD. Think of it this way, MMA fighters might be in a more violent sport, but Boxers get head injuries a lot more because they're getting punched in the head for a long period of time. The MMA fighter will be fine the next day, or what not, but the Boxer not..
