RE: Blu-ray on Sony PS3 is nice but fan is noisy. Other Blu-ray players?

Posted by dbphd on May 21, 2008 at 21:23:24:
We bought a PS3-80 in February. I do notice it makes some noise on loading discs, but actual fan noise is not noticeable. It is on my Airport Extreme network, and whenever I update its OS there is no question in my mind that it is essentially a computer. The distinction between my iMac and the PS3-80 must be carefully drawn, the overlap is so great. Both are great. When I think of my first DEC PDP-11 lab computer with 8 K bytes of memory I rhat expanded to 16, it blows my mind. And remembering I used the string editor TICO as a word processor for writing technical papers makes me shudder.
