Question for PS3 Owners

morbo

Is the PS3 quiet or noisy?

Ciaran500

Quiet.

If you have a tv with a dvi input and sound input for a PC, then is there any way of getting the hdmi todvi cable and a cable that will input the audio ino the pc audio socket?

Ciaran500

I'm 99% sure you can use the standard AV cable that comes with it to output the sound and send the video over HDMI.

O yeah, thanks Ciaran500, just for future reference in the case that some new exclusives might make me buy it.

Thanks for the expansive answer!
Just how quiet are we talking?
Nintendo Wii quiet, or Nintendo DS quiet?
Because the DS is pretty damn quiet!

Ask a simple question get a simple answer.

I'd say its Wii quiet, you can hear it but its just a low hum.

Cheers, adequately proportioned ears!

I've hardly noticed any noise from it, quieter than any of my DVD players anyway. You only notice there was a noise when you turn it off and it diappears. It also sang me a lullaby and gave me a back massage, but that was a possible lack of sleep-induced hallucination.

Quiet, but game for a few hours and it does make a fair amount of noise, but nothing as loud as the 360.

What about watching a full Blue-Ray movie?

shortys94

Referring back to the DVI question, would the sound not come out on AV1 or AV2 rather than the Computer signal????????

Same volume as an xbox360 with the HD-DVD player. Fairly quiet, especially if your going to use 5.1 surround, there's no chance you'll hear the machine unless you have ultrasonic hearing
