What utter nonense this site is. My PS3 is silent. I have to put my ear upto it to hear the fan. There is no disc noise whatsoever, and this is a Euro PAL PS3.
Still to counter your obvious HD-DVD bias, let talk about boot up times.
Toshiba HD-A2 = 2 minutes PS2 = 17 seconds BDP-S300 = Unknown, but likely to be similar..
LOL, I can put a disk on a HD-AS, go for a slash, microwave the popcorn, and the movie will have still not started... To put it another way. HD-A2 bootup time == 15% of the movie length....
Sorry, meant to type PS3 (obviously). And yes, load times are very close to 2 minutes, (40 secs to boot up, another 30-40 before the movie starts). Several reviews have already timed this. I apologise if I was 20 secs or so over-harsh. But the sad fact is, PS3 will boot a Blu-Ray movie, from cold (off) in 17 seconds.....

So movies are only 13 minutes 20 seconds long?
