re: PS3 & movies, I too was surprised at the dearth of good games on PS3. I thought Sony would come out with a full roster to battle 360 last year but the good games were few and far between. As a result, it appears PS3 owners have been forced to watch movies on it to get use out of their purchase during the dry runs in between good games.
Yeah you may be right, it probably uses babbitt bearings, I may have to crack it open and replace the fan with a better one, or maybe I should try and return it as defective.

Also I've noticed that BD player prices have slowly crept back up, maybe it's just in my area, but that's an added incentive to get a PS3. They all seem to be hovering at $499 mark for a 1.0 profile, and $599 and up for 1.1 profile.
