my ps3 is pretty quiet. it's a 1 year-ish after launch. the 360 is like two jet engines in comparison. good to hear it will be (even) more quiet.
Bravo? No, apparent bravo. We've been through a console launch (or more) before, don't believe everything you read.
The PS4 has faster / more technology, in a smaller space AND included the transformer inside. I personally suspect this isn't going to be the quietest console out there (do you expect them to say it's a vacuum?)
We'll see, I hope it's true - but seriously, wait for some serious confirmation.
Disclaimer: before you say it, big Sony fan here, not some Microsoft fan, but I understand tech, this is very straightforward stuff.
My phats have not been loud. The 360 was loud.
ITT: Some people learn that a 6x Blu Ray drive is louder than a 2x.
Maybe their only talking about the PS4 acting as a webserver for second screen stuff, and the PS App can connect to their servers if you're not at home.Wait. Where are you getting this information from? Why would I need to configure my router?
Are you suggesting the PS App won't be talking to the PSN servers but instead directly to the PS4?
Why would you ever think it was going to be the quieter than the XBO or the quietest console out there? When did Sony or anyone else make that claim? Sony said quieter than PS3. They said the system is quiet.
It's nearly impossible to both have the better and more compact design and also the crown for noise reduction. And if your expectation is that it better be quieter than XBO or they have zero justification for making a compact console with an internal PSU, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
I expect quiet. But not quietest of the gen.
I was using it as a figure of speech, not literally the quietest console out there, I thought that was obvious, perhaps lost in text form.
My point is not just that I'm not expecting the literal quietest console out there but my personal expectation is that this is,.. well a fairly noisy little box when the fans need to whirr up. I hope I'm wrong but it's fucking PACKED with hardware, in a surprisingly small case for a launch console.
As I said, we'll see. Be fan fucking tastic if I'm incorrect.

Doesn't the PS4 automatically install every game anyway? You're only going to hear the driving spinning for 5-10 minutes.

This is generally a lot of PR nonsense regarding fans and noise. Stepless fan doesn't reduce fan noise at full load, they don't tell you which PS3 they are comparing it to, and of course they use the term generally which implies in some use cases the PS4 is louder.
No, that's the Xbox One. I don't think the PS4 does that.
Slim or Phat? because the Phat was loud
The PS4 automatically installs disc-based games as you play them in the background.

I see what you did there.
I believe its option to install games on PS4.
The PS4 has a system called PlayGo that caches all reads of the disc to the hard drive. If no reads are being done, PlayGo will gradually copy the entire game based off of developer defined priority.

Do PS3's excessively heat up when playing a blu-ray movie? That is hardly resource intensive lol. I don't think my slim ever does...
The latter question could be asked about any console or electronics device with a fan ever. As long as it very rarely reaches that upper most limit (which step-less fans aid towards), it shouldn't be an issue.
Webserver to me sounds like your hosting the stuff rather then a cloud machine doing the heavy lifting. It also a matter of Push vs Pull, when your the Webserver, your pulling info. as opposed to having it pushed to you by a cloud. It is an interesting choice of words, I guess we can count on host advantage, unlike every game on XBO having dedicated servers.
"What the hell is a stepless fan!"
Said MS engineer in amusement.
The word "generally" has me somewhat worried here. My PS3 phat isn't exactly quiet, especially after a hour under heavy-load. It isn't on the same level as the jet-egines of the Xbox 360, but it's annoying to hear.
- The noise level of the console during operation is generally much smaller than it was on the PS3.

The PS3 installed games, too.
Just because it "installs" them doesn't mean that it will never access the BD while you play. The PS3 installed games, too.

How do so many people think consoles are too loud? How do you even hear that shit when it's next to your TV?
I've had gaming PCs for many years, so I'm used to the sound. But really? Probably the same folks who wonder why their console melts when it's clogged with dust.
So you're guessing that it's not the phat model they're talking about and instead they're talking about the (super)slim model?I really don't think they're referring to Playstation 3 (phat).
