Did you read those two lines above pictures? Those Devkits are Extremely Loud - PS3 fanatics should stop complaining about how loud 360 is if they don' t want their asses kicked in November :)
I can' t complain about the 360 being loud. have they heard the first run ps2' s, and how loud they are
at the time, i was reparing ps2' s so i had two running in my room. A ps2' s from launch night one, and an scph 5001. (the last model before the slim, i think) the difference between the two was amazing. the original, i had to turn the tv up just to hear because of all the whirring and clicking noises. The scph 5001 was dang near silent as it was loading, all there was was a few clicks and a small low pitched whine. needless to say, i swapped my launch night ps2 for the better model, and Ebay-ed the old one.
It won' t be long before microsoft quiets it down a bit.
