      Quoted from Review Section:

      "Currently, the existing J-K model and the new model at similar prices at Amazon are offered. I had two models for direct comparison. Because I want to use the PS3 often than Blueray player, I was particularly interested in the noise. Externally both models are very similar. Shape and dimensions of the housing and the connections are identical. In the K-model, only the narrow side surfaces are not smooth / rough but shiny / dull as the rest of the keypad and not silver-coated black instead of shiny. In addition, the keys are no longer lit and lacks the Wi-Fi indicator light. Basically, the fan is the PS3 is not silent, as sometimes described. The fan speed is controlled depending on temperature. The first 15 minutes after a cold start you can hear the fan in the first speed but little or only at close range (less than 1 m apart). If the PS3 is getting warmer, the fan jumps in the second stage and is heard more clearly (but only if the TV sound turned off). Between J and K model only a small difference in the noise, the drive sounds were subjectively the same. Disk accesses are at normal background noise in movies or games clearly audible, but may occur rarely or only the beginning. The J model has been operating in the game a bit warmer, so the fan speed was higher and was slightly louder than the K-model (both devices were completely free). The K model was several hours behind the vents only lukewarm. I just decided therefore to the K-model CECH-3004B. Apparently, the intensity of the scattered noise operation within a series of machines that perhaps was the J-model just happens a little louder. Overall, the difference between the two devices that were available to me only minimally"

          Save your money for a Kinect if you don't have one, a kid would probably have more fun with that. Blu-ray players are around $100 anyway. A proper streaming solution would be better as this has Cinavia copy protection too.

      I just traded in my 360 for a sweet PS3 deal and I havem't looked back ever since. I never used Xbox live either, but setting up the PS3 on the wifi is all to easy then your straight into playing games online.

      Other than the required game install/update everytime you insert a new game I'm much happier now.

    Thanks guys! This is an excellent deal! I'm actually still waiting for Target to receive my back order of the 160gb PS3 .. been at least 3 weeks now but I jumped at this deal due to the bigger hdd, the warranty isn't any worry for me as I've been repairing my old ps3 for YLOD for a while now!

    Ended up paying $236 AUD I guess the exchange rate changes all the time so that would explain it..

        Could be… as with games it would use the GPU alot more to render your games.. you will most likely find the old thermal paste that sony originally put on is now dried up and does nothing for you now..

          beakeroo on 18/07/2012 - 09:25

          Cook the motherboard (seriously) strip it down to the mobo and throw it in the oven. The GPU is coming loose from the mobo caused by overheating over time. I done mine on a BBQ a couple of years ago, I'll find a link to it.

          Edit/ http://muppet-modding.com/showthread.php?tid=21

          Remember to cover any plastic parts in tin foil as shown in pic to prevent melting. Preheat oven/BBQ for ten minutes on max setting place mobo in for ten to twenty minutes. The mobo will be hot and slightly not so rigid when you remove it so be sure to be careful and place it on a flat surface ASAP. Can also be done with a good heat gun directly to the GPU if you have one. Don't bother buying anything cheap and underpowered though as it won't heat it fast enough and over cooking it isn't a great idea.

        •  
          Gomo on 18/07/2012 - 09:42

          Don't be so cheap lol.. my mate did this with his PS3 and completely destroyed it even used tin foil but it blew off (Fan forced) Bunnings should have a heat gun for under $20 use that on both sides all over the mobo,

          I would recommend you do some research on the net first about reflow / reflux

        •  
          beakeroo on 18/07/2012 - 09:52

          I couldn't be assed waiting on the heat gun at the time, it arrived a couple of days later but this did the trick fine. I've done a couple in the oven as well since when I couldn't find my heat gun, lol. If done right it is fine. Your mate should have put the foil on better.

          the psn account is region related, so your foreign games can't play online with your au account - no matter the machine from au, germany or us. the easy solution is to create multiply psn accounts for multiple regions.

        •  
          PoxyRadical on 18/07/2012 - 18:23

          As long as you create an account for that region, then redeem the online code, you can play on any account after that no matter what region. I do that all the time, I have US, Japan and Aus accounts.
