well maybe I was unlucky when at friends to hear the fan being quite noisy for my tastes.
It's all the more a problem if someday PlayTv can record in HD and I need to record things at night, in my bedroom. I have a low tolerance for noise. That could explain why I pinpointed that.

Also, the other benefit of waiting is that SSD will continue to get cheaper and cheaper. So by the time the PS3 does all I want, I might be able to put a SSD inside to not even hear a disk spinning (at night again) and supress the last moving part, other than the optical drive of course.
