hey guys, did you guys ever experience sound came out from your ps 3? my sound is like the disc/lens reader part. i mean even there is no disc inside the ps3, there is a sound like ' ku rok...' it not that often but once a while. what does that mean? got problem ah?

and i put my ps3 flat on my table and find it quite hot at the back and the below the ps3. how to make it cooler instead of pumping air con in the room whole day? should i buy external fan for it?

depends on your ps3 hdd data.... more contents = extra hrs in back up

i think out of 298G, my available space for my HDD now left 160+G? that is like around 130G i have used. Maybe 2 hours time?

I read somewhere in the internet and it says that FAT32 has limited storage space. Let's say i got one 320G external HDD and it can be formatted into FAT32. Will it able to backup my ps3 data and games? FYI, My ps3 data + downloaded games has eaten up my ps3 storage around 200G.
