Same here FF...not that it matters, but i think we both have 60s right?

Guys on other boards are complaining about the same thing. It must be 2.70 that is kicking these fans into level 2 sooner than expected. It helped mine out a bit getting all that dust out.

I haven't read anything yet, but I would have thought it had to do with the FW update, This is not the first time a FW update has made my PS3 loud. I'm really not worried about it.

Is it in a open area? Could be overheating

In my experience, the louder fan kicking on all the time was indeed a sign of bad things, but those bad things took a long time to come around. I just replaced by old unit less than a month ago, and it had been having problems for almost a year. So, in other words, the lifespan of a PS3 with fan problems can still be a year or so. The one I replaced even still works, I just didn't want any more hassle. FWIW.

I will stick to my guns and still say it's a firmware issue, the loud noise only come when playing the show, every other game is quite.

My PS3 only sounds weird when playing The Show. Funny thing is it did not start happening until the Patch came out a week or so ago. No other that I play in my rotation makes my PS3 loud like the Show. After 4 mos since switching from the 360 I love my PS3. If something were to happen I would buy another PS3 before a 360. Sony has finally got my money. 360 is still a great machine but for my the PS3 has made me a happy player. Peace!!!!!
