How noisy is it? How does that compare with dedicated blu-ray players?

It is pretty quiet. The only time I really notice the PS3 being noisy is while loading Uncharted. I didn't notice that in any other game. During movies, it doesn't make a sound. I've gone to using the PS3 to play my regular DVDs and free up an input on the receiver (as well as a shelf on the entertainment system).
