Congratulations you are about to hate Sony. Your ps3 will plod ( yellow light of death) before too long. Maybe five minutes or five weeks but it WILL overheat and cutoff. I have fixed over twenty of the "fat" ps3s and its the same on all of them. The thermal compound Sony uses on the motherboard is not very good, causing the processors to overheat and come unsoldered. If you are good with electronics it can be done at home with a good heat gun and some arctic silver 5 thermal compound. Check fixmyplaystation.com or ps3repaired.com for good guides. Or search for gilsky files and watch the master at work.
make effective your discs are spotless once you position them in, unlike with Xbox with standard dvd ROMs, the bluray discs for ps3 are very tender to something that would want to be on the bottom. they ought to nonetheless artwork yet your ps3 will make humorous noises operating the IR scanner up and down the disc attempting to examine it.
it might be your console is overheating o the fan needs to work harder, this happened to my xbox and it red ringed so your ps3 might die out so be prepared for that
It's fine don't worry
