Thomas,
Your post implies that your PS3 will need to be on all the time for you to be able to remote play. This does not appear to be the case. As I understand it, the PS3 will be in sleep mode so I doubt the fan will be running at all. The system will essentially wake-on-lan when you connect and then will return to sleep when you disconnect.

I don't know much about the system, but it has built in wireless right? Wake on LAN would require an ethernet connection, otherwise to have the remote access feature the machine would have to be on so the wireless connection can stay connected.

@Jimmy,
Strange as it seems, my colleague in Japan has updated his system and tested. Even though the PS3 is "off" (aka, sleeping, waiting for remote wake) the fan continues to run. It's quiet, but it's definitely running.
