PS3 Slim Slower Than PS3?

Thats funny the PS3s Hard Drive is 5400rpm, it all depends on how much you have on your HDD and even though the TVs look the same model it could be slightly different would could also change the outcome.

i read this article saying, that in the ps3 update 3.o, when starting a game up, it wont say "playstation 3" anymore, you know? that spiderman font? that last video was only faster because on the slim, it didnt say playstation 3, im guessing the slim was already instealled with 3.0

Are you all kidding me?
Slim is only "a little bit" slower on boot up and running Bluray movies. Guess what this is propaly because of down downsetting the frequency on the core, to produce even less heat and noise and consuming even less power.

In gameloading it is a little bit faster (maginal).

Dick, the PS3 slim is only slow by 3 seconds the most. What are people bitching for? Sounds like a load of crap coming from PS3 fanboys.

That speed difference is pretty minimal, don't see it as a deal breaker. Do we know if it preforms slower in games?

what the hell the way they got it labled in the pictures the slim is loading faster.

this article is bullnookies the hdd in all ps3s are 5400 rpm hdds.

So much for an Xbox killer. Good job Sony. Keep this up and your screw right out of the market.

So...uh....

You have 2 videos of it being slower. Then you have 2 videos of it being faster. Yet the article is titled "PS3 Slim Slower Than PS3". I would say that it breaks even. Plus, certain load times don't necessarily make a difference. The only concern is if its slower during actual gameplay.

Despite the fact that the creator of the videos uses the same type of HDD in each PS3, we don't know if the older model has the specified game info and bluray info cached and thus happens to load faster sometimes.

stupid vdo clip ...
is it slower ? .. i don't think so

It's not a big deal, not like it's slower by 10 seconds or something.

But i do know that watch blu-ray movies are slower by a TINY bit, like 1 or 2 seconds slower. But it doesn't matter, as i know playing games on the PS3 are slightly faster though.

Sorry didn't realise i was not logged in just now =/

Someone mentioned that the PS3 Slim's Blu-Ray drive is more like that of something that would be used in a laptop.

In other words, the load time for Blu-Ray and Games could be due to read speed differences between the original Blu-Ray Drive and the new one being employed.

Artefact you got homo-fantard-pastor boys running the circus here.

and we say, that playstation 3 is better than XBOX in slower terms?

PS3 Slim cost $399 in North America, PS3 and PS3 Slim do not have same price. PS3 Slim is much cheaper than PS3.

i'm happy with my first generation 60 GB model... glad i didn't wait to buy it later, seeing how it gets worse and worse with each new model

yes i have the fastest ps3 then yeah fat owns its nice looking and faster!!!!!!! we old timers are the best

Minor delay and what? It looks sexy

It was already stated that the silm would have less power, so it's no surprise if it's a tiny bit slower at parts
and the faster parts would be thanks to a new firmware right?

Fuck consoles! PC FTW

FIrmware 3.0 is supposed to remove the Playstation 3 logo that appears after you click on a game. It just seems the PS3 slim has the functionality built into it.

Already have every system. Don't care.

They are both the same speed! And even if they are not we have all got what we want a cheaper affordable ps3. Who cares if it's faster or slower, as long as we all have the opportunity to own one, or two in my case!

i wanna get a PS3 --- slim... but if slower... is there any custom firwares for PS3 yet? maybe there'll be a speed patch or something :P

wow can u say xbot fan like come on bud get a life, all ur tryin to do is hurt sales and man u aint got shit alrite man go back and suck on ur moms tits alrite fagot peace

still don't care...

gonna wait a year to buy the slim one. let 'em work all this kinks out.

I read this article saying that in the new ps3 update, when starting a game um it will no longer say "playstation 3" as you can see in that last video, that video starting a game up, you can see in the ps3 slim it did not say "playstation 3" D:

Indeed the older versions are faster :O!

It's not like you'll notice startup times anyway, since the PS3 spends most of its time gathering dust between half-decent 1st party releases.

I still spit in SONY's eye...
...with my dick

Could this be do to the newer firmware on it?
mabee.

who cares? At least no RROD for me... I'd rather have a slower console than one that doesn't even work hahaha

the video is a fubar. you can easily tell that the video is rig, unless you got bad eyesight. it's like having a regular tv w/ cable box vs hdtv w/ hd cable box.

As long as the FPS is the same, it doesnt matter to me :p

Don't care. Not like i can afford a ps3 anyway.

Maybe all these "Anonymous" people would get registered if Artefact changed Anonymous to something silly. Like if unregistered users would show up as random shitty nicknames like iluvhorses93, shadow_vampire_xxx and inuyashagurrrl...

It can't be helped

so the slim's faster for shit tier games?

well, the slower booting is not a real problem right?

If it has the same "speed" when you're playing a game then that's just the same.

well, until it lags, now that's a problem

WHERE ARE 3 SECONDS OF MY LIFE I WANT THE BACK NAO!

Slimmer = Slower

I guess some later benchmarks might interest me.

Umm... yeah.

Oh god, I want my precious seconds of my life back.
