In the grand pantheon of things gamers like to do I would say that we like comparing things almost as much as making top ten lists about things. Whenever the opportunity arises we like to compare two things together whether they be apples and apples or apples and oranges. The latest opportunity to comparehas arisenand the two subjects are thePS3 (Phat) and the PS3 Slim. Size wise the Slim wins, but what about in speed? Is the Phat deceptively quick or does the Slim’s lithe body give it the speedier loading times.
Ore-tekicompared the two systems and found out that the Slim was slower than the Phat and also showing that the Slim is faster than the Phat. Through four tests that are in the videos above and below the Phat came out ahead in start up and DVD loading, but the Slim won out in starting and loadingBatman: Arkham Asylum. What are the reasons? Who really knows. The videos are reportedly done on the same system so it isn’t the hard drive. Maybe it has something to do with firmware, but who knows. It’s a mystery!
So what has this comparison garnered us? We know which system will get us toBatmanfaster, and that is the system that wins. Winner = PS3 Slim.
