60GB launch model... no "lag"
40GB model at work (don't ask)... no "lag"


It's a user perception thing, pretty sure. People are used to being superhuman in video games.

Did you try simply burst or single shot firing and paying close attention when performing melee/jump actions?  Try those on the 40GB model to see if you see any delay.  Also, was the controller plugged in via charger?  And what was your TV?

That's not what I was saying at all.  You are the only one seeming to think this and has a problem with it.  I'm not trying to flame the PS3 at all, merely trying to find out if there is any truth in this.  If video games are such a big part of your life that little things like this irk you the wrong way, perhaps you should take a break or visit a videogame addiction center because your outbursts are childish and uncalled for.

Home I have a couple year-old LCD (HDMI), I was using my DS3 controller wirelessly.

Work is a monster projection TV (Component), was using DS3 controller connected via USB.  I don't notice any difference.  I'm pretty used to the game though -- seemed mildly laggy at the beginning, but I just don't percieve it anymore.  Only took about 30 mins of playing before I no longer notic ed.  Frankly, I love the heavy feel, which is why I'm not gonna gripe about it.  Superspeed and hopping around levels is lame, and always has been.
