| SickleSigh said: The 40gb models are identical to the 80gb new models and the old 80gb MGS B/C model. The old 60gb and 20gb models had a 95nm chip while the 40/and both 80s have a 65nm chip and their power consumption reduced. Their fans run slower, but when playing long periods the fan will get louder then a 60gb or 20gb model.
So in conclusion if theres a problem with the 20gb model theres a problem with the 60gb. If theres an issue with the 40, theres an issue with both 80gb. |
As I said, perhaps this perceived lag in at least Killzone 2 is just that. Some people see it, some don't. Just like that one person watched the youtube video and saw nothing wrong, while me and others watch it and see the delay between button press and actual fire animation.
Since it could be an object of perception, I will try to get ahold of a few different models just to confirm this. If it is just perception I should notice this perceived lag on both the launch consoles as well as any newer versions.
Also, we do not know the minor revisions Sony did for the 40GB model. It is not a factual statement to say it is identical to the 80GB BC and new 80GB except for hard drive, because Sony could very well have changed a few other small things to save some money as Squilliam pointed out earlier. If, however, the 40GB really, officially, is identical to the 80GB models, then again, this must just be a perception issue after all. I just assumed everyone could notice it, but if you watch that youtube video and don't notice it, you aren't going to notice it in game either so perhaps the issue is simply that some people do not pay close enough attention to such a minor thing to notice, or they simply think it is a perfectly normal animation delay.
Either way, I shall know soon enough because I will test my theory on a 20GB launch model by the end of the week.
