A personal investigation into the varying models of the PS3

[Spankey]

Launch 60GB PAL PS3 (with 250GB 5400rpm HDD)
SONY Bavia 1080p LCD
Using HDMI, Audio through Optical out
Controllers used in bluetooth mode, not plugged in
No noticable slow-down or ignored "flicks" on KZ2, except during load screens for about a second or so
Using the PS3 for upscaling, not the TV where possible
No noticable problems with other games, although I did have a Fallout 3 crash or two, and Bioshock sometimes took about 2 or so seconds to load some textures when starting from a reloaded save, but largely unnoticeable
