PS3 Problem, some games are "laggy"

Vin{MBL} 5185 Posts August 30 2010 02:37 GMT #1 Overall, I've noticed my ps3's interface is running laggier/slower, and generally the loading times for games have lengthened. I've been recentely having this problem, where my FIFA 10 periodically 'lags/chops' every 3 seconds and it makes the game unplayable. I get it online and offline. Can anyone tell me if they're having this problem also, and if there is a solution. I noticed I've been having it with my FIFA 09 disc too, but the both discs are clean and the FIFA 10 was working completely fine 2 weeks ago. I'd appreciate anyone's input/help. Thanks.

The only complaint I have is that I can no longer stream videos through the PS3. I use to be able to stream shows via megavideo/upload ect, but now it just doesn't work. I thought it was just a patch, but my brother's slim still streams.

Vin{MBL} 5185 Posts August 30 2010 02:51 GMT #5 I don't think its the disc, because both fifa 09 and 10 give the same problem. Also, it's a ps3 slim It could be a recent firmware update though, but do you know how to rollback on that? Is it just an option in the PS3 menu or do you need a special program to do it?

miseiler United States1389 Posts August 30 2010 03:12 GMT #7 I've seen the lag issue you describe on a friend's up-to-date PS3 slim playing guitar hero, where my pre-linux-removal patch PS3 fat plays it very smoothly. I haven't helped you narrow it down, but I have seen the bug, or a similar one.

Im 90% sure its the servers but if its happening to you offline then i don't know what the problem could be. edit: just saw you said its your ps3 in general, its probably the ps3 itself then, it can't be the discs if your interface as a whole is also affected.
