You're the clown TALIKNG ABOUT YOUR PS3 AS IF IT IS A PC. BF3 on the ps has some framerate drops.
Considering his attitude and approach to people so far in this thread, it comes as no surprise that he carries that attitude with him elsewhere too.
You shouldn't make assumptions on people you don't know, I'm not rude in reality, I'm persistent online at times because it can help. I asked repeatedly @battlefield and I got my answer, so it was worth it. I doubt they're going to cry themselves to sleep if I ask a question a few times. An my attitude is in line with other peoples' abrupt, rude responses and for good reason. Sure, I maybe treating the PS3 more like a PC in regards to it's HDD, but I have no idea what else is causing this problem. You folks haven't helped you've just basically been calling me a moron the entire time. But think what you will. Nobody apart from ps3ud0 has been helpful. kdd the rudest of the lot. Phantom FPS drops my ass. I am well aware that there are FPS drops, don't talk to me as if I'm an invalid, I can see the drops for myself, but what I don't understand is why I'm constantly at the end of prolonged FPS drops, while others are not. Not imaginary. Since kdd is the wizard of experts related to all things console, you figure out the mystery.
Instead of coming in here just for the sake of arguing or being not at all helpful, why don't you folks just take a leaf out of your own books and instead of posting, contribute elsewhere if you think it is a waste of time spent here.
Thanks. Oh an yes it's probably a load of ** please star out all swearies *** , but why did @Battlefield claim a HDD upgrade for BF3 on PS3 would benefit 'gameplay'. (I do not consider load times to maps, gameplay)
Peace <<< (that word)
You really need to try a different hard drive if your convinced that is the cause.
Have you actually seen other ps3s in person while playing bf3 on your own ps3, or are you just relying on what your friend is saying while you play online? If your friend is saying he doesn't have fps issues in Skyrim I'd be inclined to suggest they aren't as sensitive to low fps as you appear to be.

. But when I was playing Wake Island one day an me and friend sat under a roof getting battered by helos and the world, etc, I had the most awful frame rate imaginable. I asked if he experienced the same thing, he said no, I'm at 30fps. I was quite shocked at that claim, so I went to the BF3 forum where folks with 120GB PS3s an claimed the same thing. When I asked the guy I play BF3 with if he had any FPS issues with Skyrim, he too said no. I couldn't fathom why I was getting such problems. My only conclusion was the HDD. It works, it functions, it reads data, it writes, but it seems inefficient.
I seem to be stuck at a dead end. Now I don't know if it's worth upgrading at all, or whether I should just stop playing BF3 and Skyrim altogether - which I'd rather not do. (I know Skyrim performs badly on the PS3 for other reasons too).
your not stuck at a dead end.
The people saying "its fine" are talking out of their backsides. BF3 initially shipped with reduced destruction because of the effects it can have on performance.
With the back to karkand expansion they turned it back up. But the problem is now that the enhanced destruction when its in full effect (like being battered by attack chopper rockets) reduces the frame rate on consoles (both PS3 and xbox) to stupid levels.
Others who say they haven't experienced it probably haven't played those B2K maps and experienced the slowdown that happens when everything starts kicking off and the game has to calculate destruction on your screen for like 9 or 10 different walls / roofs /surfaces etc..
Nothing to do with your hard drive or your network. Poor frame rate is the result of a poorly optimized game by DICE.

how many have noticed slowdown in frame rate when buildings are being destoryed on the B2K maps and see who agrees with you.

You are really angry at Sony for providing equipment as they designed it to be used?
Awesome.

My old man's ps3 (one of the first slims) has the slowest hard drive in the world, its painful to use so im guessing the drive this guy has is the same as his. Ive had 3 ps3's and they were all at least 2 or 3x quicker.
Awesome for not reading the other posts where I said I wasn't actually angry I was more disappointed than anything else.
kdd it is now evident that you are nothing but a troll. I acknowledge that, let's move on.
MrLoL, true true. I might just upgrade anyway for piece of mind haha. 160GB Western Digital Scoprio Blue for £35, can't argue. Get myself a bit of extra space at the same time. :\
What a jolly good thread this was.

U has 80 meg internet?
Skyrim runs like crap on the PS 3 after a while unless u start a new game after the latest patch.
Also, Games are also loaded off the bluray AND the hard drive, even if it installs. U will notice if its hard drive lag as the light will be flashing while the game slows. Or it could be a slow bluray drive, Or just connection lag.

Where did you even get this reading from?
Playstation Secrets. Probably inaccurate right? 83mb/s
An to the last guy. Yes, the slowdown shows the HDD light almost on completely.
One of the @Battlefield guys said "yes that would most definitely benefit gameplay" when I asked about a HDD upgrade for BF3. If he considers map loading "gameplay" then maybe he shouldn't answer questions? :| lol
