So I've had a PS3 slim (120 gb) that I got back in December of '09, and just recently I noticed something that's slightly irritating me. I've been playing the Black Ops campaign, and fairly often there will be like a split second pause in the framerate. I'm suspicious it might be the disk, but then again I have a similar problem in the downloadable game Dungeon Hunter Alliance, where the screen will pause for a very brief instance. It's not game breaking, but it is annoying - I'm not really sure, what do you guys think? Am I overreacting?

Is it just the gamplay or does the sound also skip? I wouldn't worry too much, while I played Mafia II the gameplay froze for a sec or so like that with the sound being fine. My guess is it's just the game.

Yeah the sound from what I could tell was fine. I'm probably jumping to conclusions. I think tomorrow I'll try out a couple of other games and see if the issue persists.
