PS3 Slim slower than fat. Is that normal?

Hey guys I just got my 160gb to replace my 80gb which died. But anyways I noticed that the slim runs alot slower than my 80gb. Like when i go to the trophie section during a game it takes at least 30 seconds to load it up. while my 80gb would be 5 secs tops. Is that normal for the slim to run a bit slower?

Also did sony add a better disc laser in the slim? or is it all the same parts and such.

Thanks alot guys and its nice to be back on PSN :)

I pretty sure it isn't supposed to do that. Contact Pltstation and I'm sure they can give you an awnser

When it took 30 seconds was that the first time you synced up the trophies since you got the PS3 Slim? It takes extra long to download the trophies from an existing account onto the harddrive and I think the more trophies you have the longer it takes. So once their all downloaded onto your harddrive, it should sync faster the next time you do it. Either that or the sony servers are just running slow or theres a problem with your internet speed. I don't think the PS3 hardware itself can effect such things.

As for the disc lazor, I have no idea. I've certainly found the disc drive itself to be more louder when the disc is spinning than my FAT 60GB PS3. I wouldn't be surprised if they used cheaper hardware in it to save money. I just hope they fixed the YLOD issue.

I believe it's the other way around.

No my internet is DSL and for the sync it was done already. Everytime I go to the xmb menu during a game to see what trophies I unlocked or what trophies i need to get, it takes about 25 to 30 seconds to load it up.

But for the system it runs silent and doesnt get hot at all. I did look up problems with the slim and thats what I was looking out for. But the system runs cool and is silent, I guess i can live with the slow load time of the trophies. But its only ingame. If I am just on the menu without a game running in the background it loads up fine.

Something is wrong, my slim is faster (a little overall) then my 60GB model.
