    Just a thought but an SSD also works in a PS3 too. Apparently it can halve the loading times compared to a standard HDD.

    I am aware of this, but I'm unwilling to spend any money to keep this clunker afloat. :p It's a bonus that this HDD is 250GB, up from 160GB.

    Fair enough. Wolud also work in a PS4 if you got one. I used a near free 320GB to fix mine earlier last year.

    Hardly any difference, PS3 SATA controller is bottleneck.

    Not much improvement in the PS4 either, I've heard.

    Depends, some games are more noticeable but controller is still bottleneck. There is a worthwhile difference for the PS4 but not nearly as much as you'd expect if the same drives were installed in a PC.

    So it seems I finally had some luck go my way on my third 4-in-a-row TITTS win to claim that elusive special (special) result: the clean sweep.
    I'd clipped an invisible barrier near the start of the race at SSR7 and was running last by some margin, but a big pile up a quarter lap later allowed me to thread the needle with @emmo46 up to 4th position.

    This was followed up with @Hatfield ghosting from the lead to pick a fight with an insect and @Knuckles slowing down (too much) in response, just another quarter lap down the road.
    I almost didn't get the FL after losing a lot of momentum at the same wall that caused the Lap 1 pile up, but had saved up just enough laughing gas to take it by only 0.06s over Hat's FFX in the end. :laugh:

    I generally like a little oversteer on corner entry but that was a bit extreme.o_O

    Did @Jaycie end up using both of those cars?
    Also, who used the other Veyron?
