Edit: Clearly the model doesnt matter. My mistake. Anyway...

So far its been running at about 38 fps for me with all settings on high. If 60 fps isnt that big of a deal to you like it isnt for me, I highly recommend it, its very pretty. I'm going to test how it runs with the new water and probably play it on ultra, just to see, depending on how things go on high.

There was some slight slow down during my playtime last night, but it was negligable. Otherwise, it still ran surprisingly well. I specified 500gb because i was under the impression each tier had different performance outputs and didnt want to speak for the other models, so my bad.

Nothing? I just think maybe it performs better with more space? Who cares tbh

No, not really. Of course if you are using a disk that's full you're going to have issues but as long as you have 16Gb free the performance will largely be the same for gaming.

I believe OP is either a child, or perhaps trolling.

Read that username and tell me that isn't an Xbox live gamertag from 2008.

Oh nice. Excuse me if I made a mistake in thinking each model performed differently. It clearly doesn't matter, I made an honest mistake. Apparantly it's a big deal here so by all means keep talking shit.

That's not really how it works. It'll load quicker than on the 64 GB eMMC model, but that's due to different technologies and nothing to do with storage space.
