Hi, I noticed that the 2nd and 3rd place times were seperated by a minute and that the 2nd place time was using a backwards compatible ps3 and that the 3rd place time was using a regular ps2. I know that the load times vary from game to game, but i havent really been able to find any data on whether its faster to use a BCSPS3 with regular game discs for certian games, so i figured i may well ask here.

For this specific game, yes, it definitely is a little bit faster, for an any% run, this results in about half a minute faster. This doesn't translate well to ALL games, but it definitely does for Ape Escape 2
