PS3 beats 360 on cold boot time... and looses on a game designed for the 360... go figure
that aimed at me? (maybe you could use the quote button so people know who you are talking about)Not figured out multiquote yet, Dave?
*plus, need to get my post count up after i was robbed of about 1000 for leaving admin!
because the ps3 only has a read speed of around 8mbps
Hmm.. i do believe that to be bollox..
The 1X data transfer rate for Blu-ray Disc is 36Mbps for data and 54Mbps for movies.
never thought about changing it tbh as i use it about equal for gaming and movies, might change it, its just that when i put a hd-dvd in i don't even know theres a game in the dvd drive, pain of having to separate drives really, would be better if the hd-dvd was integrated.i've not noticed tbh, got any examples?
if i put a hd-dvd in my xbox and then start it up, it automatically loads the game first and i have to wait to be able to get into the dashboard, then once i am in i have to wait for live to slowly log in, and then i can go down and start the movie.
with my ps3, i put it in and seconds later i am watching it, so wheres the delay?
It bugs me too. There is an option to stop it automatically starting the game but I cant find it.
what annoys me is their tag line.You are all getting too technical about this. Its simple, Maroon boxes look shite. Bright Blue is cool...

it boots meybe 1 second faster, but loads EVERY game half as fast, simply because it reads much slower than a standard dvd9 drive.

Think he got confused with Mbps and MBps. 54Mbps is under 7MBps. Which is slower than 12x DVD speed.

So should you
You should learn to use your shift key.
36mbps = ~8.9MB/s
8mbps = ~1MB/s
I was duplicating what was already posted and posting the correct terminology. I have nothing to apologise for...
i've not noticed tbh, got any examples?If Blu Ray has such a high transfer rate, then can someone explain why the loading times on the PS3 are so embarrassing?
if i put a hd-dvd in my xbox and then start it up, it automatically loads the game first and i have to wait to be able to get into the dashboard, then once i am in i have to wait for live to slowly log in, and then i can go down and start the movie.

lol, how many people are going to mention this, i haven't even looked to change the feature as i use it more for games, its just when i do use a movie as its a separate drive i always forget a game is in the tornado so go through all that.i've not noticed tbh, got any examples?

So you missed the option to launch straight to dashboard on power-up then?
just got this from a mate at Sony.

Toshiba says HD DVD format isn't dead yet
Filed under: DVD, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD | by : luk |
Computerworld: Two days after losing an important ally in the high-definition format battle, Toshiba Corp. put on a defiant face at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and declared that the HD DVD format is a long way from being dead."We remain firm in the belief that HD DVD is the format best suited to the wants and needs of consumers," said Akio Ozaka, head of Toshiba America Consumer Products, at a news conference. He said Toshiba was surprised by Warner Bros. Entertainment's announcement on Friday last week that it will release its high-definition DVD titles exclusively in the Blu-ray disc format beginning later this year.
"We are especially surprised that this decision was made in spite of the significant momentum that HD DVD has gained in the U.S. market and other regions," he said.
With the major studios leaving HD-DVD I don't really see the need to get excited about the new larger capacity disc. Very little use if it has no media available to store.

Price cuts = desperation
Blu-ray quad layer = 100GB (49GB more than the best HD-DVD)
HD-DVD = ow3nd
