More stuff to load means more loading times. Easy enough. 360 dvd drive is faster than ps3 blu-ray drive. So in short Wii fastest 360 second PS3 third Though with sony adding compression to the ps3 developer stuff (playstation edge) the 360 and ps3 may differ slightly. Not to mentionion ps3 loading off hdd etc. In short. Don't worry about it, none of them are overly fast.

 wow your completely wrong. 1- Wii 2- PS3 3- 360.

 Reason being is that most PS3 devs will be developing their games to install things to the HDD which will also fast as heck or even no load times. The 360 devs dont really have that ability do to the core being designed without an HDD which means the HDD isnt standard. The PS3 games whoch load the games onto the HDD makes thngs way faster, but even MotorStorm which doesnt install a single thing on the HDD loads faster then most 360 titles. 


Lol, you don't play PC games, right ? Because even with full install, there is still loading times. Currently, only a few PS3 games can be installed (for around 4 Go) and it just halves the loading time.

Basically, loading on PS3 are clearly slower than on X360. No doubt about it.

"Basically, loading on PS3 are clearly slower than on X360. No doubt about it."

Not that I am defending any system, but would you be so kind to give us some examples, and if possible, for games that appear on both (or all three) platforms. I've been trying to find some "loading time" comparisons on the net, but to no avail!

I saw a side by side comparison of oblivion on 360 and PS3 (on YouTube or something), and although the 360 one loaded the game first, it then had to stop at various points while playing that game (ie to load the next area) whereas the PS3 one was seamless.

Not quite. While the 360 has the edge in optical speed, the PS3's Blu-Ray can use redundant data to speed up load times.

It's really up to the programmers.

the only time i notice loading on a Wii is trying to get onto a channel, most channels are good (about 5 secs) but the shop channel seems to take at least 10 but can be nearly 30....it's a good job i don't use it much.

games

wii sports and wii play: must be less than 2 seconds (i am assuming loading is when the screen goes black.)...not much to load on these two so it's not surprising.

SSX: min 5 secs max 10 when loading anything

twilight princess: no idea as most of it is hidden like when riding through the windy bits between the fields


 The shop chanel proberly has to get the data from the internet

I read somewhere that the PS3 had some issues with overall memory management that crippled its memory bandwidth... had to do with Cell and such... wish I had a link...

 

EDIT: I found it :P http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32171

 

Not sure how true is this tho

hahaha it doesnt really matter really I would put ps3 1st becuz when ur loading resistance all you have to do is press a button and its done, the only somehwat slow loads is in tony hawk and thats it the other games load fast very fas.


 Resistance was designed for streaming, so the game starts loading as it plays, which hides the actual loading. Not every game can do it, though.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

sure i dont.. im only formally cal-p in ut04 but no im not a pc gamer... idiot.

 if you have a computer properly speced for the game your trying to play then you wont have a problem. I have practically no load times. I'm running an QX6700 OCed to 5.2Ghz and Dual 8800Ultras. Load times for me are barely 4 seconds. Even starting Vista is a 10 second deal.
