360 is easier to program

BRs' transfer rate < DVDs'

-------------------------------

What else ?

Fixed

 

 

Transfer rate ''HD DVD < DVD < CD''

Wii easier to program than Xbox360

Fixed ver 2.00

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha....

 

What are you talking about CD transfer rate isn't faster than DVD. Don't tell me you think because CD's fastest drives are around 50x and DVD's around 20x....

 

lol

 

Base (1×) and (current) maximum speeds by generation

Generation	Base	Max
(Mbit/s)	(Mbit/s)	×
1st (CD)	1.17	65.62	56×
2nd (DVD)	10.55	210.94	20×
3rd (BD)	36	432	12× [2]

 

The DVD drive on the Xbox 360 is rated at 7x at the centre to 12x at outer edge, the Bluray drive on the PS3 is rated at 2x

 

Let's assume maximum 56x transfer for CD (outer edge) and what, 24x for the inner circle?, and work this out...

 

CD = 28.08 - 65.52 = 46.8mbit

PS3 = 72mbit

Xbox 360 = 73.85 - 126.6mbit Average = 100.225mbit

 

I've actually been pretty tight on the Xbox 360 here as since the transfer rate is variable, assets that need it will be placed on the outer edge of the disc, and assets that don't need to be loaded as fast say for streaming and music would be placed at the inner edge. With the Playstation 3 your stuck with 72mbits wherever your data is on the disc. Not only that but seek times on Bluray drives are much much higher than on DVD drives.

Conclusion? Leave being clever to people with facts to back up their answer ;)

yea the dvd reader in the xbox360

min speed: 5.0x

min transfer rate 6,923,077 Bytes/sec

Average speed: 8.5x

Average transfer rate :11,769,231 Bytes/sec

an if the Disc is not full the Average speed will be lower, the Min is reading the start of any disc

the 12x is only when reaching the outer most part of the disc
