God of War Creator: I would not include Blu-ray

Well I said the average is around 12x (actually slightly lower like I said). That means part is slower than blu-ray and part is faster. Blu-ray is constant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray shows the speeds, and 2x is 72Mb/s which is 9MB/s (bits versus bytes, 8 bits per byte). That's read speeds. The bit rates for various things are on that wikipedia link and show blu-ray being faster than hd-dvd and of course dvd for audio, video, and transfer. Again, dual-layer reads are slower and hard drives are much faster than either anyway.

I noticed, that i wrote bit instead of Byte. I was a bit in a hurry, when i read your earlier post, so i didn't read and think at the same time. And i couldn't check your link, because those wikipedia links are pretty shitty with Symbian OS. Anyway. That the read speed averages on DVD, mean that at the center of the data area, speed is (for example 4x ~40Mbps) what the manufacturer has told it to be and at the end its much higher (and at the start much lower). Isn't the std read speed for BD 4.3MBps? So with half of the 360 speed, PS3 has about 1MBps advantage (in average), and thats not so much anymore. But by filling the disc with something, what the drive skips, we are able to get more speed for average (if disc isn't full). But i can see your point (at least i think so) and don't argue with that. And there are also the tracking times, of which i don't know that what they are on each console. Yes, but when we are using the HDD, it's pretty much meaningless if the games were even on a CD.
