Show me where? All the hardware specs say 12X, they say nothing about dual layer. How am I being ignorant? I asked you to show me where, I would like to learn if I am wrong, but you refuse to show me. Anyways, some quick searching found me this, though I doubt you will look at it,

Those are two dvd drives that show the dual layer read speed is LESS than the specified read speed of the drive. Yes, it is not a 12X drive, but it gives an idea of how they work and this is much more credible than your bs.

Neither of those is the drives in the 360 and neither run custom firmaware designed for a console.  Come on where is your proof, all I say is supposition in those links with no basis of fact to prove your theory.  Like I said previously YOU made the claim of 8x read speed on DL, it's for you to prove not me.  Your "proof" isn't credible in the slightest and you're still talking bs yourself.

Really, you're the one that should need to prove your point if anyone does.  I don't know a lot about this kind of subject, but it seems like it's pretty widely accepted that even though a drive may be 12x, when it reads a dual layer it reads slower.

The 360 may have something special, but since that's beyond the norm it would make more sense for you to show that.  Feylic has already shown a good number of times his point even if the best examples are from a wiki.

That said, I'm still not sure if a dual layer BlueRay reads at half speed, I can't really find anything anywhere that says it does or doesn't.  Since it's widely accepted that reading a dual layer disc takes twice as long, it makes sense that reading a dual layer bluRay disc would take twice as long (and talking with someone else who knows more than I do help me get to that decision). 

Therefore, at least in FFXIII's case, the 360 version reads data quicker and there's not even any need for you to go and search for your proof.
