One thing I noticed PS3 BR runs extremely quite. Also I love how in Uncharted there is no load times (actually loads as you go).

It's quiet because it doesn't have to spin up to the speeds required for DVD to transfer a similar amount of data.


Correct, more data per track means one disc circulation reads more data.

IMO the silence of the PS3's drive compared to the 360's drive as well as mandatory scratch resistance for Blu-Ray discs are of huge (underhyped) longterm consumer value.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
