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.

Franly, like I care about your CV ?

Tell me how long it takes on your computer to load DiRT ? Half Life 2 ? It's not instantly. Yet, you obviously have a strong config, and on those games, you can have a FULL install. You don't have full install on PS3 games.

Genji can be installed and in game, you still have some loading times. Short (normal ?) ones. But still.

 

" 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!"

Don't have times, but have this :

"There are also some very lengthy and frequent load times in the game, and they're worse on the PlayStation 3 than in the other versions of the game. " coming from gamespot review of FN3 ( http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/fightnightround3/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=tabs&tag=tabs%3Breviews&page=2 ).

"To top it all off, the PS3 version suffers from tediously long load times " coming from gamespot review of FEAR (http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/fear/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary%3Breview&page=2)

It's not on every games, but that's a common situation. Basically, it's because the X360 DVDx12 read faster (on the outer part of the DVD) than the PS3 BR.

 

The comparison
Mb = megabits
MB =megabytes

Blu-ray 1x: 36Mbps / 4.5MBps
12x DVD: 66 - 132Mbps / 8.2 - 16.5MBps

Blu-ray 2x: 72Mbp / 8MBps
12x DVD: 66 - 132Mbps / 8.2 - 16.5MBps

Blu-ray 3x: 108Mbps / 13.5MBps
12x DVD: 66 - 132Mbps / 8.2 - 16.5MBps

Blu-ray 4x: 144MBps / 18MBps
12x DVD: 66 - 132Mbps / 8.2 - 16.5MBps

A comparison of Blu-ray's read speed to a 12X DVD's maximum and minimum baseline.

At 2x Blu-ray can read as fast as 12x DVD's minimum read speed. At just
3x Blu-ray is comparable to DVD at 12x; through the first half of the
disc 3x Blu-ray is faster, through the second half of the disc 12x DVD
is faster.
And at only 4x Blu-ray manages to best a 12x DVD's maximum read speed
by 9%.

The PS3 has a 2x BR.

 Well im thinking about getting the orange box for the PS3 anyways. So ill tell you HL2 PS3 vs HL2 PC in the future.
