That's right, DVD5 and DVD9 were considered slow enough to warrant disk caching (installs) on the original Xbox, a process Microsoft "pioneered" on mainstream gaming consoles.

The ONLY reason why the Xbox 360 does NOT have installs or caching is because they farked up and created a SKU that did not have a hard drive standard. The access speeds and all that bullshit is just PR spin to try to cover up that deficiency.

 Original Xbox Reading speed...

 2x - 5x DVD Drive (2.6 MB/s – 6.6 MB/s)

 360 Reading speed...

 12x DVD drive  (15.85 MB/s)

 

Anyways,  I agree in the part of the big bad decision made by MS...
