It's not loud, it's just that you have super powered hearing. You may have heat vision too. Just keep practicing.

As for that huge power supply, evev the Gamecube had one (albeit not so big). I know it's hard to play Call of Duty 4 when all you can think about is the power supply, but tuck the thing behind your TV. Eventually, You'll forget that it's there.

Your posts never fail to crack me up.

Welcome to VGChartz. You might want to tone it down a bit if you want to stick around.

Hello, the Xbox 360 has a 12X DVD Drive spinning faster than the PS3 2X Blu-ray drive.

Dude its 12X vs. 2X...Please think logic or common sense before posting.

Everyone in this thread is right, its a troll thread.

What about kimbo's remarks? Shouldnt he/she tone down what he/she said?

2x blu-ray is equivelant to 8x dvd. so its really 12x vs 8x.

No, the 360 has a faster drive. Albeit a 10 dollar POS that's way to loud, but it is faster.

But the real question is why is this flame bait post not locked? :)

not really 2xBD is equivalent to 12x DVD, BD has 9MB read, while the DVD has an average read speed of about 9MB as well (it's dependant weather or not the DVD is dual layer or not but most 360 games now are dual layer amd because of that the read speed is on par with the BD speeds, an average of course)

I stand corrected: Just looked it up (most 360 games are DL)

From a reportable source:

2x Blu-ray Drive (72Mbps(9MB/s))
Single Layer (2x CLV) - Constant Linear Velocity (Same speed across entire disk)
Double Layer - Couldn't find any data but no games have been released on a double layer yet.

Entire Blu-ray Disk is read at 9MB/s.

12x DVD-Rom Drive SL (9.25MB/S-15.85MB/s(AVG ~8x(10.57MB/s) DL (4.36MB/s-10.57MB/s(AVG ~6x(7.93MB/s)
SL(DVD-5) 12x Max (5-12x Full CAV) - Constant Angular Velocity (Speed Varies from edge to edge)
DL(DVD-9) 8x Max (3.3-8x Full CAV) - Constant Angular Velocity (Speed Varies from edge to edge)

SL DVD is 1.57MB/s > SL Blu-ray
DL DVD is 1.07MB/s
Majority of 360 games are on DVD-9.
