Xbox 360 Games Load Faster Than PS3 Titles
An MS employee boasts the Xbox 360 will load games significantly faster in comparison to the PS3, as the Xbox 360's drive is 16MB/second whereas the PS3 measure in at just 9MB/second.
Quote:
One area they are in agreement on is that Blu-ray's read speed isn't as fast as the Xbox 360's. Says DeLoura:
"Admittedly, Blu-Ray looks dicey from several non-capacity angles. Blu-Ray movies require a 1.5x Blu-Ray drive, or 54Mbits/second. Sony announced that PS3 uses a 2x BD drive, which is 72Mbits/second or 9MB/second. The Xbox 360 uses a 12x DVD, which should give it about 16MB/second. That is significantly faster for games and will result in shorter load times. And that 12x DVD drive should be a whole lot cheaper. (Note that the PS3 drive will do 8x DVD, and even that is faster than 2x BD.)"
Says Ozymandias in response: "This is pretty much what I've been saying regarding drive speeds. A good example of where we're pretty clearly agreeing."

High-end PS3 shipping without HDMI cable 
3. A recent Japanese TV show questioned if Japanese employees are lacking pride and loyalty where they work. One of the panelists commented that his friend who works for Sony, only buys DS games for his kids because Playstation sucks. Finishing up that Sony employees lack responsibility for their own products - ouch!
Now for the Somewhat good News...
1. Armored Core 4 for PS3 Only, Ditches 360.
New reports have surfaced that From Software has cancelled the 360 version of Armored Core 4 and will make it exclusive to the PS3 console only. The supposed reasons behind this revealtion is that Sony has reportedly signed a new contract which makes the game exclusive, secondly the game is too difficult to develop for the Xbox 360. We all know that "Difficulty" is from Sony's Brides..

As a quick side note, Bethesda is working on a special edition of Oblivion just for PS3. We were shown some screenshots (sadly, not the actual game) and it looks like an entirely different game. Every texture is being replaced with new extremely-high resolution ones. It’s basically what Bethesda wanted to do the first time until they ran into the DVDs capacity limit. BluRay fixes that little bottleneck. Killzone 2 - This one has been MIA since last years E3. It is still in development and it is, unequivocally, the PS3s big "secret weapon." Announcements are being held back until closer to the PS3 launch as it's going to generate a monumental amount of buzz. It's one of those things that I can't get into too much detail about. However, it looks exactly like the video. Yeah. That video. There was a demo, side by side, of an upcoming sports game (can't tell you which one). One was playing on 360 (DVD9) connected to an HDTV running at 720P. The same game was running on a PS3 (BD50) on an identical HDTV at 720P. The differences were unbelievable, simply because the BD has the space to hold all those extremely high resolution textures. The 360 could probably handle them, but they just plain won't fit on the disc. This is just one example of how storage capacity is hurting the 360. Of the parade of developers that spoke to us, the BDs capacity was the number one item of praise. No more having to cut corners or find creative ways to make your game fit on the disc. DVDs are just plain obsolete when you're talking about High-Definition hyper-detailed 3D environments.
Now, I find Most of those Rumor funny, Since they talk about textures, Funny how the Developers of Alone in the Dark, Said the 360 version has Better and More Textures than the PS3 version. Also if that is True about Oblivion looking like a whole new game, why is the PC version almost EXCASLTY like the 360 version? DVD9 Isnt limiting it since they could have mulitple disc to download. I love "Rumors" Also If the PS3 is going to be this Graphical Gaint, Why Hide it? Why Crush the 360's hype and Show the power of the Ps3 and Where truly that 600 bucks is going and why Games like Warhawk and Untold Legends Looks Like crap on a 600 dollar console of the future? Also I'll be Pretty Pissed If Oblivion came to PS3 but not too pissed, I dont see it comes for PS3 anyways, Simple reasos, 1. Bethdsha is PC company, they only Deal with PC or something close to that, which xbox is VERY close to, in which in turn is a Pc, also They have NEVER made anything or annocenced anything about being on PS3, also PS3 isnt getting any Awards on Easy programming for the system, they would have to remake the entire game, would it be worth it? No.
