PS3's Blueray player is way to slow for gaming

[QUOTE="ZicoPT"]

Yo're wrong regarding the PS3 BD drive speed.

Read mechanism:1x@36Mb/s & 2x@72Mb/s

If you compare to a DVD drive like the XBox 360 it is faster:

12x@15.9Mb/s and 16x@21.2Mb/s

Would you like to provide a link to that info? Because I'm pretty sure you got your bits and bytes messed up

PS3 = 2x BR drive = 72Mbits = 9Mbytes/s

X360 = 16x DVD drive = 169Mbits = 21.2Mbytes/s

DVDs read data faster on the outter of the disk than in the inside. 360 uses 12x drive So:

12x DVD: between 66 and 132Mbps equals between 8.2 and  16.5MBps average 12.35 MBps(although there are techniques where you put the most accessed files in the outter rings to speed up loads, so pratical average could float a little)

Ps3 BR reads constantly at 9 MBps, no matter where the data is in the disk.  

About the HDD cache, devs haven't optimized the loading techniques yet. This installing every game in the hdd is ridiculous. The right thing would be to dedicate a single swap file for all games, so they could load up the most used files, between the time the game boots and the moment you start playing, and keep caching it throughout the gameplay.

Sorry, you're probably right. I think I got it mixed up.

I've been watching too many HD video stream ratios and that got me confused since DVD is about 10 to 12 Mb/s and BD is 30 to 35 Mb/s.

He did, megabytes is represented as MB/s, megabits is represented as Mb/s.

You friend are correct in your translation to you i give a cookie.

And read speeds in hardware can't be upgraded through firmware so the ps3 is balls with a low read speed with high storage capacity which makes it a nightmare find you it with a ton of information because your read times will increase. So you either have to dump information on the hdd of the ps3 or well...thats really your only choice.

I should have stated the variable vs constant differences but I was only trying to clarify his bits/bytes mistake
