1. Ridge Racer 7 loads noticeably faster than RR6 if you use the "install to HDD" option to put frequently accessed data on the HDD. They really are essentially the same game, so I'd expect load times to be pretty similar. This is certainly a PS3 advantage, and another reason to feel irritated that MS even made the Core pack. (Oh, RR7 feels like it loads just a bit slower than RR6 with no HDD installation).
2. Perhaps MGS4 will come to another platform that isn't 360 (or obviously Wii)... Microsoft has been really hyping up Windows Vista as a gaming platform. It seems like a matter of time before the 360 gaming business and Vista gaming have more convergence. I'm not convinced of a PC version or anything, but just saying it's not an insane possibility. |

You're completely right, and it equating "1x" as a measurement of Blu-ray data access speed with CD-ROM or DVD ideas is simply comparing apples and oranges. However, people do fall for this sort of thing.
Reminds me of the positively insane Cingular US cell phone advertising strategy of a year or two ago. They showed signal strength as FIVE little bars, as opposed to the competition (which had only four bars). Then they proceeded to imply that more bars = better reception. Except that's fucking stupid, because supposing a 100% clear signal Cingular's 5 bars is the exact same thing as someone else's 4 bars. Dividing two identical pies, one into four pieces and one into 20 pieces, does not mean the one with 20 pieces contains more pie! |
