ORLY? That's very interesting.

That is also part of why Gamecube games are recorded from the outside in, instead of the normal inside to out method.

The difference makes a slight boost in load times. Since the entire disc is spun at a constant speed, the outer edge is actually moving data past the laser at a faster rate than the inner edge.

Thats assuming that data is recorded to the disk at a uniform bits per unit distance as opposed to a uniform bits per revolution. This assumption also assumes that the sampling rate from the center out is not uniform but rises (steadily?) as it goes outward. So the laser would need to determine its distance to the center and adjust its sampling rate continuously as it read data. So basically im calling BS.
