PS3 Load Times Will Be Slow (Very Slow)

In a recent post, Microsoft blogger Ozymandias continues his rant against Sony, PS3, and the Blu-ray drive. This time though, he’s got a good point when he mentions that load times are faster on a 360, since Sony is using a 2x speed BD drive, working at 9 MB/second. The Xbox360 uses a 12x DVD drive, where transfer speeds are at 16 MB/second. Even the PS3 DVD reader is faster than the Blu-ray.

Now imagine Resistance: Fall of Man, taking up a massive 22 GB, what sort of loading times can we expect? If there’s one thing Sony hasn’t openly talked about regarding the PS3, it’s the loading times.
