That was... interesting. What I want to know are the RPM values for the various 360 hard drives.

Everyone's real concern is, how much installing can your DVD drive take consecutively before it craps out and fails?

No, I dont think anyone wants to know this, as it is no harder to copy data from the DVD drive than it is to stream it, and in all actuality, it would be easier on it having all the data read once and then read from the hard drive from then on, so it would actually be easier on your DVD drive.

You my friend, are absolutely 100% correct.
I'm a neat freak, so the new dashboard is a dream come true.
At first, I'm like, what is this [way back at E3], now with all the demos and videos I've seen, two thumbgs up Microsoft.

Me too. But, can we choose to not install games and just keep the 'jet engine noise' that I don't really notice anymore?
I don't want to spend £70 on a 120 GB HDD.

60GB- 5400RPM to 7200RPM

why does it asks you to insert the disc when the game is in the hard-drive?

the game is on the hard drive, they just require the disc for security reasons to see if you own the disc. if you could just play from the hard drive w/out disc, a lot of people could be out of business!

So you can't borrow games from your friends/rent a game, install them, and hand them back and still have the game.

that's just stupid, I mean the main reason why you want your games on your 360 hard drive is so you DON'T have to keep the disc in the drive, spinning around and risking scratches.

The disk spins long enough to check if its real, then it stops. Though, I wish you could remove it once its loaded. That way I wouldnt have to buy another cod4 or halo 3. I could load it, pop the disk out, then my bro loads it.

Actually, I think they've said that the disk will only spin on start-up (to verify you actually have it) after that, there will be no disk spinning/jet engine noise. So scratching and such shouldn't be a big issue.

it won't be scratched. one initial spin is all that is required. no spinning of any kind after startup. i'm sure you can even take the disc out once you start playing.
it's simply for security reasons. they didn't make this option so you can pirate games. it's simply for quicker load times and less work for you system.

I'll find it interesting if someone finds a method of cracking this. Depending on how the game is stored on the HD and how the disc is read at the beginning, it might be relatively easy to suddenly be able to pirate 360 games.

regardless of how sexy it is, i still am not comfortable with the new dash setup. when you select new menus as you go from left to right, the other menus disappear.
i liked how the blades would hide behind the current blade selection, yet you could still read what the other blades were. in this one they just disappear.
hopefully you can still keep the current blade setup with the extra functions this fall.

previous menus that you selected i mean, going left to right like the demonstration.

They have said that you can, but only in the form of the new guide button menu (it looks a lot like the blade menus system we have right now).
You can completely avoid these menus if you change your settings to automatically load the game instead of the xbox menu, and simply use the new guide button menu instead.

God forbid options (that should be memorized by now) are not visible when your not using them at that moment... smh

god forbid when going down netflick selections you can't have the option to see your previous selection while you scroll.
bottom line: seeing previous selections of options > a sexier interface.
