Was Microsoft smart and thinking ahead when they chose DVD?

Another issue with the DVD drive of the 360 is the noise.
This is a big factor that shouldn't be overlooked.

The new feature to allow one to copy the DVD to the HDD is a great one, the noise in the first place isn't.

 

Seriously, does anyone play their videogames with the volume so low that you can hear the DVD drive? When I play videogames the last thing I hear is the 360 drive and I definitely enjoy playing games loud either by myself or with friends. Anyone saying that the noise coming out of the 360 is an issue is either a rabid Sony fanboy that wants an excuse to believe that their console is better (lol) or you just have superb incredible ears that you can listen to it through all the dang noise while playing (or mommy won't let you play your games loud enough).

 

Anti-complaining will get you no where.

 

been there, heard that... by that I mean the loud DVD!
