Here is a video showing how much quieter the 360 runs when the game is installed. Also shows how the install happens. Awesome. Also unlike the PS3 you dont need the disc. It installs the full game. As you can see the noise level is pretty much non existant. Well done M$. I will be getting the 120 GB HDD.

 Here's another great video showing the loadtimes, side-by-side.  It's like 15-20 secs faster...an enternity in this instant gratification world of today.

Pretty impressive, and a feature that I will surely put to use on my elite.  With the new features of NXE, M$ will have to launch a bigger HDD for storage hogs, and hopefully, it's not going to cost an arm and a leg.  I've gotta hand it to sony for that capability, which I'm sure is a something that M$ can add if they "really" wanted to.
