How would you tell if the disc spins? The 360 sounds like a hair dry in 'low' compared to the way quieter PS3 and Wii.

My 360 when the disc drive isn't spinning is dead quiet.  Not sure where you heard this?  The 360 is pretty much only loud when the disc drive is spinning.  So yeah that should answer your question too.

yes it does need the disc, no it doesnt need to access the disc,

Ive got a brilliant idea, why doesnt microsoft create an install disc so consumers can install cg audio and whatever else to the hdd, and u insert the play disc and when it needs to load something just use the hdd for loading it, u know like the old pc days, baulders gate and diablo2 anyone??
