Also, unlike the Xbox 360, doesn't have a CD tray. Instead, you put the CD in a slot, and it gets sucked right into the system. I don't know what its called, and I'm too lazy to look up the proper name of the mechanism on the Internet. So I'll just call it the "CD sucker thingy."

Just FYI: It's called a slot-loading mechanism.

So that's what it's called. Man, it was driving me nuts not knowing its proper name. "CD sucker," CD tray, with no tray," "hole thingy." Finally, I know its proper name. It was so awkward trying to think of an alternate name for the "slot-loading mechanism." What's the Xbox 360's thingy called? "tray-loading mechanism?" What is its proper name?

Ya mon!
