XBOX Live: New Experience Nov 19th

^
IIRC correctly I have the BenQ drive which I think is supposed to be more quiet than the two (?) other drives that have been known to be shipped with the system. It's still relatively loud, mind you.

Frankly, I don't understand why. I mean this is just a standard PC DVD drive, essentially, isn't it? Then why not pick a more quiet one?

I suppose part of the problem may be the housing of the XBOX itself which probably doesn't allow for much sound proofing. I imagine the PS3 with the somewhat larger exterior might be better suited to that.
But then, the Wii has a tiny case, and it's far, far more quiet.
 
I've gotten used to my 360's noise. I might think something was wrong with it if it suddenly started working nice and quiet-like. :p
 
I used to be awesome at video games too. I once completed Robocop on the Spectrum in one sitting. No saves, no endless continues, you complete it or you start from scratch. Games were much harder then.

Modern games have made me soft.

That's a good point.

I thought WoW would have kept me sharp, but besides twitch reflexes, I guess the only thing it taught me was to manage a shitload of stats and strategies. Oh, and a bunch of math.

if you want that old scool feeling, then
1.) Don't save your game, beat it in one sitting
2.) If you die 3 times, restart the game.
