Shhhhh, Xbox!

The drive is paired to the xbox so you cannot just replace the drive like you could on the original xbox.  IIRC the dodgy firmwares available still require something from your xbox360s firmware so it can remain paired up with it.  However, that may have been initial releases and could be very different now.

My Wii is no-where near as loud as my 360, the difference is insane. God only knows how they arrived at these results!

Thats pure sh*te - my Wii is as quiet as a mouse I would never dream that the noise it makes would be a problem.

I concur with the above, Wii makes so little noise in comparison its untrue.

Weeelll...

My original 360 was whisper quiet, even the drive was close to silent...
...then I got the 3 red lights, sent it in for repair and got sent back a hurricane in a box :o

So I was guess that the results from that "scientfic" test were done a box like my original one.

My Wiis DVD Drive was noisier than my Xboxs Samsung...

Guess it all depends on what drive you have...

Just bought a talismoon blue fan to hopefully shut my new 360 up, it seems to be a little more whiney than my old dead one :?

MS have started shipping the 360 with a new BENQ DVD drive that is reportedly "a lot quieter" than the originals
