like a PC game does and then spin down until it's over. MS knows
we're all PO'ed with the drive failures and noise and it's rather tired of
replacing them at their cost, they also know the fool drives contribute
to the heat blooms that kill 360's and they'd like out of that mess too.
PC Games have done it this way for years so it's not that impossible
to rig this up to be sure. Shouldn't spin the drive past the boot of the
game unless there's some kind of add-on content or DLC just to
re-check the validity of the DVD disc and license.
Now, of course when the hacks screw it up for the rest of us and try
to find some way to get around that, MS will re-write code back in
that makes it spin more than any of us like... Thanks hacks!
