>> any device that is that loud can't be that enjoyable to watch movies on.

I use my Xbox 360 as my primary device fo rwatching ALL TV and ALL movies. I never notice it... the fans don't really kick in until you are playing a game.

>> We also find it hard to believe that a 6GB version could look as good as the 30GB version on HD DVD

>> >> All Xbox Live Marketplace (XBLM) content is encoded at 720p using the VC-1 codec. HD DVD is encoded at 1080p using the VC-1 codec.

Exactly, and Batman Begins (for example) is only 12mbps 1080p. So, 6mbps should look damn decent at 720p as long as they do a decent job of encoding.
