X-box does use DVD's, but they are read spinning backwords from regular DVD players..
Can you give me any proof of this? A backwards spinning cd would be not impossible, but both hard and annoying to pull off (especially considering some people already have playable copied xbox cdrs/dvdrs). And since it has pc-usable data too on it. Many people thaught the gamecube spinned then backwards but that was proven false. I dont know anything about the xbox cd system, but my GUESS is that its similar to what dreamcast did, a small track of pc-readable data, then a gap that makes pcs think thats the end of the disk with the rela game data past the gap. Except that in the pc-usable section its a small dvd-format movie saying to insert the cd into an xbox.
