you know i have been thinking....with a 120 gb hard drive you would be able to store a lot of things on there. Maybe a couple of albums, some videos, a movie? But why not actual games, like buy them from MARKETPLACE and then download a full game. Could this be another use in the future? _________________________________________________________ http://www.myspace.com/discardedtelepathy <--my music, please let me know what you think...

I'm sure some one at MS is looking at this possibility, when you consider the PS3 allows some games to be installed on the harddrive for faster access times, MS will be looking at doing the same.
Personally i wouldn't buy a game and download it to the harddisk on my 360, but having said that it's just like a XBLA game (only bigger), would that mean MS would up the size limit again on XBLA games? _________________________________________________________

I agree but it would take ages! And what about the cost, I mean if you have a bad conection, it could seirously damage your phone bills. _________________________________________________________ http://media.ubi.com/emea/rainbowsixvegas/goodies/r6v_sig1.jpg

well i was thiking you would have some kind of code or reciept .. more like a reciept so that you would have a hard copy or what not whenever your harddrive corrupts or whatnot...
i mean i know business, and if they were saying to just buy a bunch of 20gigs to have all the download content and what not, like i raed in some article or on some post, then i am almost certain they were getting the public ready for "DOWNLOAD THIS GAME SO IT WILL TAKE UP YOUR HD, BUT WITH NO LOAD TIME..." (although i don't klnow much about the load time from the HD compared to the DVD) well, with a game like oblivion, this would be a plus, but other than that game i don't see a need for it....(that game has like 2 minute load times [although i am without a harddrive, just a memory card)]
my biggest thing is how easy will it be for us CORE buyers....you know
the ones that DON'T have HD and are still using thier BETA 8's to see the latest version of a RUSH laserdisc that has been DOWNSIZED....just a thought
EDIT: because i am a DRuNcK arse, i respelled words i needed to...so _________________________________________________________ http://www.myspace.com/discardedtelepathy <--my music, please let me know what you think...

see me personally i don't think it would take ages...i mean one DVD double layered disc...IF USED TO FULL CAPACITY is only like 9 gigs max right? so why not...if you are gonna leave your 360 on to download an HD movie...why not a game?
btw, if you are going to leave it on that long....then WHY make it so easy for it to overheat?????!)(&@#)!(%&@#)*($
pay more attention to the last question than anything else.... _________________________________________________________ http://www.myspace.com/discardedtelepathy <--my music, please let me know what you think...
