Yeah, but if they didn't require the disc in the drive people could rent games and download them for free. Rentals and retail purchases plummet after that.
Could you not just put the game on the HD, make an illegal disk and then sell the original?
No because the system that it uses to confirm the disc as legitimate is the one that is used when reading discs normally - you need a firmware mod to play downloaded games, you'd need one to play the game off the hard drive with a pirated disc.

The install feature isn't meant to be a way of getting rid of discs. They included it to improve loading times (DMC4 apparently improved by 30%), reduce the chances of a disc being damaged, and to reduce the noise from the Xbox by not having the drive spinning all the time you're playing a game.

Yeah, it's best to send a message too. I almost deleted yours because I didn't know it was you.

A few of my friends got it and said it's pretty sweet. They want me to buy it, but I don't know if I'm willing to dish out $60 for it.

I would only buy it if you're pretty hardcore into that stuff. I didn't find it very fun and the story mode lasts around 15 minutes.

I never really got into fight games enough to buy them. They're just something I'll play if a friend/cousin has it and we face each other.

and to reduce the noise from the Xbox by not having the drive spinning all the time you're playing a game.
which is a godsend considering how loud the 360 is in comparison to...well...pretty much every system...


Oh, and i doubt id get SCIV for the 360. I'll probably wait until i get a ps3 for it...as the d-pad sucks on the 360 and the ps3 is more suited for fighters....sure there is the horii stick, but 360 isnt getting blazblue, heh... >_>


then again, ive heard mixed things about SCIV...i just hope its improved over 3...which was a big disappointment.

Can't wait for Tales of Vesperia...

Gah Microsoft is such a ripping company. Decided to buy a 360 a week ago, I bought Pro. It came with this piece of crap headset and a 15-ish gig HD. What do you guys suggest for a HD?

You've only got two choices: 20GB and 120GB. A 60GB SKU is coming out soon. You can't just plug in any old hard drive like you can with the PS3.

I heard the 60GB SKU was already out in some stores. Actually, there is no set date it's just based off whenever they get to stores and they're put on shelves.

I suck at RPG games mainly because they get so hard (boss health: 9348057349805634785 ftw) and I end up quitting. I did really enjoy the first game though so I'll probably try it out sooner or later.
