I think everyone forgets that early adopters on any device (hello iPod owners?) get screwed over. Look at PC's. I remember getting a 120mhz CPU which was top of the line 12 years ago :)

At any rate:

  • HD Installs are a premium service - just like demos, HD movies, and downloadable content
  • 20GB owners knew in the beginning, that as XBLA grew, their hard drive's usefullness was going to shrink.
  • Why no complaining about the X360 Core which was made before the Arcade launched?
  • How many games do you need at once, really?

A 20GB HDD will be enough for 1-2 games, which IMO, is all you need, really. I fail to see why you'd want to have 5-8 games saved at once. That'd be incredibly useless unless you were gaming many hours per day - and if you did that, why wouldn't you have the cash for a 60gb or 120gb HDD?

Good points.  But M$ treated Zune early adopters very well.  All functionality on the new Zunes is available on the original Zunes.  It doesn't get my goat that I can't install a bunch of games on my system.  If I had the space to do it, I would, but no skin off my back to not be able to.  I might put Halo on there.  But it is a fantastic thing for people that want it.
