"It's the consequence of having a limited size hard drive, with a lot of other things to fill it out," he says. Companies are allowed to expand the required size, but the game should always run on the original requirement -- users have to approve the change. If the requirement goes up, Microsoft is playing with the idea of allowing the ability to degrade -- those are Microsoft's words -- the experience. Their ideas, straight from their presentation:
So now you're really gonna get the worse experience if you have or get a core. Not only will you have to buy stuff to save, download XBLA stuff, now you will get the crappy version of the game too. Wonderful...

IF it's true I don't see this as a negative thing...on the contrary i think that the Core version limiting X360's potential is a much worse issue for the years to come.
Personally i wouldn't see anything wrong EVEN if microsoft decided that some games can be played only with HDD (afterall even today if you don't have an HDD you're cut out from the xbox live experience)...but MS hasn't actually gone that far: you still can play those game, just wih reduced features.
