There's no reason to block playing games from the disc itself. Mandatory installations aren't that bad if you only have to install a couple gigabytes, but forcing people to install the whole game onto their hard drive is ridiculous. I'm all for reducing load times, but I"m also for saving space and having not having to constantly worry that the next game I buy will fill up my hard drive.

I'm not sure it's problem or not since it said 720 can play the game few seconds after started the installtion

That means even you deleted the game,you can still play it again very quick

Doesn't matter how fast you can get into the game. The constant management of your games collection is going to be really annoying for people with smaller HDDs.

If they use this tech,why would they sell a small(let's say<320GB HDD) SDK at first?

To make the console affordable.

A 500GB or even 750GB SKU can still sold it affordable,not even $10 price difference between 320GB and 500GB right now,i bet 500GB HDD price will even lower at late this year

Every penny adds up. Multiply those $10 by 10 million = $100 million added costs purely on the HDD.

Pretty low for MS

Plus it's not even $10,and pricing will keep dropping,i bet it won't costs 100 million even when they shipped 15 million consoles.

Believe it or not, even Microsoft likes saving money. If they feel they can get away with shipping with a low capacity HDD, they will. But I don't think they will since digital will be a huge part of their nextBox. I say 500GB will be the lowest they should go.
