What's wrong with having the disc in the console if you want to play it?
Are gamers really that lazy we don't want to change a disc? |
Has nothing to do with lazyness. These consoles are supposed to be masters of multitasking and a centerpiece of an entertainment mecca. People are going to do things like say..."xbox play forza" while watching televison and talking to friends on skype and expect forza to be loaded at the race you were about to do 2 days ago. You are suggesting that everything needs to stop, and a disk needs to be inserted to verify if you really own that game by inserting it and only then it can continue. Doesnt really work if you ask me...I mean the bottleneck that potentially takes you out of the whole experience is pretty evident.

Funny thing is it HAS worked since the Atari 2600 in 1977.

I guess if something works we shouldnt attempt to make it better...
I do hope microsoft does give you the option to keep disc in and bypass activation. I am not saying youre wrong for asking for this... actually i think we may have a win here.
They could allow gamers to use the disk as activation and bypass online activation
BUT as soon as game is activated online the first time allowing it to be tied to your profile and played anywhere with your profile without the disk, disk cant be used as activation for that game ever again and 24 hour check in for the game is required.
Would that work?
