Xbox 360 Almost Gets Installs Right: Using Discs Is So Xbox 360 1.0

PseudoSavant has an interesting take on Xbox 360 hard drive installations. This is something Microsoft should really think about.

"One of the interesting aspects of the recently announced "New Xbox Experience" is that gamers will now be able to install/copy their games onto the hard drive. This will be a welcome feature for many people, and I really commend Microsoft on making installs optional (as they should be), however they just missed the mark on making it perfect.
...
I'm suggesting that Microsoft should change how their games are sold. Every game should come with a code that, when entered during an install, would allow gamers to play without inserting the disc."
