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."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Just don't start forcing installs on us
I agree with almost everyhting that was said; as of Now I don't really care about the disc being in the drive I will only use this with games like Mass Effect 2, Boarder lands and APB etc.
I do agree these are baby steps and MSFT will have to be careful with pirating issues although to assume MSFT won't be imporving this feature before full blown digital distribution is foolish.
What is APB?
Also, gamers will just rent games, this is a dumb idea.
With piracy the way it is already on the 360? This is something I'm sure they are being careful about to see if it can be exploited. What is the big deal with having the disc in the drive?
@#2: APB is All Points Bulletin a new game from RealTime Worlds(the guys who did Crackdown).
wtf. So u don't need the disc?
HOW BIG of a install are going to take place?????
