Future 360 Games to Require Hard Drive
While the FF XI required the HDD for it's online gameplay, the 360 on the whole didn't require the HDD for gameplay. That's all about to change with the recent development in 360 news regarding 360 games needing the HDD due to DVD's lack of disc space. This news could mean the 360 can now handle titles like MGS4 that require a HDD to cache off of.
My Take:
I knew this day would come. M$ was so short sighted by offering one version of their system without a hard drive and basing the discs on DVD instead of something like HD-DVD or Blu-ray. My next prediction is that HD-DVD games will be around the corner.

They are already taking the core system off the market, so at least they won’t be selling any more of them. It was good to get some penetration into the market, for those who were unwilling to shell out the extra $100 at launch.

There will never be HD-DVD games on 360, because the external HD-DVD drives are only made for movies. But the HD being required is great news. BETTER GAMES!

Only made for movies now. We’ll see what the future holds. It was a mistake to stick with DVD when it was on it’s downward curve of it’s lifecycle.
