This could be a HDD only game for the 360 if that was the case. |

Copy your games from the game disc and play directly from the hard drive. Not only will the drive not spin, but load times are quicker, as well. Of course, you will still need the disc in the tray to prove you own the game. http://majornelson.com/ -- http://lfcvideotrial.com/scoopex http://flickr.com/photos/scoopex/ |

Nah I'm sure a few people did but it really wasn't a big deal. |

Lost Odyssey was 4 discs. Metal Gear Solid 4 for the Xbox 360 would need 6 discs just to match the quality of textures and sound of the PS3 version. |

The potential 360 version would require 6 discs to be able to match that amount of space. Of course, they could decide to compress the audio and textures but that would result in a much poorer gaming experience (and I don't think Kojima would be game for that considering he was already complaining about how the Blu-Ray disc wasn't enough). |

Let's not forget that most people have a 20GB hard drive (as opposed to no hard drive or the 120GB hard drive). That's not even enough space to copy the 50GB. |
