As for the downloading games direct to the HD, who thought that this would be a good idea for the XBOX 360? Perhaps, and I stress perhaps for the PS3 with its none proprietary HD that can be easily and cheaply upgraded to 500Gb, but not the 360. And even then you have to deal with download times and large files taking up space on you HD, changing out HD?s when its full, not to mention its difficult to trade in or sale a used game or take a game to your friends to play if its on you HD. Just doesn?t make sense to me.
