Installing Gamers to HDD+ could spell Doom for Microsoft Lawsuit

I was thinking about some of the new Features for this NXE and 1 potential Problem came up: whats stopping People who Rent Games to install the rented copy of the games to their Hardrive? this could be a huge problem for Microsoft and Game companyies cause we would never have to buy games again casue they would be on your HDD and people just return the game to Rental Store and the Full game is on your HDD people would never buy games again do you think this will be a Problem?

They prevented dirtbags from stealing the games

They were aware of the problems that could come if they weren't protected

How many times are people going to bring this up, you can't play the game without the disc, you honestly think MS is that stupid come on?theMarshell

You need to have the disc in.craigalan23

What can now happen is.

someone can make a firmware hack for the dvdrom drive that tells the console the disc is in when it isnt. maybe there will need to be some sort of programmer attached permanently to edit the name of the game disc.

I'm pretty sure there are people that have been doing this for quite a while now. Mod chips are everywhere.

In regards to the initial post, that's the very first thing I tried after installing The Orange Box.

I imagine people who hacked the console can already play games without having the disc.

no one can currently run any code on the console, short of that king kong hack so no... not yet hopefully

No kidding? Well, that's good news then.

On an unrelated note, when I first read this game, I thought it was some joke involving Doom, like the game Doom, due to the thread creator's unusual capitalization choices in the title.
