They need a multi cd player.  Lime a carousel(sp?)  They need like a 5-7 cd changer.  I usually play a sport game and a regular game at the same time.  It's a pain in the neck having to constantly switch the cd's back and forth.  It would be so nice to just select the game you want to play from the beginning menu and then play.  It may cost more $$ but I would pay for it in a second.  If the 360 had an attachable multi player cd/dvd player, I would buy it the first day it hit stores!  What do you guys think?

I think it's a good idea. I would buy it if it was cheap enough, but I would much prefer to see it as part of the console. I usually don't buy attachments. Perhaps next time.

Its not lazy, its technology.  They have the ability to make it.  It would be great I think to have a multi cd/dvd player inside the console.  If you think that lazy, then give up your car, your phone, your tv, etc and become amish!  (Theres always a fool in every corner)

Exactly King!  I'm not lazy at all.  I just dont like to switch cd/dvd's all the time.  I have a college degree, teach 8th grade, and go to school full time for my Masters degree.  Lazy? No

Don't forget watches, gaming systems, computers, TVs, cars, planes, trains, space shuttle, Cd player, Mp3 player, Blu-ray player, Hd-dvd player, dvd player, tapes, camcorders, chairs, re-fridges, oven, stove, Satilite. List goes on.

there is a reason why multi cd-changers never took off.  cus they suck. the motor breaks or your cds get stuck then you got to pry them out with a paperclip.  it would make the xbox extremely huge to have one of these becuas they have to rotate the cds inside the console and that takes up an enormous amount of room.  cars used to have these when they first came out, same with dvd players.  the public never really wanted them thats why you rarely seem them.  so to put them on a next gen game system is very retarded not to mention space saving technology.

Hey Spin, if you are teaching 8th grade, why the hell are you going for ur masters?  You dont have any use for it at all unless you are a highschool teacher.  Its not even that much of an increase in money.  Now if you were going for your doctorate, that may be different because then you could teach a college class. 

And yes that is the epiomy of laziness. Just get up and switch your games you fool.

ummmm the ipod and mp3 player was not built to be lazy it was just a better way to have all the songs you wanted in one place, a mulitple cd/dvd drive are you serious, show me one smaller than the xbox 360 first of all, and just get up off your A$$ and change the game its not like in your car where it pertains to a safetyand comfort point not having to change cds while your drive etc.

It's a moving part that is likely to break... What you really want is the ability to install / dump games onto your hard drive and launch them similar to how we do demos. How great would that be?

Yes excellent idea it really annoys me having to change discs all the time :( as I usually have 5-10 games on the go, this isn't a problem on PC as you can have as many drives as you like I don't see why PS3 or 360 can't make use of external USB drives anyway

Ok how about this then? Most games are 8-10gb so why can't they stop putting them on dics and instead start putting them on microSD's? Faster load times no drive noise and you could have multiple card slots for us lazy buggers :D :)

Wouldn't it just be better to be able to install the full game on your console and play without the disc being in?  Even if it required connecting to Live for verification (kind of like Steam), I'd be happy with it.  Considering how cheap HDD space is these days, there's really no reason to have CDs/DVDs other than for installation.  And, that's only necessary if you're not doing digital download.
