Spring update comming with optional install for games? @ Kotaku

I think this is the only thing a Xbox 360 needs right now, just to improve performance in games and decrease popping etc like in GTA IV or GoW although they are not that noticeable for the common eye.

No thanks. First, there's too much good stuff on XBLA and stuff to download right now...I'd rather have the empty space for future options.

Second, most people will only have a 20GB HD, PS3 installs range from 4-6 gb's per game. Third, If I wanted to install a game, I'd buy a PC. Consoles are pop in a game and play, not pop it in, let it install for 30 minutes and then play.

Plus for PS3 using a standard Hard Drive, I'm more willing to use space because I can get any hard drive I want. I'm not paying 200$ for Microsoft's ridicolous hard drive when I could have a 500GB for half of that price. MS messed up this gen with small Hard Drives (And for some, no Hard Drive at all), so keep those installs far far away from me.

supposedly motion sensing controls as well. Wii = pwned?

We'll all just have to wait and see. I don't really know if I'd install many games to the HDD though....really, why would you need it? Load times are so fast the way it is...would it really speed much up?

Yea this is annoying...I own a Wii, I don't want another one.

Sixaxis failed...So why are they doing this? I like relaxing on my couch laying down with a controller sometimes...I don't always want to be huddling in front of my TV waving crap at it.

they wont do it because if ur drive is mostly full of ur games then ur not going to buy much off the marketplace.djrobst

Very true, or maybe they will just cut the cost on the 120gb Hard Drive.

if they did this, and made xbox live free then xbox360 would be the 2nd greatest console of all time, only beaten by the ps1NaiKoN9293

I didn't quote the rest as I didn't want to get you in any trouble.

Best console was the Dreamcast, you didn't even have to Mod it.
