Next gen Xbox disk installation required

4.2
Earlier today, a few images of the "Microsoft Durango XDK Documentation Setup" leaked on the internet. This document is for licensed game developers only, and it reveals tons of unannounced information regarding the next-gen Xbox to the public. Much more has been added to the documentation since the last time it was leaked.

What really threw us off was the following:
"All games will be installed on the hard drive. Play from optical disc will not be supported."

What do you think? We'd say this is proof that they will include, at least, a 320GB hard drive in the base console at launch.

We also noticed that upon installation of the documentation, all of the tools and plugins needed for developers to create games are installed to Visual Studio 2012. Older versions of Visual Studio seem to have been abandoned.

Mitzz the bad thing about this is there the game might take ages to download


i know, right now on ps3 it takes ages.

i really hate having to install games.

omg why!

You are DUMB! It takes like 5-10 minutes or max like 15. Downloading only helps you. If you don't have 15 minutes to spend on doing that, you probably shouldn't be playing anyway.


Yes, if people didn't have the option to install games, it would be terrible.


My discs never get damaged, so I wouldn't care.


Well a lot of people get that circle scratch on there disc.


I got one of those ages ago from my sister tipping my Xbox over.


Yeah your xbox freaks out and circles your disc up ):


That never happens to me lol what are you talking about?
