And thus, it starts... (hard drive-only XBox games)

Honestly, from what I hear the Core is like 10% of their sales, and over half those people buy the HD within a few months

Just for MMO's now. There was a time when there was no HDMI coming to the system, and now the Elite has one and it is trickling down to the Pro. Also, the 20GB hard drive was enough. Now there is also a 120GB HDD out. If enough Developers complain or ask for the use of HDD space, MS will cave in and allow it. Also if the reports of a Single DVD not being enough space and the HDD is the answer, allowing devs to use HDD space will become a norm.

What I am concerned about is that until I deleted most of my demos, I had about 2-3gb left. And I could have easily used that 2gb with more demos or trailers. In total the Pro Xbox360 has about 11gb useable when you first get the system. Now I am assuming that the quote was an extream with MS saying "Feel free to require 30gb", but still, this can get insane or limit use to people that only have the Elite, or purchased a 120gb HDD.
