Hmm, what DMAN said was harsh. However, you are missing the point here. THe xbox\'s HD has allowed it to load levels that are the size of islands. This fact cannot be denied. Whether or not it\'s a mem card or a ripping machine is besides the point. Almost all xbox only games use the HD for some purpouse other than saving games. Extra game contents is being developed for games as we speak. DOA3 will get more costumes and moves through an addon in an OXM disc. Same thing applies for future games. However, I think that we should knock out future out of the argument. It is now that matters. And now I know that there are racing games(Mad dash) in which you can run non-stop for 5 minutes and run only a single lap. This is how huge the levels get. You know all of those games that can be done only on xbox? They\'re not exclusives because their textures are so complicated. They\'re that because they recquire the HD to function. No, my friend, it is more than a non-portable memory card.
