I dunno if i understood it correctly, but the Xbox 360 owners will be able to buy games from XboxLive right at home, and download it directly to the Xbox 360 HDD via Xbox Live! Of course this proves that X360 will have HDD support, and in other news, Hell has officially frozen over!

Xbox 360 Live will probably log your xbox in their servers so that you could just re-download the games if your hdd crashes.

Anyway thats just a theory

Anyway thats just a theory I believe something along the lines of streaming will be employed too, because with a 40GB or 80GB HD, it won't hold that many games. I have a 250GB HD in my Xbox and it holds about 50 games, but of course, they're not going to have a 250GB HD in XBOX360. Even if they did though, what if someone wanted to buy 51 XBOX360 games over Xbox Live?? This is why I'm pretty sure they're going to employ some type of streaming...also it will help prevent against piracy rather than downloading the full game on the HD.
