Eventually it might get to the point where you can buy full games over Live instead going to a retail store and buy a disc. But that's a long way off. With a 20GB hard drive, with a average of 9GB (DVD-9) per game that's about 2 games. A 100GB hard drive would be about 10 games. If they had the option to re-download games without paying for them again then it might work as you play a game beat it, move onto another new game then one day decide to play that game again. Even with a fast internet connection downloading a 3GB game client on the computer takes about 3-5 hours.

It would be nice (well not really, retail stores like gamestop/eb would be out of business and me out of a job lol) to downloadfull games but maybe in the next 'next' gen systems.
