Good thing they are releasing a 60GB 360 because there's a new feature coming that'll take up that room. The Gamerscoreblog guys has some details on some new features for the 360 and one is the ability to install the game on the HDD for decreased load times. You'll still need the disc to play of course but at least you will have the ability to cache some of the game onto the faster hard drive. Another neat feature is that you'll be able to access the Marketplace from the Web so you can purchase products without logging into the console at your own convenience. Finally, 16X10 over VGA or HDMI, and support for 1440x900 or 1680x1050 will finally hit the console. Great additions and I'm hoping support for the installtion of a game onto the hard drive gets support from old titles as well as new titles.
