Is this true, or is it just a rumor? Are there some games that can't be run from the hard disk???

Sounds like complete bull to me mate, don't worry about it.

As I undertand it, programs that execute XBEs create a symbolic "redirection" which makes the game think it's running off the DVD drive in the root.

I suppose it could check for the redirection.... still, it should be simple enough to patch out the check.

ofcourse MS can now try software ways to stop piracy.
So in the near future you will probably need patches to make it work.
