I am sure that most games (aside from when movies are playing, etc.) do not 'write' anything to the HDD during game play (unless ofcourse you are saving or loading a level)

I'd be surprised if MS didn't think this issue through while designing the xbox! But then again, MS does have a reputation for this sort of stuff...

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

All current day HDD have automatic HEAD PARKING protocols when the power is switched off. You WILL lose info if you shut it off during a save-game session...which is kinda obvious!

thanks for the info here the article http://support.wdc.com/dlg/facts.asp

                                    How do you know its 'writing' to the HDD? I'm gussing you installed an external LED and druing gameplay it flickers... if so, then it could just be reading from the drive!
