They probably should have made the 360 capable of reading HD-DVD, even if it lost the media race for films it would still be a perfectly good format for game storage. They can't really force users to buy an add-on just to save you having multiple discs, I'm sure MS will sort this issue in the next console. Sony's already made a start with the PSP Go on adopting a digital only medium but everyone can see how that went down so not sure what Microsoft is thinking. 360s can now get 250GB drives which is good (though at a premium) I dont think thats quite enough if you hope to install games and movies, we need something in the TB range.
