Run XBLA games from DVD-R, CD-R
Those crafty fellows over at 360GameSaves have uncovered an interesting "feature" of our beloved 360. It looks like Xbox Live Arcade games will run off of an ordinary DVD-R or CD-R. There's some technical mumbo jumbo that we won't relate here, but the upshot is that all you have to do is pop in a CD or DVD with the games burnt onto the disc. The article does note, however, that these games will still only run in trial mode if the full versions haven't been purchased on the 360 being used. Please know that X360F will not be held responsible should you attempt to break open your 360 like a piñata in order to retrieve the delectable games inside.

Makes perfect sense. Unified storage structure and all that.
This makes me wonder if demos will do this. Download the demo, move it to your PC with xsata, burn to DVD and reinsert...could be a good idea, no? Save a lot of hard drive space for those demo junkies.

Just read the actual linked article. Demos don't work. Bah :(
