Crazy Xenon idea

What if the DVD drive was actually a DVD burner?
Microsoft could go the "Steam" approach, and allow people to buy full games off of the internet, and burn them at home.

I apologize if this has come up before.

No.
 
No offense mate, but if thats one of your better ideas.... seriously think about getting a vasectomy.

Oh, the potential headaches this could produce.

The software would likely download to a hard drive before being copied to the DVD. Why not just keep it on the drive in the first place? Piracy, oh, think of the piracy. Requiring an internet connection for people to get/play games? Not a wonderful idea either. What if you wanted to take it to a friend's place? Would they have to purchase it on their Xbox Live account to use the game? And that's just after a minute of thought.
