The use of it as an external peripheral is that if someone wants to watch HD Movies, they will need a High-Def capable disk player. By using an external device, the consumer can choose to use that.
But the games will not load from an external drive.
Imagine running your PC Operating System off of an external USB drive. Sure you can, but it's not as fast as an IDE or SATA connection on the motherboard.
Ok. But think, IF there was an option that game developers could use that external drive for gaming purposes, would Bungie use it then..?
Stop grasping at straws.
It's not going to happen, mostly for the reasons Recon outlined.
