Upcoming Sega title to require 360 HDD

Planet Xbox 360 is reporting that Sega's forthcoming Football Manager 2006 will require the Xbox 360 HDD. A "Hard Disk Drive Required" icon is featured on the front of the game's box art.  Didn't the FFXI Beta require the device too? Do we smell a trend?

So much for Microsoft's claim that no game will require the HDD. Our hearts go out to all you Core owners...
