Optional or not, its still a install that proved to have benefits. So the basic question is will you use the feature.

Side note: Both Playstation and Xbox have 20gb systems.

Have a 20 gb. I don't see myself using it but I can't say I won't rule it out. I voted maybe though I'm leaning towards a no.

Edit: Never bashed PS3 having to install games.

I would for games I play the most, but with a 20 gig drive (mostly full) I highly doubt I will.

If i had a bigger Hardrive, then yes, i would.

I've always been a fan of installs, and i've wanted it to be on 360 for a while now. I just wish the hardrives weren't so damn expensive.

If I just find a bigger HD laying around, sure. I don't plan on buying one, though, and I don't want to waste HD space on installs.

this is why, the thing is worth like 80 dollars at best. yet its still full price. microsoft its time for a price drop. seriously even there controllers are still a rip off i mean its been out for 3 years these things should cost no more than 30 dollars atleast at walmart there only 40 dollars (atleast online)

Unless I upgrade my puny 20GB Hard drive. Until then, I won't use it, 20GB is just too small for Installs.

I can't compare GTA load times from the PS3 and a Xbox, but if a game that size helps with your load times to download then you may want to consider it.

When its optional on the PS3 I avoid it and I will do the same on the 360.

No, I'd rather save space for demos and the free dlc of games. I only would use it if a game had really long load tiems or if I had pop-in issues, other than that, no.

I wont unless the game gain's massive improvement or the game is a bit scratched up and it can't constantly read the disc without problem's. Otherwise it's just a waste of space and time, but it's a good feature for those that like to do that type of thing and have the Elite with space.

CubanBlunt

The fact that it's optional and not mandatory speaks volumn. I plan on upgrading to the 120GB Elite next year so I may install a game or two just to see if there are any significant differences. I think most people probably won't even both though. I'm definitely thinking about getting netflix and renting movies on XBox 360 though. I watch a lot of movies and there were a few that I missed over the last 5-6 months. I like the direction M$ is heading, but they definitely need to keep getting more exclusives and more 1st party exclusives. They need to restart their sports line again. I want another Links game. After losing Bungie, Bizarre Studios and Bioware excluisves, they really need to open more 1st party studios and make more games.

It depends on the game. I got 120 gigs so I really don't have a problem wirthwith it, just like the PS3 installs. I just want some clear benefits for the trouble of installing otherwise why bother?

Why not? Just uninstall the game when you're done. I usually only play one at a time for weeks on end anyway.

I have an elite, so I can see myself using it on certain games. Prime example would be Fallout 3. Seeing the load times on Oblivion by Bethesda makes me feel I should expect similar load times on this game, so I would definitely use it for a game that the loads take longer amounts of time.

no, i have 20 gs hdd. And im not gonna install for 10-15 minutes to save 3 seconds of loading. Im lucky, my 360 dvd drive doesnt make much sound, so im better off plying straight off the disc instead of installing.

If it provides a benifit then yes. Aslo, MS should relaease a 60GB HHD for seperate pruchase or drop the outrageuos price on the 120GB HDD.

Only if I'm playing a game with constant loading.

And I have a 20GB so I would only be able to install one game at a time.

well I've got the elite, but I still don't see myself using it.

I'm perfectly ok with loadtimes.
