have you installed any games into HDD

Yep, I've got:

• Oblivion
• Mass Effect
• Bio Shock
• Virtua Tennis 3
• Orange Box
• Skate

All installed on my lovely 120GB HDD!

I already have the original Halo on there (downloaded it from Marketplace).

installed NHL 09, didn't see any improvement in loading

installed FC2, havent noticed any improvements with loading but the 360 is so nice when its quiet

 Play the games for a while through the HDD and then try to play them from the disc again. I bet then you notice a difference.

It's funny sometimes it seems like we don't miss/notice something until it's gone.

Well, because NHL only reads from the disc to load specifications for a match it isn't disc reading intensive.

As for Farcry...i've been playing the game for 28 hours now, just installed onto my HDD last night...no difference in loading at all...from what i noticed anyway...but then again i overlook a lot of what most people can pick out.

Well, you're lucky cause you have a 120gb hdd...ive only got 20gb so i only have enough room to load 1 game.

And most of those game you have installed are very disc intensive reading games...especially Oblivion, Mass Effect and Orange Box so im not surprised you see a difference. Both the game i installed don't require a lot of disc reading so thats probably why its less noticable...or not noticable at all.

either way im jealous...i wish i had 120gb hdd :(

I was lucky, I got an Elite. If I can afford it I just get the biggest space I can. My MP3 has enough space to hold 5000 songs - I think I've got about 300 on there! :roll:

Now, I feel so grateful that I did get the Elite, it's proved its worth - mind you, when I bought it the shops were doing a special and it wasn't that much more expensive than the 60GB.

man you are a lucky guy I'm going to get an elite for christmas.

I heard if you install a game into the HDD then eventually your system begins to freeze..SO DONT DO IT

i've installed gears 2, fable 2, Call of duty 4, fallout 3, GTAIV, and Left 4 Dead. and i do see a lil better in terms of load times, but i did those mostly so my 360 wont heat up as much or make such a racket. KGB32

i don't know how to download games onto hdd :(x-chump-x

its easy after you finish playing a game leave it in the drive and press y on the my xbox section  and then just select download to harddrive.
