I have right now Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Fable 2, and Dead Space. Ever since I first used the "save to HDD" feature, I could never not use it. I even bought a 120 gig just to download more games, to me it's just that awesome:D
I install everygame when i first get it and delete it when I'm done with it. I do this because the console runs more quitely and doesn't heat up as much, not sure if it has improved load times much as I haven't tested.
I currently have Dead Space, PES 2009, Gears 2 and Cod:WaW installed.
I have a question how do install them on your hard drive never done that and second whats the advantage of doing so could i borrow a game install it then give it back and and not need to buy it ?

yeah i was thinking the same thing but then again if that was true im sure we would have heard more about it before
OMG.... 1. Insert game. 2. Highlight game on My Xbox and press Y. OR, go to Games Library and the game is at the top. Choose that. 3. Choose "Install to Hard Drive". 4. Wait about 10-20 minutes. 5. You're done. All it does is speed up load times as well as reduce the wear on the DVD drive. (which also lowers RROD probabliity) And when you start your installed game, it checks to see if you own the game.
I am mulling around with the idea of getting a bigger HDD because intall/unistall is getting annoying. With a 20gb (14gb) I can only have 2 games installed at a time.... but i don't want to buy the overpriced HDDs
None, but I did one time(Fallout 3) and I didn't know anything difference in the gameplay except my 360 not making annoying noices. I deleted soon afterward because it was eatiing away precious memory and I have a 20gig hardrive.
I seriously think that Microsoft needs to devolop a thing where you can just play the game taht is on your hard drive. thedudeman69
Yeah but then people will stop buying games. They'll just pass em around to all their friends and let them do it too. Not to mention that you could rent a game and just download it. Game companies would never do something like that. It'd be too awesome lol.
I have a few - COD:WaW, Fallout3, Mass Effect, L4D, NBA2k9, Madden 09, Ninja Gaiden II, Far Cry 2, and GTAIV. I love how quiet and smooth the games are when you install them.
Far Cry 2 as I heard that it stopped the game-killing glitch from appearing.
This may be a stupid question but when you delete a game off the hard drive does it delete the game saves as well?. Also, can you see how much space a game will take up before installing it? My puny 20GB requires some pretty tight space management
fable 2, gow 2, and saints row 2 fable 2 froze a lot so i installed it and it dnt freeze anymore gow2 i just did cuz i was bored and just got the game it was the first one i put on it. saints row 2 cuz i got the game used and it was scratched and dirty and would freeze

Thanks-INKling-
No it does not delete your saved games thankfully.
I have Mass Effect, Fall Out 3 and Fable 2 on mine. I only use the feature on big and potentially laggy games. The tend to run a bit more smoothly when installed, instead of running it straight from the disc. it's not a drastic change but after playing through Mass Effect six times. I can see the difference.Shika_Stoner
120 GB makes this feature win. The Orange Box Fallout 3 Bioshock Unreal 3 Left 4 Dead Gears of War 2 Dead Space Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts and Battlefield Bad Company.

Fallout 3, Fable 2, and Gears of War 2 right now. I like putting on games that I am playing a lot so I don't have to play over the noise of the disc spinning...Especially on load-heavy games like RPGs
Gears 2 CoD: World at War Fable II Left 4 Dead The Orange Box GRID Fallout 3 R6V2 I mostly install them so my 360 isn't so loud, load times and no more disc read errors. Only game I had any trouble with is GRID. I downloaded the 8 ball pack and every time I start up the game, it scans for any DLC and starts to spin again.
