Hi. I just got my 360 today and have been having a blast with it. However, I have heard people recomend that you should install your games to the 360 hard drive for various reasons. Now, I've been looking over thew manual but I can't find anything that says how to do this. Can anyone tell me what needs to be done?

Once installed it no longer requires the disc inside of the 360, correct? In that case, how do I launch the game? Also, it reduces load times, correct?

Now, this is a bit off topic, but how can I remove the various game trails and videos that come already on the 360?

It still requires the disc, once you've installed it choose the play from hard drive selection, but after playing something different and you go to play that game again, make sure you change your settings on your 360 so that they don't auto play when disc is inserted. You simply go to system settings @ the far right on your dashboard, then click console settings, then disable auto-play from disc. From then on out, once the game is inserted, give it a few seconds, then press Y like magicalclick stated, then chose play from hard drive.

Also, about those trails: Is it a limited form of the game, like a demo, or one of those trail things where you can only play for about 30 minutes and then it's gone?

Not 100% sure what your trying to ask, but if youre asking whether installed games will be the full version then yes they will be.
