I plan on getting a hard disk mostly to use the new interface and to install games like Fifa 09, Halo 3, Oblivion on the hard disk. I heard that the older games will not perform properly when installed on the hard disk. Is this true? Has anyone tried any of these games (Fifa 09, Halo 3, Oblivion, Gears 1 and 2)?

I have installed gears 1 and 2 and they work perfectly, it also cuts down loading time, and reduces noise and heat outputs from the console

This is a relief, especially Gears 1. Because as I said I heard old games were supposed to be poorly optimized for loading from a hard disk. Thanks for the info

You know how on your XBox it says HDD under your hard drive? That stands for Hard Disk Drive, so technically Hard Disk is just as right

yeah, thats so people dont go to blockbusters rent a game install it and then have the whole game for about £5. The game starts from the disk and then is then played from the hard drive, just like most games for the pc.

They dont miss a trick I guess. about the HDD I guess I was wrong in part. I was hoping on avoiding a RROD by using a hdd.
