i have the xbox brand flash drive and it performs just as well as the third party hard drive i have. I am currently playing skyrim on my flash drive. one thing to note though INSTALLING games takes longer with a usb than a hard drive. other than that the difference is unnoticable.

Something that really bothers me sometimes is how every living breathing creature in open world games feels the need to attack you and kill you while ignoring any nearby NPCsmav_destroyer

what this dude said

thank you everyone for all of your feedback. however i have one last question. should i install skyrim? or play it off the disk? any benefits of one over the other?

my wife bought me a xbox slim 4g/kinect bundle for christmas last year and have been using the system just for kinect games. However today i ordered an 250gb hard drive and skyrim. i have been reading over the past months all of the problems and glitches that people have come accross in the game, so i was wondering....how well is the game running now? and is there anything i need to know or any suggestions that i should hear to avoid any glitches or problems. thoughts?

these prices concern me a little bit. makes me question the power of this machine...

How many hours am i looking to sink into each one of the games?...i want to get both, but only one right now. gonna get one tomorrow so keep up with the posts to help me decide!

the both look to be great games. I am an RE fan, but there is something about kid icarus that just looks new and refreshing...also best buy is having a 10$ off sale on icarus so i am kinda leaning towards that. how is the longevity of both games? I got mario land 3d and mario kart 7 for christmas and i am still playing them and have not fully completed either so i am looking for a game that give me alot to do like those two..thoughts?

got some best buy gift cards to use and was wanting to get some opinions on which to get. I currently have super mario land 3d and mario kart 7 which i am still thoroughly enjoying but was looking to get one of these two since there is nothing else coming out for awhile that i am really interested in. so could anyone give me and thoughts or opnions on why i should buy one or the other. any input will be greatly appreciated!

Sorry but i had no framerate problems with or without 3d....3d looks pretty sweet btw.

Am I able to install games to a flash drive though? I thought i read that somewhere, or did i read that wrong? I was hoping to install skyrim to it and figured 16gb would hold me over for awhile until i had enough money set aside for an actual hard drive.
