Netflix streaming. Installing games to the Hard Drive Deletion of zero gamerscore games Sharing photos app Probably a bunch more I'm forgetting.

Drive doesn't spin, less noise, and less stress on the system.

But again, you have to have the physical disc.

Right...gotta have the disc...check.

Thanks for all the info. So will playing the HD version limit freezing, or wipe it out entirely?

Most important info. Even though you burn the disc to the HD, in order to play the game off the HD you have to put the disc in the console, then choose to play it of the HD.

BTW has anyone play around with the NEW Resolution Features. I'm really interested this new feature:
