        I'll be back in the 360 game this weekend. What are the advantages and disadvantages of installing games to your HDD?

          The load times are faster with certain games, there's less of a chance of the disc getting scratched and there is no noise.

          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

            also certain games like Battlfield BC 2 run better online with it installed. However, others such as Halo 3, run worst online when it's installed.

              Thanks. Is there a list somewhere that tells you which games run faster or slower?

                Halo 3 is the only game I know of that has a reported negative impact when installed. I have the multiplayer disc that came with ODST installed, and really haven't noticed much of difference though. Most other games should show slight improvements with load times being cut down by 2-5 seconds, and maybe matchmaking times being a little faster. RPGs show the most noticeable improvements from my experience. Load Times aren't much of an issue to begin with, so as mentioned, the biggest advantage is really far less noise, and wear and tear on the drive.

                  Wait, did you sell your PS3?

                  I have now had the 360 back for now a week now, and the installing the games to the HDD is the best damn thing I have seen as an option in a long time, Love it, have all my game s installed so far,. not hearing the DVD drive run and not having to worrying about it breaking down from spinning is just a plus.

                        Didn't the update fix Halo 3 a few weeks ago? I might have misread it, but I thought it was fixed.

                          I assumed it was fixed, so you probably read my post, it's the same as it was before.

                          I have the Halo 3 disc installed as well from ODST, and saw no issues.
