Installed to harddrive benefits?

[trayeight]

But wouldn't it have to be on the disk first, before you could install in to the hard drive?

Multiple disks

Install disk and a Play disk would work for me

Brilliant side effect to letting us download games to our harddrive will be the sales of the new 60 and 120 GB HDs. I know i have one on my xmas list. As for the topic, i felt even the game played a tad quicker but the most noticeable was the menus.

is this something new for 360, is this already what the PS3 does?

On 360 you can install the entire game. As far as i know on Ps3 your only installing parts of the game. If i am incorrect on the PS3- please tell me how to install the whole game on my HD.

Whats the point of installing to your hd if you still have to put the disc in while playing?

You only need the disc in to start the game. Less wear of the disc, quieter gameplaying, obviously you don't get the DDEs, seems to run quicker, and quicker loading times would be plusses to having the game on the HD instead of disc.

Cool, I was thinkin that you could just rent a game or somethin then save it to your HD. I was like, hey the game companies are about to lose ALOT of money
