On a 20GB HDD, Not thanks. The whole reason I didn't get Jade empire of the Xbox orginal was because it was 6GB.

Wow, with those 20gigers out there, this is going to be rough, but it's optional. The PS3 optional ones are the ones I like. Honestly though, if given the option, I always hit yes.

Thank goodness I have a 120gig 360.

Out of the box the 20gb X360 only has apprx 14gb of usable drive space. So for most X360 owners that 6.8gb for gta4 is half their usable drive space used up with one game. It's good that Microsoft is making it optional, but it's honestly a feature I don't see many X360 owners using.

We've done almost 3 years without it, I'm sure we can do another 3 without it as well. If you really want to install a game, delete some content and do so, it's not like the 20GB hard drives are not compatible with the feature. Also, if you want to install many games, just go out and buy a bigger hard drive. Clearly you have the money for multiple games, I'm sure a hard drive won't be too much of a burden.

Its optional because it 'can' speed up load times, and you dont ahve to ahve the cd rom spinning during gameplay, othewise, i'd jsut run the games off the disc.

More options for more people.

Don't think thats was the reasoning behind implementing this.

I'm not saying it is a negative. I'm not against installing, i think its a great benefit.

I'm just wonder why they suddenly after 3 years out in the market, they decided to implement installs?

Pressure from the developers? Pressure from the competitors?

or is this someway to make consumers believe they need to buy those overpriced HDD?

This and Mass Effect are probably going to be the only games I install to the HDD (120 GB owner here). Hopefully, it'll get rid of some of the pop in and loading issues (this is much more for Mass Effect than GTA IV). It's nice to have the option to do this, but seeing as I haven't had a real problem with most 360 games in the performance department, I can't see myself using this feature too often.

I don't want to be captain bringdown or anything, but you have to keep the disk in the disk drive... The only reason for this is to speed up load times and save people who have 360s that eat disks.

I'm glad it's optional, anything optional isood, I wouldn't mind a fold out ironing board as long as i's optional.
