You mean like having it installed, but played from the disc (i.e. noise and all)? I believe you can. Put in the disc, and open the guide. There might be an option that reads "Play from Disc" ... or, go the Dashboard, click on the main game slide thing, and then say to "Play from Disc."


Never actually tried, but I swear I've seen it before.

Is this even what you're asking? lol

There's an option to "Play from Disc" or something like that in the guide button. I've never tried it myself; no reason for it.

What the hell does that have to do with running a game from the disc?

if you choose play from disc option while its installed it plays it from the hdd and the dvd, as it would normally if you just clicked play. If its installed theres no reason or way to play it soley off the disc unless you uninstall it.

On the game menu press Y. There will be an option to Play from disc, some other thing, and to delete from hard drive.

I sense an unasked question here.

Why would you play from the DVD is you installed it to your HDD? Why wouldn't you play it from your HDD? Are you bringing the game to a friend's house and hope to play both copies at the same time?

That has absolutely nothing to do with the thread. I don't even see where you even got a "thug image" from looking at his post... But let me digress... As plenty of people have already stated, there is an option in the dashboard that says "play from disc". But may I ask, why would you want to play from the disc if it's already installed to the hdd? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?
