How often do you guys install games to your hard drive? I hardly every do.I have an elite so its not like I have worry about running out of space, I just never do it. I know the benifits of it but, idk it just seems something that no one I know really thinks of.

Although I have limited storage space (20GB Hard Drive) I always install the game I am currently playing. It's a win-win scenario, shorter loading times, no overheating, disk don't get a single scratch and the system doesn't sound like an airplane engine

Every single time, I can wait 5 or 10 minutes. Plus the goddamn noise the console makes with uninstalled games is just ridiculous.

One installs a game by going to the marketplace.

Never. Don't have the HDD space. 20GB FTL :( I would install more if I had the space though. Games like Black Ops or any current SP games I'm playing would be installed and deleted once I finished.

I install ones with long-ish load times.

I.e. Far Cry 2, GTA IV.

Insert disk, go to dashboard->Game Library->Select the game you want installed->Install Game

It still needs the disk to play, though

Every game I have is currently installed on mine. I got my first 360 (one of the 250 gb slims) for Christmas, so I've got more than enough room to do it for all I have. After my Wii's disk drive messed up and screwed up a game or two of mine I'm not taking any chances with this.

The first thing I do is install my games. The only advantage to it that I care about is the noise reduction.

I don't play a game unless it is on my hard drive. Newly bought games get installed as the first thing i do. Why play any other way tbh?

I install every game I play. I hate hearing the disc spin now, and my 360 seems to like that too. :P
