Do you need the new dashboard to install games onto the hard drive, or can you do it with the old dashboard?

Fable 2 is making my 360 sound like an electric toothbrush atm >.>

You need the new upgrade and I would recommend a large hard drive.

damn, now I need to find a way to connect my 360 to the internet...

So will you need to create an live account? I don't want to use the 1 month gold up because I don't have games like halo yet which make gold worth using.

Up to three accounts per console I believe. So if you really needed to, just make another account for another free month gold.

NXE is the only way to install 360 games on the hard drive.

But can you decide when to use the 1 month of gold, or does it start automatically?

Fable 2 installed on the hard drive is a life saver. It's sooooooo quiet.

I believe you can go to Xbox.com and download the NXE to a DVD or CD and then install it to your console.

And yes, like everyone else said, you can only install games to your harddrive with the NXE, not the old dashboard.

Each game takes up about 6 GB (depending on the title).

And no, you don't need live to install games. As long as you download the NXE from Xbox.com, you should need Live at all.

I think it's pretty much gone for that gamertag. I didn't use my free month and I can't see how I could activate it for the gamertag I made back then.

Weird, makes you think why they even have the option there...
