Target has a 120GB for $125. That is still too high.

It's really tempting but when I realize I still need the disc and only play one or two games at a time, it's not worth it.
It all comes down to your playing style so if you're thinking about it, consider how you play first.

I'm in the same boat. I rent two games from GameFly each time and I can barely keep my head above water with that as it is,thats just enough space on the hard drive then. Though I still have to delete a few more demos to fit Tomb Raider when it arrives ina fewdays.

It also reduces noise as you never have to spin the drive.vumpler said:

Anyone try Sonic 2006? Load times still atrocious?

I love how quick these installs are.
I just did Pure and it's only 4.4GB (didn't see it on the list).

PGR4 update: I put the game in and got a title update today. I tried playing off the HDD and there are no sound glitches that I can tell.
Has anyone else tested PGR4 today on the NXE? Anyone else get the title update?

I'd be really surprised by that given Bizarre don't really exist in their old form any more... but kudos to them if they did get an update out. I'd try it, but it's been so long since I played it that it would have cleared out the old update anyway.Kaijima said:

I think the only game i'm going to install is GTA4. How does this effect in game loading?

Installing Dark Messiah: Might and Magic seems to fix the music cutting out issue. It loads a little faster too. It takes 6.1 GB to install it. For me and the three people that own the game it's good news.
Madden 09 is 6.7 gigs. I only got to play in practice mode so far, but it was nice practicing my plays without my 360 making horrible noises. The load times seem faster but I didn't time them or anything to compare them to the old ones. If I notice any significant changes after jumping in my dynasty I'll post back.
Nobody else has stepped up to do it so I will. That's right, I've just tested the game with the single longest load times on the XBOX360: Sonic the Hedgehog.
The result? They are still long as hell BUT slightly more tolerable. Don't get me wrong, Aristo's Challenge will still test the limits of ones sanity, but things do move a tad quicker.
I'd estimate that the game loads about 15-20% faster. Not great, but still interesting.
Man, this game is such a piece of shit, though. I mean, I managed to find SOME enjoyment in the game back in 2006 (barely), but holy shit, it is seriously one of the least polished games I've ever played. It feels like some sort of leaked alpha or something.

Installed Gears 2 and Banjo so far.
Will get onto Mass Effect and Dead Space soon. Haven't played them yet though, too late last night when I got the update.
Then was playing Original Banjo Kazooie for an hour or so. So many memories came flooding back.

It's such a relief that now I can play my games without fearing DRE's... That's by far the best thing about the whole NXE for me. My disc drive was on its way out, but now its use will be reduced to a minimum. Plus, it's finally quiet. Installs = awesome infinity

I played some Bioshock off of my HD today, and let me say, I think I'm going to start using my 360 a whole lot more now. Honestly, the difference in volume is wonderfully awesome. It doesn't bother me near as much as it used to without the DVD sawing away in the corner. I'm so happy with this update, and I feel like my 360 is going to last a lot longer now without all of the DVD use and head generated. Way to go MicroSoft. Now I just need a reasonably priced HD. 
TChirath said:Just installed Dead Space. I was hoping that the install would get rid of that small delay when opening doors, but it's still there
Yeah the consensus seems to be that loading screen load times will be reduced, but mid-level streaming is more or less the same as it has been.

One question I've not seen answered... and it may take a dev to answer. Can you detect if your game is being run from the HDD or the DVD? I'd guess they'd add it to the SDK at some point, but I have no idea if it's in there now.

Do you have to go to the side and use the start from harddrive option or does it utilize the feature once you hit play?

I havent done it but the instructions dont seem that difficult. But of course, there's always a risk of getting banned or getting your gamerscore reset to 0. I'm not sure if that's true but there's always gonna be some sort of risk
I guess I'll be installing PGR4, yay
Precisely. I can't believe how outrageous the prices for both 60 and 120GB are. It's 2008, Microsoft. I guess we could expect no less from a company that also wants $10 for a gamertag change, though.alr1ghtstart said:
I might take a chance and try to snag one off of ebay someday. They have some 60GB ones for around $70.

If people want to save space don't install Gears 2. Gears 2 is already optimized for loading very well. If your main concern is dvd drive noise, installing would make sense.
I totally agree that HDD prices are atrocious. But if you are okay with spending around $70 for 60GB, better option would be to search for that 120 GB deal.
