  • Halo 3: ODST doesn't take any time to load anymore, too bad I can't use it on all my games, damn 20gb HDD. I bought it only a month before the 60gb's came out WORST, TIMING, EVER.

  • same/. :(

  • @ClydeE247 you should have called coustomer support they might have sent you a 60 gig hdd with a transfer cable

  • Well its not just the load times, thats a slight perk. It is better for your disc drive to not have to be constantly spinning when its reading most of the data from the drive. It reduces heat produced by the console some and reduces fan noise. And for those people that have money to blow the modern warfare 2 consoles come with a 250 gig hard drive.

  • is xbox 360 less hotter when u play game from HDD????

  • if I buy an xbox 360 with a 20gb hard drive can I buy another i dunno 60 gb hard drive and just put it on my xbox? or would i have to do anything???

  • you can do that - the hard drives are interchangeable within seconds - just remove old drive & clip on new drive.

    but if you will upgrade to a 60GB hard drive, you will need to request a 'Transfer Cable' from Microsoft so that you can put all the data from the 20GB to the 60GB.

    the retail 120GB hard drive comes with a transfer cable. so that may be a better option imo : )

  • if you buy a hard drive just you have to muve the info from 20gb to 60gb is easy copy and paste into your new hard drive but you need a new conection with cables man :)

  • Yes You Can, The Hard Drive Is Detachable

  • I install it for the noise reduction.

  • This feature for the xbox is really cool I installed fallout to my hard drive and it runs a lot faster than on a disc.

  • So if u install it do u still need the disc

  • yes.

  • dont install things to your harddrive it takes long then ps3 this video he just fast foward i tried install DC vs universe it was worst 30 to 40 minutes.

  • Obviously he fast fowarded why would he want to bore us with a half an hour of downloading?

  • 10 min of installing

  • certain games are different especially if they are older because they weren't designed to be loaded to the HDD

  • Lol? Wtf. You're supposed to do it when you are not doing anything so in the long run you dont have to wait for it to load constantly retard.

    He wasnt trying to trick you with the installing or anything, he just didnt think you would want to watch the whole dling....

  • lol wut.

  • will it not freeze as much if i download it

  • There is more advantages than that.

    For certain games, my xbox overheats to fast because the disc drive spins the disc so fast.

    Sometimes, my xbox randomly scratches my discs. So installing your games could save you the trouble of getting a new copy if you have a retarded xbox like me.

  • same

  • well done for making this video i hope it stops some retars from asking do i need a disc. and the benefits are just too much when u install it on the hdd heating is less sound is less loading is a bit quicker so ofcours its an excellent upgrade.

  • I only have 30gb left. I'll intall anyway. If i'm planning on playing gears more than 60 times, then it'll be worth it.

  • Okay so if i install GOW2 or Fable 2 and i delete the install thing and i start playing on my disk again will i have to start my campaign over again and and have to get my achievements all over again.

  • no. u only delete the copy of the game to play it quicker. you dont delete ur progress or achievements

  • Comment removed

  • cumquad

  • this is cool

  • how do u get the background

  • hai ive got a scarf on my gow 1 but my cousin gots one with no scarf if i install his one and then put my disc 9with scarf) it playes fine without trouble?

  • I like this but for a few seconds that is barely noticeable ill run from cd ;)

  • yes u can run from cd but your system will be louder and hotter so if i was u then i'd put it on the hdd only the best games though

  • why is it not worth it if u have a 20gig harddrive? is it not as fast? b/c all i play at this moment is call of duty waw

  • its ok i think but remmember each game takes about 5-7 gb of memory so just put your fave game on hdd the point his making is if yu have a bigg hdd you can put all your fav games on there

  • becouse most your gigs will go 20gb lol

  • when i got fable 2 it crashed alot at the same point but I then installed it and hasn't crashed since. So if it crashes or anything try and install it.

  • not worth it. im only gonna save 10 seconds of my life.

  • Can you do an NXE install for Halo 3??? ty

  • IT DESTROYS THE GAME

  • Bungie says it makes it slower. Yeah, doesn't work for halo 3.

  • What song is this??? i heard it before...

  • canon i think it was

  • its a classiccal song put into a rock song called cannon in d[the original name]

  • man i love you you changed my life im your biggest fan dude your awsome

  • hey quick question before I install one of my games into my Hard Drive:

    If I select Delete from Hard Drive,will it delete the game enitrely(including achievements)?

  • no. itll just delete the game

    but if ur an online gamer download the game u play the most.. i did

    and the shit loads fucking fast as fuck

  • kay thanx for the info ^_^

  • im prolly gonna save mine to the HD. i dont want it going the way of my skate 2 disc which got scratched by the 360s own laser cause something bumped the frickin system......

  • 10 seconds honestly isn't that big of a deal...if it was close to 20 seconds being shaved off then maybe the installation feature is good but 10 seconds? not worth it...BUT you're correct it will save disk drive life

  • i wish i had an xbox and had to play that crap

  • I like the idea.

  • what song is this? :<)

  • Canon Rock! :P

  • canon rock by jerryc

  • how do u get it

  • sorry about my stupid comment..i posted it be4 looking fully ay the video

  • how do you install the game? Sorry if it sounds stupid, im only like a few weeks into this xbox

  • how much gamerscore do you have

  • 2351685413854351438413514

  • he has 87k lol

  • Vacuum? mines a god damm chainsaw.

  • mine still sounds like a vacuum after i install

  • downloading the disc to your har drive also lets u play the disc even i its scratched up take it from me my friend and i were fighting i hit him with a left hook into his rib he went stumbling back into my xbox that had gears of war 2 in it while it was playing then a couple weeks later that same friend came over i downloaded his gears on my hard drive and my gears worked when i went 2 play from hard drive

  • That's also a really good point. I might add that to my annotation rant, haha.

  • Same Happened To Me, My Copy Of GTA 4 Got Messed Up, But I Installed It To Hard Drive From My Friends Disc And Now It Works Just Fine :) (My Copy Was Still Good Enough For The 360 To Recognize The Game)

  • @milesislive Hey man do you know if you have to have the same exact disk to play it from your hard drive or just any disk?

  • @SupriseLiquid yeah as long as it that game you can play any disc from that game

  • @milesislive is the Im a badass cuz i hit my friend part necessary child

  • dude my avatar looks exactly like yours! lol

  • so wats the point of downloading the game to hard drive do u just keep it on there for a while then deletes.i never done this or never realized until yesterday so dont get mad at me for not knowing

  • It's definately worth installing your most played games to your hard drive, but it's not worth using up your space for games you don't play very often.

  • discard my last comment i feel idiotic now....

  • i have a launch day 360 and im glad they added this feature in the nxe because my xbox isnt what it used to be, oh and by the way, ive never seen a red ring of death :)

  • Yeah, I have a launch console and mine finally broke back in August, about time in my opinion. It wasn't even the RRoD.

  • Lucky! My 360 WAS a launch one and got RRoD 3 times!

  • Ive read that you shouldnt install older games. Does anyone agree with this and would it be wise to install the 1st gears of war?

  • hey xyar can i play on xboxlive from the hdd i mean without the disc?

  • i jst wanted to know how much noise reduction happens when you do this because im think of doing it with a few of my games cause of family sleeping

  • it gets very quiet like when youre playing and arcade game

  • how do u get rid of xbox dash board :(

  • Ive also found that after anygame is installed, after you've loaded it more than once from the HD, it will load faster than the first time you loaded it from the HD. I think it starts to cache information.

  • PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP!! I HAVE A PROBLEM: everytime I turn on my xbox I have to remove the hard drive, and only once the console has fully turned on put it back in!! Otherwise the console only loads the initial 360 logo!! Does anybody have a reasonable solution or has had a similar experience? please help me out... by the way...Thanks, useful vid, I've always wanted to know how much faster it ACTUALLY was loading from the hard drive. The shop I got it from doesn't wanna repair, bastards...

  • if you bot the xbox that came with the hard drive thats only about 9 months ago they are only 12 gigabites not 20

  • Good point with that disc shit.

  • I think thats its worth it for a 20GB Hardrive if you play Gears a lot, because if you wanna play at night and youv'e got other family members sleeping in the room next to the T.V, you don't want a massive NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN drumming the house

  • It's actually saves more time because the logos take the same amount of time both on the disc and the HDD. If you started the time from the start menu to the checkpoint, you would have seen more difference in the time. Try GTA 4, it takes so much less time when installed to the HDD.

  • if you download it to harddrive does it mean you don't need the disc cos my gears 2 got grinded when i tilted my xbox should i have downloaded it to the harddrive?

  • oops strike that sos :(

  • you still need the disc (otherwise the only company to really make a profit would be blockbuster) but playing it from hardrive speeds up loading, usually its not that noticible (but on games like grand theft auto 4 it is)

    i dont know if its like a backup incase something happens to the disc

    try borrowing the gow 2 disc from a friend, install to your hardrive, give the disc back and try it

  • u know i got a 20gig hd and it sstill worth it cmon...its alot quiter!!! its still faster... and online play is WAY smoother IMO...

  • is there any way you can fix your xbox if one red ring comes up but what do u do if it does come up?

  • why is it not worth it for the 20gb cuz all i play is gears 2....i was thinking of putting it on my harddrive just to do it....

  • thx for uploadin this vid, i rly appreciate it, i was wondering if i should or should not do it with my 60 gb hardrive, but then i realize its worth to download

  • wot he sed at 1:58 is right, sum ppl are just thick and dont realise how stupid it wud be just to load a game and never use the disc agen but still be able to play the game, tis a shame hahaha

  • im not gonna do it.. one. 20 gb and i only got like 11 gb left next.. some games its faster.. other its slower and finally i dont really change games too much so why bother and i dont need it quieter because i got an intercooler which also cools it down better and faster... so yeah.. not saying its bad.. just saying those are some good reasons not to use it.

  • but the new 360's have a 60GB HDD and I have 65GB left from my elite

  • but im saying from my perspective of using a 20 gb and an arcade

  • 10 seconds, not worth installing, i can spare 10 seconds, and i only got the standered issued HDrive, like 14 Gigs, ain't buying a new one

  • they should have this song on guitar hero world tour it would be AwEsOmE

  • You can Download a version for GHWT from Xbox Live.

  • You can download it from GH tunes

  • great video of this subject, i tried with oblivion, have no detailed info for comparing, but it was sure more durable since the game initialy had long loadtimes!

  • Whats the name of the song  REPLY NOW!

  • jerry c- cannon rock

  • all xbox 360 games take about 6 gigs to install

  • Do you still need the disc to play it? Lawl JOKE JOKE lawl but how many gigs is Halo limited edition Xbox? (cause thats what I have and i dont no how to check how many gigs)

  • when installed, are there any issues on live? (like halo 3)

  • Been working great for me.

  • sick.

  • Where can you get a hard drive?Srry But I just got my 360.

  • it comes with it :s lmao

  • it comes with a hard drive fleadog12..........

  • i guess you gt an arcade eh? u can get it at best buy or wal mart or future shop or EB games or..............well you get the hint

  • doesn't anyone think that with the new update, Microsoft would have installed a system that would enable you to include a subject with your messages, so you can peep at the subject while still playing, just like the PS3? Instead of getting a message to invite someone, and opening the guide, you could just peep at the screen.

  • Fair play on this video. But it's worth it on a 20GB HDD if (like me) the only game you play is GeOW2.

    PS: the loading times between each section of the game is reduced to a few seconds aswell.

  • I agree. The loading time reduction doesn't make it worth it for a 20 gig, but it does with the less over-heation and less wear on the optical drive.

    Also, if I get a 60 gig HDD is there any way to transfer my memory from my 20 gig to the 60 gig?

  • if you install a game to your hard drive, you still need the game discs to play.

  • what is the name of this song at the begining??

  • canon rock

  • thnx

  • I love how you dont know that once you put the game in the console, you can press Y to go to install it

  • If you install the game on your hard drive you have maybe wrong textures if you play from disc all load in the right time

  • i have a question....i want to install a game in my hard drive but...i do not know if this game installed would need the disc into the tray,so i really do not know if the installed game need the disc in the tray, please xyjar respond me... please?

  • when you install you dont need the disk anymore and you can go online with no disk?

  • I have a question. I want to uninstall a game on my hard drive but if I do, will it just be uninstalled or deleted from my hard drive?

  • Uninstalling is the same as deleting in this case.

  • Okay whatever. Thanks for getting back to be so quickly. :P

  • Does instaling it to hard drive get rid of that texture blure? I instaled it to my hard drive and I have not seen it sence then

  • this blows my xbox broke, and i got it back and they sent me a broken one, and i sent that in and they gave me another broken one which i hav atm while im wating for the shipping box to come because they wont let u use 1 box twice mircosoft xbox 360 producers can suck my dick and go to hell

  • ur so unlucky LOL

  • duuuude! i got the same thing. my xbox got zapped and sent it in. got another broken one. sent it back, and went through about four. and then i went to my friends house and brought my next xbox and plugged it with his power cord and it worked, but it didnt work with mine. and it turns out it was just the power supply. make sure u check ur cord! lol

  • I've got a 120gb Hdd, I've installed all my games and that has still left me with 50gb to play around with.

    The biggest advantage to this I have noticed is the fan noise goes right down (for some reason the fan is on full speed on the dash).

    Also the load times to get to a games menu is reduced quite a bit, but the the new area load times seem the same (using Fallout 3 as reference).

  • it would be cool if the game had some kind of code that you could put in and be ablwe to freely play the game without a disk

  • Agreed - having to keep the disk in, while quieter, defeats the purpose for me.

  • no gay

  • wtf y

  • I dont know lol I wasn't trying to be way mean or anything :)

  • i uninstalled gow2 because im planning to buy a bigger drive

  • the thing i think is BS is u hav 2 hav the disc to play it if u downloaded it 2 ur hard drive

  • well its for security reasons, they'll loose alot of money if they dont require the disk, then alot of peopl will borrow n install without buying game

  • If Microsoft offered native support for an install-then-sell game business model, you could say goodbye to the Xbox 360 and any future games that would have come out for the console. People who don't realize this need to go back to high school.

  • What B3seb4ller24 said...

    does it still take forever to find a match online???

  • whats this song called? its fuckin cool

  • search canon rock on youtube

    or just 'canon"

  • Cannon Rock - JerryC

  • great vids but the installing is not just for the time :p

  • I play GOW2 alot and I have a 20GB HDD. Should I download it?

  • Yeah, if you really play it alot, I guess you should.

  • r u going too make more of those messages video or what?

  • lol i have the 20 :)

  • i think its noth enough time difference :S

  • does it still take forever to find a match online

  • Sometimes it takes less than a second and sometimes like 5 minutes.

  • what does install to hardrive do, does it let us play without disc?

  • I dont see the point of this video

  • It says in the title, and in the video.

  • nice video man

  • I dont get it whats a hard drive install and whats a disc install and do u need the $300 exbox to do the harddrive install or could u use an arcade

  • Doesn't matter which Xbox 360 "version" you got, just matters if your 360 has a hard drive or not.

  • for some reason after i installed it i can give more headshots online i think it gets the lag of or somethin

  • when you install it does the disc have to be in to play it

  • Yes

  • yeah

  • im pissed 2 weeks after i got my xbox 20gig the 60gig came out

  • Hey can you guys do a vid for halo 3????

  • Bungie recomend NOT installing halo3 to hdd.

  • Thats because of multiplayer something about lag.

  • they fixed it, no lag, well, depends on your connection...

  • Well it wouldnt matter for me anyway I only have the 20GB

  • I wonder if that was a joke?

  • hey man could you tell me the song? thanks

  • canon in d by JerryC
