Well I certainly have enough space, but the downloading time.... D:>

I can't play any disced game without installing it first. The noise from the disc drive is annoying the hell out of me, if I don't install it.
I have to say, the HDD install option is the best thing that happened to Xbox360, ever. No noise from the disc drive, (usually) faster loading times, the consoles don't overheat as much, wich means they don't RRoD as much, disc drives also get a boost in life expectancy, game discs are much safer while in your console (if you accidentaly bump in to your console while the game is running), etc...
So yeah, installing a game before playing it, is pretty much obligatory for me.
I had never installed a game until Red Dead Redemption overloaded my console and caused the good ole RROD. Thereafter, I downloaded to harddrive and it hasn't failed since. With that said, I noticed the odd graphical/pixel problems in RDR after installing . Generally, I've learned installing equals better performance, but I don't get the impression this is the case on all games. We'll wait and hear the verdict as for ME3.

Yeah I plan on too.
Not really the place to ask, but does anyone know if there is a texture problem when you do this with ME2?
The Slim definitely made life much easier with its huge HDD. I probably wouldn't have bothered upgrading to 250 GB if I hadn't decided to buy a Slim. Now I can install my games as I please without worrying much about free disk space. It almost feels like a PC.Yakko77 wrote...
It's good advice which I do for all my games. Having the slim 360 with LOTS of memory comes in handy to be sure.
Question already answered HERE.Chuck Fandango wrote...
Can I install the game on a USB stick? I can't afford a 120gb/250gb HDD.
If so, how big would this game be, will I be OK with an 8gb USB stick or should I go for a 16gb one?
We don't know yet, though you can take an educated guess and presume the swapping will still be required given what happened with ME2. I'd prefer not, but we'll see...Pacifien wrote...
Hey, since I've been ignoring the forums, anyone know if keeping the stupid disc in and swapping them is still going to be required even though you installed them to the HDD this time around?

In short, yes, you can. But it's not without some cost.

I just meant they're not quite as fast as the HDD, and the 360 will ALWAYS use 16 GB as the maximum amount of space regardless of how large your USB drive is. So if you install ME3 (assuming it's two disks) to a 16 GB USB drive, it will take up close to 90% of the total available space.Chuck Fandango wrote...

What do you mean some cost? USB drives aren't that expensive, certainly a damn sight cheaper than buying an official HDD!

When you finally have ME3 on your hands, install it to the hard drive before starting it up. (If it's two disks, install both disks.)
I know many of you plan to do that already, but those who don't, you very much should. Make no mistake: ME3 is going to be a big game, and running it straight off the disk may not be a good idea especially if you're going to be playing it for hours on end. By installing the game to your HDD you will save yourself the trouble of having to deal with potential annoyances such as extended loading times, occasional cutscene lag, and even sudden disk read errors. More importantly, your 360 will be much more comfortable running the game for hours thanks to the disk not spinning (which, in turn, contributes to minimizing the chances of potential failure on both the console's end and the game disk's end).
Once again, I am probably playing Captain Obvious here, but I also realize that there are some of you who may not exactly be fully aware of just how much trouble HDD installation can save you, so this is more directed at them. It's also a friendly reminder for those who do know that. Assuming ME3 comes in two disks, you'll need anywhere between 13 to 15 GB of free HDD space to install it, since the average disk size is about 6.8 GB for AAA games these days.
That is all. Happy hunting!
