Press "X" for game details and then you should see a box that says "Install."

Answered HERE.

Thanks, I'll be getting a 250 gig hard drive so space shouldn't be a problem

[SykoWolf]

I try to only install games that have a noticable difference in loading times when installed, so ille probably do this for ME3.......OMG less then a month..

[G3rman]

Not enough hard drive space, oh well.

I must admit i dont. but i think i will now since i really REALLY dont like ME2 load times.

I recommend installing EVERY game you play. For one thing you'll love the quiet and another, it will greatly lengthen the life of your machine.

I still have a 2006 model so I can't install both.

Thanks Phoenix, I honestly never knew I could do that. Glad you posted this!

[Mr. MannlyMan]

I might be getting a 250GB Elite in the next week or so, so no worries.

Elite? Why not the Slim? It's literally superior in every single way.

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!

Thanks for this! I wasn't going to at first, so yeah again thanks!

Read the OP. Quite a few performance differences.

There are some people stuck with 20GB Hard Drives that are maxed out who can't afford buying a new one due to the fact they'd rather eat than direct HDD install.

Like me. :/

I understand, and sympathize. Don't worry, though--you'll probably do fine without installing the game. It's just a smart alternative to the traditional means that makes life easier.

Do we know how much the space the game will take? I have 2 8GB and a 16GB USB Flashie Drives.

If it's two disks, it will take no less than 13 GB; if it's a single disk, then about 6.8 GB.

I have a few playthroughs of ME2 to do yet so I'll try it out with it first to see.

I don't as a lot of games are still not optimized for this feature. unless I see forum posts showing that its faster load times (significantly so) then I'll install, otherwise Im fine with having to wait a few seconds longer on load screens.

Nevermind installation, I keep my 360 comfortable with a soft pillow and classical music...

[ABCoLD]

Sound advice

Resting the Xbox on a non-rigid surface may cause the unit's air vents to become obstructed and the unit to prematurely overheat.  That's right, soft pillows may void your warranty.

[Fidget6]

I've actually never done this with a game before. I think I shall for ME3 though, thanks for the advice. =)
