I'm looking for some advice from people who have done it.  are load times noticeably lower? I want to know if it's worth the HD space. I have never installed a game before. since it seems I will be playing Dragon Age for the foreseeable future, I'm thinking "why not". but I'm a little worried about glitches popping up because of an install. that's just me being paranoid

oh and is it possible to uninstall games after you're done and if you can, does it affect saved games?

I've had the game installed since I had it. I've never had any problems caused by the install and the game has never froze.
If you intend to play this game a lot then installing is a good idea. Mainly because as the disc wont be spinning your 360 wont get as hot.

And yes you can uninstall quite easily. To uninstall go to the same menu you went to to install it then select delete from hard drive. This wont effect your saves.

Installing it is the best way to go. It really helps with load times and offers a slightly smoother frame rate, especially during intensive fights.

I run game from the disc. And didn't get any problems because of it. For my personal liking loading times were ok while playing from the disc.



But if you plan to play the game for long enough both in way non-stop gameplay and in total amount of hours, then I would recommend installing it on HDD, because it will make things faster. But I didn't do it, while playing several hours a day for over 150h total and never had any problems.

One good thing about installing the game, it shuts up the god awful loud disk drive ha! But seriously, I've played both ways and install is the way to go.

How do you install? And if you've been playing from the disc, can you still continue your current game after you install it?

When you pop the disc in..before you hit A on the disc slide...press Y(or the button represening "details" or something to that effect). Then you should see the option "install to HDD".

Yes, you can still continue the game. Does not affect saves at all. You can isntall midway through...delete it midway through..and nothing will change(except maybe load times and texture loads...maybe).

I would never play any game on my 360 wthout installing it first. So many benefits. Way more quiet. Less wear and tear on your drive. Your xbox runs cooler. Faster load times. Unless you don't have a hard drive I have no idea why you wouldn't install.

yep.. saves wear and tear on both machine and disk.. best way to go.

First thing when I got it was I put it into the HDD. It really makes the experience better when you don't have a loud disc spinning. Plus I had a bad experience when one of my discs got scratched after my 360 fell...

thanks for the advice everyone. I installed it and I haven't heard the disc spinning around since.



load times seemed to have gone down by only two seconds though. hmm

The load times usually don't have a dramatic change on all games...since they must perform well on 360s without a HDD.
