Am I the only one who doesn't install their games? Is it just too much work to go put the disc in?

What are you talking about? You still have to put the disc in when you install a game. But installing it makes your Xbox produce less noise and it sometimes makes the game faster too.Quote:

yes, loading screen times on larger games such as skyrim are cut by about half. you still have to use the disk D351.Quote:

That's why I have a 320GB xbox ;)
I am almost certain you can't put everything on USB flash drives. Personally I have 250gb but I have heard that you can't usually put install's or dlc on flash drives you actually need a hard drive. Again, I may be wrong.
Interesting. I didn't know this... And here, I thought my hd was this big for dlc... still probably won't be installing any games though.Quote:

Well I have the original XBox with the 10gb external hard drive and my laptop is not good enough to play games on (it is mostly for work). I guess that means I have gotten my hopes up for nothing. Well it has been fun guys.
i jus feel sorry for anyone who bought those cheap xbox's with next to no hdd space. what where they thinking when they sold them ill never know
